In Support of Peace - Viva Frances

I had no idea what happened last Friday until I got home.  Being inside at work all day, with only an hour rushing out to grab a bite and walking around leaves one in a cocoon of sorts with only immediate "stuff" on the mind.
I was shocked, frightened, angry and sad all at the same time.  I have readership from this great country and love to see my Stats showing this. Even as I write this, I have a few who are still stopping by to read with me.

Not only that, but on a personal note, one of my very best and dearest sister friend is French and I cannot express how awful this is for her, as it is for the entire world, and everyone.
I wanted to write this not just because I have a French readership, or my BFF who is French.  It pains me to know that this is happening in our society on a human level.  Other countries have been affected as well.  These tragedies devastate lives, and affects all of us.  Let's pray for peace, and continue to send our love and support to those who need it.

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...

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...
