Hello, my name is Cindy. I am 5'9", 290lbs and my measurements are 58-46-58. I am a single mom with a beautiful 12 year old daughter who is my pride & joy. I work for the government and I am a certified nurses aide. I have two home based businesses: crafts & photo reproduction. For the past five years I have been a Girl Scout leader & involved with many community service projects. I am a published poet and a graduate of Barbizon Modeling Academy in Manhattan. I enjoy performing backround vocals for a local rap group that sings the praises of plus size females. In my spare time I enjoy travel, fishing, comedy and playing scrabble. I have enjoyed reading Dimensions for many years and I would be honored to be part of such a positive magazine. It is refreshing to know that there is such a forum for plus size females(and males) to express their thoughts and opinions. I would like to thank everyone at Dimensions for giving me this opportunity to show the world that you can have a wonderful, fullfilling life and acheive anything you set your mind to, no matter what size you are. Peace & Love to all. Cindy K
