  1. Height: 183 cm. Bust: 98 cm. Waist: 84 cm. Hips: 116 cm. Shoes: 41.5 EU. Hair Color: Blonde. Eye Color: Blue. All Work. Nationality: Australian. https://www.instagram.com/missgeoburke/ https://www.facebook.com/missgeoburke/ https://twitter.com/missgeoburke https://medium.com/@missgeoburke https://www.pinterest.com/esmeraldafazlic/georgina-burke/ Georgina Burke Is So Over The Plus-Size Model "Shock Value" "It's kind of sad." Welcome to Talking Body, a new series where we have honest conversations with women about their bodies. We're kicking off with Australian Georgina Burke from the modeling agency JAG, an agency that represents models of all sizes, sans labels. Burke is a brand ambassador for Torrid (and was the face of the brand's collection with Rebel Wilson) and has also modeled for Addition Elle and Simply Be. Here, she sounds off on her body image as well as the larger changes in the industry— "any label's not a good label"—alongside a sneak peek of a new promo JAG is launching, shot by Skye Parrott. I started [modeling] in London, but my career really only kicked off when I moved to New York. I've been in New York for the last five years—people were more accepting of my size in the States. I would say my body is definitely 'curvy,' obviously, but I don't really use words exactly to describe it. It's more…it is what it is. It is curvy. It's got its lumps and its bumps but that's what gives it character. Honestly, I don't feel anything towards the word 'plus-size.' It doesn't affect me. All I worry about is that it affects other people that look to me as inspiration and they're like, she's called 'plus,' so what does that make me? When, really, it's just an industry term. Any label's not a good label. Honestly, the way I dress, it's probably hiding my body but it's always in a way that you'd still know I'm curvy. I'll wear massive wide-leg pants, but it'll be cinched in at the waist with a little bodice top. It's all relative to my style and my style changes daily. I want to be more, not 'covered,' but I don't like to have all my goods on show 24/7. My favorite part of my body is all of it. But if I could choose just one thing, maybe my tummy, my stomach, my midsection. I think it's one of the sexiest parts of a woman—on any woman. I think what's really happening in the plus-size industry is it's getting way too sexualized. It's like, how much boobs and butt can we see?! I don't think it should all be that we have to run around naked and show ourselves in bra and undies. Don't get me wrong—I was doing that too the other day—but at the same time, I think it's still beautiful to see a woman that can wear clothes and look elegant and still be put together and still be sexy, every inch of herself. "My favorite part of my body is all of it." When shopping, I do shop at all the designer stores. I'm not afraid. Like, I'll wear a size 8–it just might be different on me. It's not like I don't actually register that I'm a size 14. I wear whatever I want, as I want. It might not be true to the way the designer wanted it to be, but I guess that's what styling is about. I was always a confident woman, to be honest. I did equestrian sports. And that really puts your body on display: You're wearing white, tight jodhpurs. You've got to be fit and confident. And I wasn't fit. I was a chubby little kid, but I still did it because it was a passion. Modeling is a passion. Yes, I could be thinner. Yes, I could be more skinny, toned, whatever. But I am just doing me. I'm happy in myself and I think that's all that matters. I think I have considered going down a size, but I don't know if that's to open more doors, editorial-wise, if it would help me or what. I think you always think the grass is greener on the other side. But right now my shape's working for me not only work-wise, but health-wise as well. I feel pretty good in myself so I'm not too worried whether I go up or down because I haven't fluctuated in a long time. I think there's become more of a way for these bigger girls to get in these magazines because they've got a social following. It's not because they're a model. That's not just me saying that. I don't even look at my followers on social media. I feel, because all my friends and family are so far away, I like to have a bit of tongue-in-cheek on my Instagram. I don't take myself a hundred percent seriously as much as I probably should. But I'm not hashtagging or tagging everybody to get a million followers. It's literally like: Here's a taste of my life. Yes, I'm a little nuts. I'm Australian. This is what I get up to. Take it or leave it. I'm not putting a million selfies up every day. I'm just showing them my life. I think social media is super empowering but at the same time, I think Instagram has damaged some things because, like I said before, Instagram has become just too sexualized. I want to show day-to-day. Like of course I'll promote my lingerie campaign shots, but at the same time, I want to show what I'm like and my personality rather than just look like a sex symbol. It's kind of sad because it's almost like brands feature plus models for the shock value, to get noticed. It shouldn't be like that. Those campaigns should just be released, and it just happens, and then another one should be released. It shouldn't just happen occasionally. We need a happy medium of using a plus model and then shooting a straight-size model too and intertwining them instead of segregating everything. And I wish people in the industry didn't have the misconception that 'plus' models are not as agile or we can't move or that we're not able enough as a straight-size model because they think our size restricts us. When anybody asks me, 'What do you do?' I'm say, 'I'm a model–just on a grander scale.' That's all it is.

