Athletic Girls are Beautiful, Too!

So living in sunny California, land of beach babes and Hollywood starlets is a lot of peer pressure. Let's face it -- I'm exposed to a lot of fake bake size 2 people! (Not that there's anything wrong with being a size 2). But isn't it about time that REAL women found some role models and people they could relate to?? I am healthy - I am an athlete and on my school's track and field team. I have an athletic, powerful build developed for the sports I play - shot put, discus, basketball, softball, flag football, etc. And I'm a pageant winner! I'm currently the 2009 Miss California National Teenager. I am very well proportioned, and I'm tired of the focus being on skinny minnies!
I'm a perfectly proportioned plus girl, and I love my curves! I can look oh-so-fierce and turn just as many heads as anyone else. Strong and healthy is the new sexy! We need to emphasize that ALL women are beautiful and relate more to the "everyday" woman.
I dabble in modeling and acting, and I would love to continue to reach out to young girls and women out there to show them that size doesn't matter!!!
