Curvy events: Get your Curve On - Curve Nation Welcome Reception

This blogger had the pleasure of attending Curve Nation's Welcome Reception, day 1 of their fashion weekendheld at the International Palms Resort.  When I walked into the hotel conference center this evening (Friday, June 11th) I was greeted by a bevy of very beautiful women.

The look, the cut, Miss Pinky's got it!



The atmosphere was one of expectation and fun, fun, fun curvy divas!  I was impressed with the selection of merchandise the Artisans who will be at the EXPO tomorrow (Saturday, July 12th) has to offer.  Quite a few of these entrepreneurs make their own stuff!  From natural, organic soaps by Two Sisters Soaps & Sundries, to clothing and jewelry by Lipstick Killer Collection & Beyond the Curves Boutique.

Yes, our curvy bodies can fit these curvy styles, exactly what Beyond the Curves Boutique had in mind for us with the clothing they sell! 

There was also a plethora of make up and skin care mavens whose natural & cruelty free products promises to enhance our skin.  Anti-aging skin care by M3K beauty, Kim Johnston created this line after getting fed up with the products being offered for women that did nothing much in making her feel and look better.  M3K beauty is also a co-sponsor of this event. 

Younique Products, a no cruelty, naturally free makeup and skin care line; Brushes of Beauty by Angelia StevensonJay Jill Cosmetics has products geared for everyone and particularly for African American skin.

Other make up consultants and lines I had the pleasure of meeting:
Willen Buchholz and Karolyn Hughs, Independent Beauty Consultants from Mary Kay


Jessie from Black Sheep Cosmetics

Pure Romance by Ebony Johnson



KKJewels



Love the name of this boutique!

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.

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...
