We are in incredible times ... the Presidential Election is coming up in just a few days and this is an exciting time for our nation. The future of our nation is in all of our hands and I urge everyone to please vote.  PLEASE... Let your voice be heard by voting on November 4th.

When I was putting this issue together I had no idea that the economy would be in the state it's in but I felt that I wanted to bring a fun and "light" feel to the November issue. I'm so glad that I went with my gut instinct and brought two incredible models together for the cover and editorial. Friends and models Bernadett and Casey showcase this Fall's 'Must Have's' with fashions from Lane Bryant. Can models be friends? Absolutely!

We also bring you an incredible interview with plus model Monica who has been making great strides since she was chosen for our July Directory Editorial. This month Sharon Quinn brings you a very informative article on the "models bag". Models in all levels of their careers should have their models bag ready – you won't always have advance notice and its best to be prepared.

Don't miss Ask Mama – this month Chantelle sorts out sweater dresses, seasonal colors and talks about the hot must have coat!

Lastly I want to thank everyone on behalf of PLUS who sent in numerous emails and messages via Myspace in regards to our appearance on the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency Show. We are very proud to be a voice for the plus size modeling industry and we look forward to doing much more in the coming months.

Enjoy... and as always, keep thriving in your curves...
