Photos submitted by the Photo Prize Winner for August/September 08
"In my opinon this is the worst fit. The shirt is obviously too small and is showing her love handles and back rolls."
—Chenese Lewis, judge
"This top is way too short even though it seems to fit okay on top near the shoulders and arms. The empire line is too high and looks uncomfortable and those slits on the side should be way below the waist and not showing them!"
—Christina Kwon, judge
Photos of the winner wearing new Misspit tops
Here's Kimberly made over in Missphit's Tunic Chic and Zig-Zag Tunic. She looks much more comfortable now and definitely ready for that photo shoot!

We spent some time getting to know Kimberly a little better so read our short interview to find out what she had to say:

Do you have aspirations to become a model? If so, what or who inspired you to want to pursue this?
I do have aspirations of becoming a model. For as long as I can remember, I have always loved to be in front of the camera. There are big disparities in the representation of the "average sized woman" in the media. Seeing how the plus size model has taken her place in the industry has really inspired me to be a part of the movement.
What are some activities you enjoy (besides shopping for the latest trends!)?
Spending time with family, friends and sorority sisters. I also enjoy fishing, catching crabs, singing, scrapbooking and painting crafts.
Who or what inspires you in life?
My parents and my faith keep me inspired to always put my best foot forward.
Describe your fashion style. What colors do you wear most?
"Subtly Sexy" best describes my fashion style. I never reveal too much, and I show just enough. The colors I wear most are yellow, pink, green, black, and red.
Who's your fashion icon?
Tyra Banks

Thanks for your time, Kimberly! Enjoy your new Missphit tops!
