Herpin Ingrid

Hello everyone, Who am I? My name is Ingrid Herpin, I live in southern Touraine, France. I am 47 years old. I have two sons, aged 20 and 8. I am self-employed, managing my horse boarding facility and two lovely little cottages. In terms of personality, I am rather cheerful, generous, and empathetic. However, I can be stubborn and tend to procrastinate. I am passionate about horses. I've been a rider since the age of 6. In fact, I have 9 horses at home. I enjoy rides and small hikes with them. I also love traveling immensely. One of my dreams is to travel around the world. I enjoy participating in beauty contests. I have held the titles of 1st runner-up Miss Curves Centre 2020, 1st runner-up Miss Curvy Centre 2022, Miss Ronde France Lady category 2023, and finally, I am MISS RONDE UNIVERSE 2024. To help plus-size women, I don't hesitate to post photos of myself in swimsuits on social media, as well as various photo shoots like boudoir shoots. I take these photos myself in my mini studio. It's a great way to show and prove that everyone has the right to take photos and walk the runway without fearing others' judgment. Why did I decide to run for Miss Top Curvy Universe? I am running for Miss Top Curvy Universe because I want to show all women that we are all beautiful in all our forms, that there are no models to follow, and that we should accept ourselves as we are. I want to help fight against fatphobia. To conclude: Today, I embrace my body, even though it took me a long time. I spent a lot of time worrying about people's opinions, trying diets, but that's all in the past. Now I embrace life to the fullest. Life is beautiful, and we can't expect others to love us if we don't love ourselves. So let's love ourselves and enjoy life.
