After reaching out to Kimberley Dolson, I received an invite to Curve Nation's Kickoff Welcome Reception this Friday, July 11th! Of course I jumped at the opportunity.  This happening event is being lauded as Curve Nation's first Annual Plus Size Expohosted by plus model and star of Curvy Girls on NUVOtv, the fabulous Rosie Mercado.

Why did I say exponential?  Well, just look at the planned activitieswho will be making appearances and what they will be sharing with attendees to the conference and expo!  

Lifetime’s Double Divas, Molly Hopkins and Cynthia Decker of LiviRae Lingeriewill speak about breast health and how to fit our undergarments, yes, those bras can be a handful (pun intended)!  

Kelly Glover, media personality and blogger of BigCurvyLove.com and creator of the project 50 Fat Dateswill share about sex, dating and the plus size woman.

You will be able to shop, attend a pool party, a fashion show, and have a massage for your tired, but happy feet.  There will be experts on hand to offer health assessments as well, kind of like a one-stop bee-hive of activities geared to all of us!

On Saturday night, get your party on by attending Curve Nation’s Curves in Paradise Party, and a meet and greet with Rosie Mercado; CEO and Founder of Full Figured Fashion Week, Gwen DeVoe, whom I've had the pleasure of "interviewing" (by email) for an article write up I did earlier this year, will also be launching the next phase of her career at this event. This is the last year DeVoe will be presenting Full Figured Fashion Week in New York - (angels out there, I want to be at this event).  At the Expo, she will be speaking on personal branding and discussing what she has learned touring the country scouting models for Full Figured Fashion Week.  DeVoe will also be filming the first episode of her new talk show, Mogul Moments.

It is wonderful to note that Curve Nation has partnered with Dress for Success of Greater Orlando, who has a major need for work appropriate suits and separates for women sizes 14 and overA silent auction will be held and donations are being accepted. All proceeds will go to the charity.

So hop on the bandwagon curvy divas & gents who love us, check out the registration for the Expo includes swag bag with samples and other items provided by sponsors and vendors, among other things!

Think of the connections you can and will make when you attend the Curve Nation Plus Size Community Expo.  It's a great way to learn more about our plus-size community! So, tell me, is that exponential or what?!!!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

30 Coats: One for every day of the cold season

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
