How can you not LOVE your Curves?!

I came across an article on 2010 London's Fashion Week on dailymail.co.uk about a couple stylists who quit working with an knitwear designer Mark Fast because he wanted to use fuller sized (or plus sized) models to showcase his design!   He had to scramble to get his show off and running and present his fashion on the runway, thank heavens he did! In the end, he did do as he wanted, using at least two curvier size 12-14 models to showcase his designs.  While I have nothing against women who are thinner, and leaner.  I love any woman of any size that looks beautiful and confident!  When I saw the photographs of the women who wore the designs, to me, the women who looked the best in his designs had more "meat on her bones", to coin a phrase!

Here are the women he used to showcase his designs who are considered plus sized in the fashion industry:




Compared to the models who are the "ideal" conventional fashion weight used by almost all designers - and who walked the runway too:

A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
