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. Do, 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 is the biggest obstacle you've had to face in this industry?

A. Biggest obstacle for me is making sure Plus Size Models are given the Respect we Deserve. Beauty comes in all sizes and we should be on Covers of Magazines and in Swimsuit issues also.

Q. Being apart of the Models of the Carolinas, what attributes or skills do you bring to the group/ And, also what would you say is your purpose for creating this platform?

A. I want women to see the Beauty, Confidence and Determination we represent. I hope that inspires them to fulfill their dreams. And not to allow anyone or anything to stop them from achieving their goals. When one door closes, another one opens. Stay Positive.

Q. What would you tell a little boy or girl just like you that maybe has dreams of following in your footsteps so to speak?

A. First they have to have confidence in themselves. They have to have thick skin in this industry...be able to accept rejection and move forward. Always stay Motivated.

Q. Is it hard to maintain a relationship being a model?

A. I think a successful relationship is possible with a Partner who supports your career 100%. They cant allow the industry to intimidate them and realize this is work for us.

Q. What’s the future for Models of the Carolinas?

A. We have something big in the works. It's Truly a Blessing. Continue to follow us for updates!
