Voting for Curvy Kate’s Star in a Bra final is coming to an end on April 4th so keep spreading the word and get your votes in soon. Today we are interviewing the lovely Paris O’Connell who is studying law in Sheffield – so we’re expecting 20,000 student votes!
Why did you enter Star in a Bra?
I entered Star in a Bra because i’m trying this new thing where I take every opportunity thats handed to me. Life is too short after all!
Is it hard finding attractive and supportive bras in a 36FF?
So hard! I often find ones I love and then they don’t fit, and then ones that do fit cost a small fortune. Bra shopping is such a chore! Small breasted women have it so easy!
What is your favourite bra?
Freya is a god send! Panache are also brilliant, and of course Curvy Kate!
Why should you win?
I think I should win Star in a Bra 2011 because I want to be the one who is able to show women everywhere that they should love their bodies no matter what shape they are. As someone who was very self conscious about the size of my chest for a very long time I think I could be a good role model to women who also need to get over this!
You have some professional looking headshots, have you done some modelling before?
Most of my professional shots are taken by my Dad, who runs his own photography business so they are used to promote his website and the packages he offers. I have been on a couple of other photoshoots, building portfolio pictures as modelling is something i’m very interested in getting into. But other than that and a few wedding shows helping out some friends, nothing like this!
If you’d like to vote for Paris and a nice pair (terrible pun but you need to vote for 3 in total) then go to www.starinabra.com. Be sure to spread the word with all your friends on your blogs, Twitter, Facebook so Paris can get more votes! You could even speak to people… as old fashioned as it sounds as long as they get online and vote.
Saucy Spaniard Astrid is a curvy HR admin, DJ and dancer (do tell?) who is standing for better representation of larger ladies in catalogues and the media – which after all is the job of this year’s Star in a Bra 2011 winner when the hype dies down.
Tell me a little about yourself
1. I am a London-based Spaniard, 31, an HR admin and dressmaker (and DJ and dancer). I decided to take part to show all curvy, real women out there that if I can, they can too
Have you ever had trouble buying bras?
In Spain it is nigh-impossible, even these days, *if* you manage to find a shop that will stock bras in a 32 J they’ll be extortionate. This is much better in the UK – not only are bras in my size readily available but you’re not made to feel like a freak when you go out shopping!
Are there particular brands you’ve found good for large cup bras?
Freya is my staple brand and of late I’m loving Curvy Kate’s Tease Me set. A real winner, that
Why should you win Star in a Bra 2011?
Because you don’t see women like me in fashion or lingerie catalogues and I think a departure from the bigger-chested-but-slim-waist young models would be a welcome change for many women
Aren’t you in a Proud and Curvy group with Sophia and Georgina?
There’s too many people (women particularly) that hate their bodies because of the portrayal of women in media and the idea that people will judge you by the way you look, so they live in fear of not looking the right or accepted way. We are happy, confident women that don’t pay any attention to those concerns and want to make other women feel that way too. I for one feel so much the better for having met them

Cuvilicious Georgina Horne has no need for push up bras, but she needs your support to win Star in a Bra 2011. Naturally curvy, she also has a fantastic bubbly personality and if she is as popular with the public as she is with the other competitors then she’s a hot favourite.
Why did you take part?
I took part because I am a bit fed up of buying bras a clothes modelled by slim women. Granted, a lot of ladies are slim with smaller boobs, and even slim with big boobs, but what about us plus sized naturally curvy women?! Where is our representation!? I want to be the representation! I am closer to the national average than a lot of models and I want to show how lingerie looks on a larger lady.
You sound pretty passionate, is it hard finding bras?
I found it difficult to fit in the stupid 38FF/40F/38F bras that *some* lingerie shops tried to put me into. Thank goodness Bravissimo realised I am a 36H/34HH-J (in Freya) and that they do sexy amazing bras! I HATE the high prices but still manage to have about 30 sets
Do you any bra buying advice for other curvy women?
I Love Freya – I couldn’t live without my 36GG Decos in purple, red, nude, black, milkshake, leopard, strapless!!! Haha! I wish they did my actual size but I can get away with that size. And I love Curvy Kate, naturally – I have 6 different Tease and Thrills and my bf is in AWE haha!!!
Why should you win Star in a Bra 2011?
I should win because Curvy Kate already has models who are size 8-12 ish, I want to be the one to represent plus size large knockered sexy ladies!!!
