Another Nicole Le Bris shot from Miami. Ooooh what I would give to back on that beach instead of trapped under 100 feet of snow here in Chicago.

A shot from my tipsy and rather spontaneous post-picnic photo-shoot in Central Park last week with White Cedar and Mercura (sunglasses).

My contribution to the Plus Sized Bikini fad as well as my response to post (work) photo shoot boredom. Does it count as a selfie if I used a remote? Probably, but I'm not even mad about it. This is also a great time to utilize Gabi Fresh's brillz hash tag #FuckTheThighGap

Just stumbled upon your page... You are officially my hero and inspiration! Trying to break into this industry and you are my muse!

I'm humbled that you like my work so much, but I gotta tell you to start googling some of my favorite hotties (Clemintine, Grisel, Natalie Monet, and Sarah Slick to name a few) to get some more inspiration! There is a whole world of powerful plus-sized women out there to get your motor going!

If you look at the notes on your post #32953117342, there are folks claiming that the pic is Photoshopped. I don't necessarily care either way, but, I think it would be good if you were to confirm or deny if it was Photoshopped. Either way, the discussion will continue.

To answer your question, it is photoshopped, but totally not in the way you'd think. I actually posed in the doorway of a kitchen (because that is where the lighting was the most kick-ass, which by the way is why my tummy looks as close to flawless as it ever will), and the very talented Photoshop pro made the background a classy solid white. 

As for the concern, I understand where you and everyone else is coming from; airbrushing isn't quite fair to the subject (I can't even tell you how many times my nose has been more anglofied and how that initially affected by self perception) nor is it entirely truthful to the viewer. However, it is a part of the industry, and sometimes it's not too big of a deal. For example, I have a GIANT birthmark that runs the length of my left arm, it is with out exception, ALWAYS 'shopped out because it is so freaking distracting. That isn't to say that I condone waist synching, leg lengthening or bust enhancing, but I do appreciate the ability to adjust for the greater good.

Does that make sense?

I kinda feel like I'm rambling....
