Q. Wassup, it's your boy Darren Southern Plug Brown for Southern Plug Magazines doing this Models of the Carolinas’ takeover sponsored by Dyamond Huntaz, here with the super graceful and talented savage the model of Models of the Carolinas. Tell our readers that may not be familiar with you or your work just who you are and what it is that you do? A. My name is Pamela Saunders. I'm originally from Washington DC, I currently reside in Indian Land SC. I am a Customer Service Agent during the week and a Master Barber Stylist on the weekend. I am a Mother of 2 young men, ages 25 and 30. I also have 8 Beautiful Grandkids, whom I Love Dearly. When I'm not working, I can be found Ripping the Runway! I have been Modeling for 5 years now and it's definitely my Dominating Passion. Q. What inspired you to become a model? A. I've always enjoyed being in front of the camera. Being a Hairstylist I've done numerous photo shoots and hair shows. So, why not add clothing! It also give me the opportunity to showcase my own Clothing Line, SAVAGE DESIGNS on the Runway. Q. Being a model, what are the important tools that you learned through your experience in the industry? A. I have learned that the industry can be very biased when it comes to Plus Size Models. As a Curvy, Plus Model I have to work harder than the average model. Plus size is still being frowned upon, and not seen as equal. We have to work extra hard to prove our worth and are constantly overlooked for work. Q. Does Models of the Carolinas, have a manager? Or how do you all navigate through making decisions as far as setting goals for Models of the Carolinas as a group? A. We do not have a manager. I don't feel we need one. We are a Sisterhood. Very rarely do we disagree on a decision for the group. We all want to see the group get the exposure we deserve and we are willing to go above and beyond to see that happen. Q. What are your biggest accomplishments and influences? A. My biggest Accomplishment was being featured on a Billboard for Curvy, Plus Size Models in Charlotte NC. I am also proud of a book I was featured in for Curvy Models that was Dedicated to the memory of Mrs.Rhonda Baker. I have also done 2 Music Videos and been published in over 20 Magazines. I am also a Brand Ambassador for Dyamund Huntaz and Scorpionna's. I am Honored to have these accomplishments and look forward to many more to come.
