10 Shoes Priced Under $100

When it comes to shoes do you trade comfort for cuteness?  I know among some I should be hung by my toes for even mentioning comfort over look, but when it comes to shoes spending a few more dollars to get a quality shoe you will keep for years will trump “cute only” every time.

We talked about style on the posts How to become one with your plus-size style and I found my personal style now what? The now what is dealing with the shoes to go with your look.  Below are several shoes that may not be the hottest on the block this Fall but they are affordable and best of all your feet, knees, back, and wallet will thank you.

I Need A New Design

One thing that has not changed in the years that I have been writing this blog is that I know just enough about html to mess things up. That is the reason that I have put FFP into the “I Need A New Design” Contest. Basically, it is a way to have your blog be the considered the “worst” so that you can win a new design.

Most long time readers remember the debacle that FFP just went through with the old design showing up and making everything look horrible. That is what gave me the idea and the reason for the cool banner that you see to the right of this post.

If you guys could do me the favor of clicking on the banner and voting for me I would be forever in your debt and will reward you guys with more quality plus size related posts and even a few contests for 2009. Thanks in advance.

Should States Regulate Employee Weight?

Recently the state of Alabama passed legislation that employees have until 2010 to get control of thier waistlines or lose the free health insurance.  Everytime I hear stories like this I am torn between being upset and indifferent.  On one side I say if I work for you then what I do with my size is none of your business.  On the other side since nothing is free if part of the conditions for getting a service at no cost is maintaining a certain weight and be free of health problems then either I do it or pay the fee.

Alabama is giving its employees roughly a year to start getting in shape or state employees will be charged $25 a month for insurance that would otherwise be free. The plan was approved recently by the State Employees’ Insurance Board.
