Update & Fashionable Pause

As you know curvy divas, we were still in the process of finding a template that is the right fit for our vision.  Well, I could not resist trying out several looks this past weekend.  It is still a work in progress as we continue to work on this effort.  If you should log in and see a different look, or if links do not work, don't worry, we are all over it!




While we do that, there are several things to share with you curvy divas. First, the winner of the blog scavenger hunt is........ta da da da.....Janet from New York! Yes! Should you be reading this Janet, we will be in touch!  I do hope our blog scavenger hunt was fun for all.  If you haven't figure out the phrase, it is a quote from yours truly which you can find on our Fan Page, Fabulously Curvy Blog on Facebook in the "About" section.  You have to go see for yourself, especially if you haven't yet stopped by to see what we are up to in that neck of the woods! :)

Also, I've been busy trying my hands, or should that be my vocals...at creating a jingle for the blog.  It has been a lot of fun.  If you take a walk over to our Instagram one of the mini-movies designed via Photogrid has the very first jingle we created. 




Lastly, because things are a bit hectic at the moment we must take a short break, just a wee one, we will return with new articles later this week.  We will continue to tweak this new template and if it doesn't work, we will return to the previous look and begin the search until we find one to meet our needs.  Do catch up on other articles that you may have missed.  Did you read our three year anniversary article?  If not, you should!

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...
