* Your Hair. It is important to keep hair healthy looking, meaning a good cut and a style that is current and classy, not too trendy. Remember they need to be able to work with your hair. Interview time is not the time to try out a new colour, they hired you based on the photos you sent in not on the new redhead you want to become.
* Your Body. Agents are expecting plus girls to look healthy, curvy, and toned. They key word is toned, not skinny. Be sure to look your best. If you wax, do it at least 3 days prior, in case of breakout. If you shave, do it the night before. Keep nails shorter and with a nude polish or french manicure, and be sure to do your toe nails as well. Have a professional manicure and pedicure, you've got this far, you may as well spend a few extra dollars to make sure you look great. Water, water, water, drink plenty of it, for at least a week before the interview. Proper hydration will keep the skin free from blemishes, and keep you from appearing bloated.
* Your Face. To ensure glowing, healthy looking skin, follow a solid skincare regime, and as stated above, drink plenty of water. To the interview, wear make-up that is neutral, and flattering to your best features. Don't go for dark, heavy colours, agents can recognize great features without the need for make-up. Don't use a self tanner or go for any extreme tanning sprays before an interview, and be sure to avoid tanning beds at all costs. They cause pre-mature aging!
* Your Style. Wear clothes that are stylish, flattering, and have simple lines and with simple colours. Don't wear anything too busy, too trendy, or over the top. Remember dress with class and style, this is a professional trade with a ton of competition.
* Your Diet. Eat, and eat food that is nourishing for your body. Do not follow extreme diets, or starve yourself. If you struggle with nutrition, or don't know what you should be eating to look your best, seek out the advice of a professional. Remember, good nutrition shows in your skin, hair, and nails. So to look your best, eat foods that are high in vitamins and antioxidants, avoid too many sweets and processed foods, and drink water, water, water.
* Your Mind. Make sure you have realistic goals. Do you fit the criteria of a plus model? Ask, yourself this question, and be sure you want to model for the right reasons. If you are entering the field of modelling to prove to yourself or the world that you are pretty, or for acceptance, you're in it for the wrong reasons. That should be something you already have. Modelling should be done because you feel you have something to give to the industry. Having a positive and self loving mindset is important during the interview process. Agents don't want to deal with individuals who are completely self absorbed, negative, or unrealistic.
* Ask Questions. If you don't know anything about the industry, ask the agent to run through it with you. They are there to help you succeed, and in turn they succeed, so don't be afraid to ask anything that is of concern to you. Most important, don't lie to your agent about your weight, size, measurements, or anything else. This will only hurt your credibility, and your future.
* Sleep. Make sure you get enough sleep, so you can be energetic and alert for your interview.