  3. Baillie Riddell Height: 181cm/6'0" Bust: 92cm/36" Waist: 81cm/32" Hips: 117cm/46" Shoe: 10 AUS/41 EUR Dress: 14 AUS Cup: C Hair: Blonde Eyes: Blue https://www.instagram.com/baillieriddell/ https://www.facebook.com/baillieriddell1/ https://twitter.com/baillieriddell My name is Baillie Riddell, alias: Christina Aguilera and Billy (both were unfortunately the result of my lack of sobriety, sorry). I was born about 20 years ago (Well don’t expect me to tell you if this is my “model age” or my real age!) . My parents are Sonny, “jackie” of all trades, and no not the Sonny from Sonny and Cher, and Hugh, workaholic pilot for Air Canada. My family is pretty freakin’ love crazy and diverse and sometimes I wish my friends didn’t know how much I share with my mother (it’s not just one-sided sharing either, whoops!). But standing out in a crowd, or atleast the grocery store, is so major in my life. I live somewhere between the Northern and Western Hemispheres, I hope that narrows it down for ya. Sometimes I should keep it more realistic, but what fun would that be? I looove the smell of a bonfire at night in the summer, as well as sitting around in my sweatpants (obviously) outside at just the right temperature all night with the most perfectly imperfect people. Also, I must admit I absolutely have a classic white-girl crush on Stanley Tucci. I would describe myself as being an eccentric nutcase to such an extent that I refuse to behave in any normal capacity, as long as there is a friendly audience. My friends say I am more of sexual advocate, in the most humorous of imaginings, whereas my family thinks I am all over the map! I have secrets… But one I can share with you is that I am completely anal retentive, in the best way. My school time is pretty rough, who am I kidding, I have the best schedule, but I am still the master of procrastination. Now I feel that taking on other ventures during school will hopefully cure me of my ways…hopefully. I started as a french horn player in elementary school. Now, I have a bunch of different activities including modeling, singing, eating, acting, archaeology, and eating again. My favorite one trying out healthy and dairy-free recipes at home, even though it’s definitely not the most lucrative! I do what I love and love what I do. Sometimes I feel like I take on too much at once. It’s not always idle being me. I recently traveled to London, England and Hamburg, Germany for modeling. Traveling for modeling is one of the most bizarre and crazy-amazing experiences. My favorite and most memorable time was meeting CLEM, finding the best peanut butter spring roll sauce, picking out all the Frenchies in London and laughing uncontrollably at my lack of alcohol tolerance. I will never forget that! As a model, my career started with trying to apply as an intern with my mother agency. My dream was to convince myself that the fashion industry was flawed and that I shouldn’t fall in love with it, but I guess that didn’t really work out. Modeling taught me that your body is your business (thanks Dayna!) as well as to truly be your weird self with people, because nobody likes to work with a mannequin. If this hadn’t chosen me, I would finish my honours degree in anthropology (which is still the plan) and eventually work the fields of archaeology. I have absolutely no desire to do this any other way but crazy. This industry is breathtaking, and I believe it will continue to grow (into all shapes and sizes!). I met @BonjourClem for the first time at a London casting, and I knew I had no chance with those Angelina Jolie lips of hers. I instantly thought she was classically French and intimidating. Then, later on I thought I could totally have a non-lesbian crush on her, she makes me pee from laughing so hard. I really feel so privileged and slightly shocked about being interviewed for @BonjourClem.com. This interview is really innovative and so much easier to write than I thought (phew) and I totally luvvv this!
