Black Cat Plus Selects Authentic Woman Model Search Winner


What a week!! Whew! Trying to select the winner of our model search contest was trying to say the least.

Black Cat Plus is pleased to announce that Erica Larsen is the winner of its Search for the Authentic Woman Model Search Contest. Larsen will be featured as the web boutique’s model for its Spring 2008 Collections. As a thank you, she also receives a two-night stay at the Del Monte Lodge in Rochester, NY and a $500 wardrobe credit from Black Cat Plus.

I have to thank all of our model search applicants for taking the time to enter and to tell their personal story. We had over 100 submissions!! I was just astonished by the response and overwhelmed when reading the essays of the contest applicants. I really wanted to show the world that confidence comes in all shapes and sizes and from that confidence comes the power to change perceptions and reading the submissions of our applicants--we are on the right track!!

We are in the process of changing perceptions about what it means to be plus size in America! We must live who we are RIGHT NOW! Although this season, we could only select one model, we are adding more models for our Fall Collection. Stay tuned for details.
And from the bottom of a grateful heart--thanks to all of you who entered. If I have not been in touch personally, I will be as I am in the process of thanking each and every one of you! Jodell
