Full Figure Plus Turns 5!
Posted on November 14, 2009 by Glen Johnson
Pardon the dust folks. Full Figure Plus is in the middle of a makeover to celebrate five years of plus-size blogging. For those who are new to FFP it began as a humble blog on blogger.com November 14, 2004 with the simple goal of providing shopping links to other plus-size women and to help my plus-size bride to find comfortable affordable bras.
Fast forward to today and Full Figure Plus has gone through many changes in look but the core message has remained the same. Looking to the Internet to find stores that have the best in plus-size fashion. This Summer a chance to go to Full Figured Fashion Week gave me the opportunity to meet many of my fellow bloggers like Marie Denee the Curvy Fashionista and Belle Noir founder Aja Stubbs and caused me to pause and realize that Full Figure Plus is not about me and how the blog looks it is about you the reader and giving you the best information inthe most timely manner possible. Other things that have shaped the evolution of this blog is the sudden interest in modeling which lead to the birth of th plus-size beauty of the week.
On to the goodies. One new feature that is a part of the new Full Figure Plus is the new logo! I am excited about this becasue I have been needing to brand this blog for far to long. So tell me what you think. Second, as you can see there is a featured post section which contains five randomly selected posts from five years worth of content. The plus-size beauty of the week remains as well as the sponsors. Be sure to check out all of the merchants they are listed for your browsing pleasure.
Upcoming on Monday the current beauty of the week will be listed along with the photos of the ladies featured for the last three weeks for you to vote on to recieve a dress from IGIGI or a discount off their next purchase at IGIGI.com. The rest will remain the same bringing you the best I can find in everything plus-size. Since I am not one who gets all sentimental I will not even try to name everyone who has helped me out over the years to make FFP what it is today. Those that have helped out you know who you are. Wait their is one person I would like to thank and that is my wife Twanna. Without her support their is no way I would have been able to start let alone maintain a blog and a business many still do not understand and I have been doing the same thing for five years and plan to do it as long as Iam mentally able.
Thank you to all the readers, supporters, advertisers, lurkers and everyone else! Here is to many more years of bringing all thing plus-size to the light!

Glen, well done sir.
We are glad to see blogs like your continue to strive and develop over time. ‘Body confidence’ is what we are trying to bring forward and along with blogs like fullfigureplus, the confidence and size acceptance of natural beauties is that much stronger. The logo is great, the site looks great and most importantly you ideas and content is fantastic. Keep up the great work.
