Plus Size Fashion Shopping Tips

One of the things that I talk about often with my plus size beauty of a wife is the fit of clothes.  As usual it served as inspiration for this post about making a plus size or big and tall body look great no matter what.

1. Always wear clothes that fit. Know your size and have clothes altered if neccessary
2. Ladies wear a proper fitting bra.   Side Note: 80% of a bras support comes from the band and not the straps.
3. Wear colors that are complimentary of your skin tone.

I am not so naive that I don’t realize that retouching and body doubles are a part of the celebrity world. At least in years past when work had been done to a photo it was subtle and not done is such a way that everyone could tell that the picture had work done to it.

A few weeks ago there where a few blogs that spoke on the look that Jennifer Hudson has on the cover of her upcoming album. I had to agree that it was a bad Photoshop job but I remained quiet about it. What sent me over the edge was seeing the “nude” photos of Jill Scott in this months issue of Allure magazine.

Joy Nash of Fat Rant fame is at it again with Fat Rant 3: Staircase wit. What I liked most about this installment was the honest language and an appearance by plus size model Chenese Lewis. It was so funny when she walked to the bus stop and the fat haters spoke and her reply was “You may want to keep it down or people will realize what an asshole you are.”

Congratulations to Joy on a superb job again of taking size acceptance to the next level and looking good at the same time. I really love seeing stuff like this. Check out the video and leave your comments as to what you think.

Most of the fellas that I associate with are average in their preference for women. They prefer smaller women not to mention their definition of hips and curves are vastly different than mine. Years ago they used to tease me for my preference for bigger ladies, making comments like “you are just freaky” or “at least you have something soft to lay on.” When I tell ladies that I have dated how gorgeous they are they would not believe me. The most surprising of all is to hear how ladies view each other. Today’s topic basically comes down to why a man loves everything about a big woman and why women hate the same thing.

This Friday Trya Banks is going to shed some light on the issue of abuse or Fat-sploitation in different areas.  Most of the critics of fat people think that the whole “big is beautiful” movement is just exploitation of individuals that have low self esteem.  While I disagree that people like me that have blogs dedicated to larger men and women are using our audiences as punching bags for our own purposes I can slightly agree that some people are heavily involved in fat-sploitation making it very real.
