A vibrant lifestyle living in the heart of New York City isn't a pre-requisite for breaking into the world of plus size modeling, and neither is snagging an agent.

Entering a few local plus size fashion show and events are toted as the best way to get started in the arena of fashions for the full-figured woman. There are a number of plus size fashion shows and events that sport an open door policy, requiring aspiring models to take a crack at the business without professional training or even pictures.

Charity auctions, and the lavish luncheons that accompany them, also double as some of the plus size fashion shows and events in the industry. While not marketed as plus size events, approximately half of the attendees at such events tote designer labels in plus sizes. Fashion committee heads generally cast a number of plus size models for the events-which doesn't hurt in encouraging higher auction bids.
