Plus Size Vintage Blow Out Sale at Re/Dress NYC
If you have not been to Re/Dress NYC yet or are new to the scene and have not hear of this cool vintage store for plus sizes then you must attend their 1st VINTAGE BLOW OUT SALE on Saturday July 18th. Unfortunately I didn’t get to spend a lot of time in the shop when I was in town for Full Figured Fashion Week but what time I was there I can tell you that this sale is just the thing for any curvy diva looking to spice up her wardrobe.
Full Figured Fashion Week Featured Designers
When it comes to the designers featured during last weeks runway show I must say that I was amazed at the creativity and passion poured into every garment. The fit on the ladies was perfect in every way. It would not only be impossible but unfair to say which designer was my favorite. All I can say is they opened my eyes up to the possibilities of plus size fashion on a couture level as well as everyday wear meaning there are definitely options out there for curvy women REGARDLESS of size.
Critics of Full Figured Fashion Week Completely Missed The Point
I was in the middle of writing a post to show off the fabulous fashions featured at Full Figured Fashion Week, but I find myself addressing a troublesome issue that has popped up. Honestly, I am somewhat surprised by the critics of Full Figured Fashion Week coming from within the plus size community. If some who is smaller spewed the same fat this or obese that then I would have brushed it off and carried on. But to hear similar biting words from within is quite frankly unacceptable.
Plus Size Business Tele-Summit: Plus Size Blogging
If you missed it last night I had the pleasure and privilege of being involved in the 1st ever Plus Size Business Tele-Summit. The goal of the telesummit is to give those looking to start a business in the plus size industry some insight into what it takes to transform a full time hobby into a serious business.
My part in the series that will spread out over the next month was to explain some of the ins and outs of being a full-time or professional blogger. Topics included the look and feel of a blog, free versus paid web hosting, overall commitment to your blog, traffic, and voice.
Plus Size Beauty of the Week: Summer 2009 Update
Over the past couple of weeks and definitely leading up to Full Figured Fashion Week submission for the Plus Size Beauty of the Week have come from models that already have industry experience and are actually looking for work. As much as I would like to be a modeling agency I am not. The purpose of the beauty of the week is to celebrate curvy women regardless as to the level of modeling experience they have.
Full Figured Fashion Week Recap
Trying to condense all of the historical events of the last four days of the first ever Full Figured Fashion Week would be impossible, therefore I am not going to try. I will talk about each of the individual events that I was a part of in separate posts meaning you will have to say tuned for that. What I can say though being a gentleman from the South as I was called on a few occasions I witnessed the largest collection of sexy, voluptuous, curvy, confident, gorgeous women ever in the history of curvy fashion. The workshops and a runway show represented the curvy community in an unprecedented way creating a ripple affect large enough to be felt for many years beyond this past weekend!
