Many Would Enter Petite Model Search

Last month, we asked you: Bella Petite Magazine is looking for models 5'5" or shorter for their publication. Will you enter?

42% said that they'd enter, since it would give some attention to non-celeb petites

7% said that they might, but would need to think about it first

14% said that they wouldn't, since they aren't "modelling" types

7% wondered what kind of clothing these ladies would model (ummm, PETITE SIZED CLOTHING, SILLY!!!! What else would they be modelling?)

21% had no idea what Bella Petite magazine was.

Bella Petite Magazine Model Search!

Ann Lauren's Bella Petite Magazine, a lifestyle and fashion publication which targets women 5'5" or shorter is currently holding a petite model search for women under said height. Yes, you read correctly. Unlike the recent cycle of America's Next Top Model, Bella Petite is looking for truly petite women. There will be no "fake" petites (i.e. 5'6" and 5'7") for this magazine. After all, lying is bad, right?

Bella Petite believes that since media have paid a great deal of attention to "curvier" women as of late, why not shorter women? Featuring only designers who focus on petites, have petite lines and/or are petite friendly, the publication surely will change the way the media, fashion industry and even the general public view the shorter woman. So finally, there will be a magazine for petite women, feturing petite women.

The search is open to women all over the world under 5'5" and over the age of 16 (no upper limit in age, though girls under 18 will require a parent or guardian's signature on a release form should they be chosen). The deadline to enter is February 28, 2010. For more information about this, please visit Bella Petite Magazine.

Cute is a Dirty Word!

Bella Petite Magazine has an article about the word "cute." Do you like being called cute? Why or why not? Do you think it's demeaning to petite women?
