Star in a Bra Australia top twenty: Mindy Reading
Written by Cheryl on Aug 7, 2012Are you ready for more curve-loving action? Don’t worry, we still have a generous handful of gorgeous girls just dying to share their stories with you.
Next in line is gorgeous Mindy Reading.
Hello lovely lady, could you tell us a bit more about you?
I am a 2nd year Nursing Student at the University of Canberra, when I finish my Nursing degree I hope to then continue on and do Midwifery. I’ve always had a place for people in my life, I come from a large family with 4 older siblings and 14 nieces and nephews! So I’ve always enjoyed big events, birthdays, Christmas etc. This is also where my love for people came from, I hope when I finish my degree and get some experience up my sleeve to travel overseas and put my skills to good use with people who really need it.
What a kind-hearted girl you are! We love when our finalists have beauty and brains. Why did you enter the competition?
When I saw Julia win last year I was so happy that there was something out there that helped support a positive body image as well as supply well fitting bras to women who really needed it. I really wanted to enter that year but at the time I did not feel as though I could do it. Being very overweight my self esteem was at an all time low, I think it was this competition that really kicked off my weightloss journey. I remember talking to my mum about entering but never did, I said what I said about everything “i’ll do it next time, after I’ve lost a little weight”. Well, this time Star in a Bra came round and I had lost 30kgs, I’d gone from a size 18-20 (in bottoms) to a 14. I didnt have an excuse! Believe me, I’m no skinny mini, I still eat cake! I talked with my a few family members some said I shouldn’t do it, others told me to do it! With that I decided that I’d enter and if I didnt make it everyone would be none the wiser! and then I made Top 20! so there is a grand prize right there! I felt that I needed to enter this competition to share with Australia what Curvy Kate had done for me and many girls around the world!
Congratulations on your weight loss, you look fabulous! Why do you think people should vote for you?
Every girl who made the Top 20 and even the girls that didn’t make Top 20 deserve to win! I feel as though if you are wearing Curvy Kate and you feel absolutly gorgeous while wearing it then you are a Star in a Bra! I would LOVE to win Star in a Bra, I would LOVE to get peoples votes so I could continue to share Curvy Kate with Australia and the world.
