Men Are Plus Sized Too

Yes, they are!  We know it, they know it!  And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!  Some women like a guy with a little more to him than some!  Hey, it works both ways wouldn't you agree?!  What I don't hear or seen mentioned often though are Plus Sized Men and especially nothing about Plus Sized Men's Fashion...until now curvy divas!

Larger sized men are not even referred to as "Plus Sized" That's reserved for us women!  Men are called "Big and Tall"!   I read with interest an article in the New York Times recently about fashion for the more portly men!  According to the New York Times, men who want fashionable plus sized clothing turn to GQ or to valetmag.com for their style inspiration!  There's also another plus sized website for men, chubstr.com which was founded by Bruce Sturgell in 2011.  Mr. Sturgell started the website much the same way that many websites for plus sized divas were started, because there were none, or hardly any around!  His clients are usually the men, or the women who shop for their men! He offers a lot of insights, interviews and resources!  I even see some plus size divas mentioned!





On Valetmag's website style and fashion abounds!

Under their "Edit" tab they have a "Morning Report" all about style!

You know what I say to that curvy divas?  FABULOUS!  Whether the fashion world wants to admit it or not, it's great to be fabulous, beefy, and curvy!  We have needs and our needs are being met by like-minded fashion-savvy & fashionistas, male and female out there!

Go to the websites I listed above, take a look around, and see what they have to offer for the guy in your life! You can go to the link below to read the New York Times article!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. 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...
