In response to the skinny model debate, D'Amour says,"The general reason one gets as to why there is not more representation of curvier folks within modern media is that inclusion would be equivalent to acceptance, and acceptance would then equal condoning, which would mean they support alleged ill health. The odd dichotomy is that whilst people like myself are banned due to the purported notion we will somehow 'promote' being unhealthy, we are besieged with media saturated with imagery of Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, Kate Moss and Lindsay Lohan. How these women represent good health is somewhat beyond me." http://jezebel.com/5013129/velvet-damour-part-deux

At the time of her 2006 runway appearances, D'Amour stood 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighed approximately 300 pounds. Her primary occupation is as a fashion photographer.
