Star in a Bra interview: Nadine Kennedy

The Star in a Bra 2010 competition is just 17 days away, and everyone here at Brastop.com is getting very excited about it.

Star in a Bra is the chance for curvy girls to make their mark on the lingerie scene by becoming a Brastop model for a year. Last year's competition was overwhelming, with coverage across the country on TV, newspapers and online - and we expect this year's competition to be even bigger.

In the build-up to 1 April, we thought it would be good to go back and revisit the entrants who came in first, second and third in last year's competition - starting with the fabulous Nadine Kennedy from Shotts in Scotland.

Name: Nadine Kennedy
Age: 26
Height: 5ft 10in
Vital stats: 34G bra, waist 32" and hips 38".
Dress size: 16

Brastop: Remind us how you got involved in Star in a Bra - what made you decide to post some pictures for the competition?
Nadine: I've been using Brastop for a few years now, I saw the competition in 2008 and thought it was a great idea, there were so many beautiful girls who entered. When the competition was being advertised again last year my partner David persuaded me to give it a go. We took some photos of me and sent them in. It was just a laugh at the time, I never told anyone else because I didn't think I would get very far in the competition, never mind third place!

Brastop: It's been almost a year since the 2009 Star in A Bra competition started, how has it been for you this past year being a lingerie model?
Nadine: The past year has been great, working in your underwear is the best. I have done some modelling for Brastop since the competition and I've enjoyed every minute of it. It's all been very surreal.

Brastop: Has it given you a taste for modelling - do you think you would like to model full-time?
Nadine: I would jump at the chance to model full-time, I just don't know if there is a huge market out there for curvy models. I think it is commendable that Brastop use curvy models on their website, and by doing this your average sized woman is able to see exactly what the bra looks like, and how it fits on an normal size person instead of the usual razor thin models used by most companies.

Brastop: How have your friends and family been about you entering the competition?
Nadine: My friends and family have been great, they are very supportive and proud of me. Although it has to be said that didn't stop them from taking the mick.

Brastop: Have you been recognised in public yet?
Nadine: Not yet, but if it does happen it'll probably be one of the most bizarre things to ever happen to me. It would be very weird.

Brastop: What's it like on the photoshoots? Do you find it nerve-wracking, or do you just go with the flow?
Nadine: I'm always nervous (and when I say "nervous" I mean terrified) to start with, but the people I'm working with are brilliant and soon put me at my ease. I just try to enjoy the whole experience, it's not every day I get to go to work and model underwear.

Brastop: Of all the photos taken so far, which one do you feel captures you the best?
Nadine: The Curvy Kate Portia Teal set that I was photographed in last year for the competition, and also the Ballet Eternal Support Body (Black), which is on the website now, are my favorite photos.

Brastop: What set has been your favourite to model so far and what brand has made it to the top of your favourites list?
Nadine: The Curvy Kate Showgirl set is one of my favorites because it was such a good fit, very supportive and comfortable. Also I recently modelled the Ballet Eternal Support and Bustier Basque range, I was very impressed with the shape it gives you and how it can make you look and feel very sexy. My favorite brands are Masquerade, Panache, Freya, Curvy Kate, Ballet and Gossard.

Brastop: What advice do you have for any girls considering entering the competition this year?
Nadine: Expect to be nervous but please don't hesitate to enter, just go for it! You will have a fantastic experience and you never know where it could lead to. Best of luck everyone!!
