"Gal" Friday! Denise Bidot

Denise Bidot is a Plus Size Model, originally from Miami, Fl. She is half Puerto Rican and half Kuwaiti, giving her a very unique look.

After moving to the west coast at age eighteen, and unsuccessful efforts to break into show business, Denise enrolled in makeup school and while working in that capacity for a segment of the Tyra Banks Show about self image, Denise met a Plus Size Model who asked if she would do makeup for an upcoming photoshoot she had. Eager to work, Denise accepted and it was there that she met the photographer who would change her life. That photographer was Sita Mae Edwards, who was very well known in the plus modeling community. Sita asked if Denise had ever considered plus modeling. Up until that point, it was one of the only things that she hadn't attempted.

Denise agreed to do a test shoot with Sita, figuring she had nothing to loose. Unknown to Denise, the photographer posted the images from the shoot on a well known bulletin board and they generated a huge response. Within no time, Denise was approached by clients asking her to model for their lines, and soon after Brand Model and Talent signed Denise. She has fronted campaigns for Kohl's, Forever 21+, Torrid, Leg Avenue, Kiyonna, Intimate Attitudes, Hips and Curves and graced the pages of magazines like Glamour and Plus Model Magazine. You will be seeing much more from this young lady.
