Favorite School Memory	There were way too many good ones to narrow it down to one....hmmm...Holding hands with Fred Clark Jr. as he walked me to my music class.....and of course...performing.
About Me	Statuesque, poised, graceful, striking...all of those adjectives aptly describe attributes belonging to Miss Sharon Quinn, affectionately known as the Original Runway Diva, due to her presence, style and unbelievable confidence on the catwalk. The 6 foot tall, shaved head beauty is most recently recognized from her appearances on all three seasons of the Oxygen Network's popular "MoNique's F.A.T. Chance", on which she was runner-up on the first show (owing in large part to her memorable perfect 10 score during the lingerie segment, which left both men and women speechless), "Den Mother" to the contestants on the second installment and Casting Producer/Special Choreographer on the recent third season, which was filmed in the couture capital of Paris. The groundbreaking show, which caught the attention of millions of viewers, was the first nationally televised plus-sized beauty competition. Sharon graced television screens again in late 2007/early 2008 with her appearances on MTV's Emmy Award winning series, "MADE", as "Made Coach", assisting a young lady in her difficult quest to become a model. Sharon's episode of Made was not only the most-watched of that series, it also garnered a 2008 Daytime Emmy award! The busy, in-demand Miss Quinn began her career on the local circuit as a plus-sized runway model in the 80's, when plus sizes were a rarity in fashion shows. In 1995, she signed on with the legendary Wilhelmina Model Agency in New York City and began a long and successful career with a client list that included The Avenue, Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, Bloomingdales and Nordstroms. She became a familiar face on television as well as in print, starring in national television commercials for Weight Watchers and Just My Size and frequently modeling on ABC-TV's acclaimed morning show, "The View". Most recently, she graced the runway on "Entertainment Tonight" for Queen Latifah's new clothing line, Curvations, and on BET's "Rip The Runway". In March 2010 she returned to television with a guest appearance on the Style Network's hit series "Ruby" as a runway coach to a group of teenage pageant contestants. She most recently served as Casting Director for the hugely successful Full Figured Fashion Week(tm) 2010, rec...(read more)
