Plus-Sized Model Tiffany Bank Shakes Up NYC in TLC's 'BIG SEXY'

Online, August 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Fierce and full figured, model, actress, host and writer/producer Tiffany Bank gives viewers a glimpse into her life in TLC's newest three-part series, BIG SEXY, premiering Tuesday, August 30 at 10:00 PM (ET/PT). Passionate about breaking the stigmas associated with the modeling industry, Tiffany, a size 18, is part of an elite class of working models. "Size 18 models are few and far in between, I'm elated that I'm able to show that I have something more to offer...pun intended," says Tiffany who has modeled for brand names such as Elie Tahari, DKNY, Ashley Stewart, Lane Bryant, Macy's, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales and has appeared in Obvious Magazine, Igigi.com, All You Magazine, Newsweek.com, TV Guide, WE Television, The Tyra Banks Show, and Sex and the City 2.

Each episode of BIG SEXY follows Tiffany and four other women as they find that fine balance between their personal and business lives. Tiffany, currently a regular contributing writer for PLUS Model Magazine, gets a host of tweets and emails from women who want to see models larger than a size 16. "I'm glad BIG SEXY allows viewers to see five strong curvaceous women make things happen in this under represented world of fashion," she asserts. Watch Tiffany book modeling gigs, attend posh industry events and show the world that plus in plus-sized means you have more fun.
