Kimmoy the Curvy Coach Creating a Strong Plus Size Image

Whether you are meeting a new friend, going on a date, or networking in a business setting, it's always in your best interest to put your best foot forward especially if you're plus-sized. This may not be an easy feat for the plus-sized business owner or even a plus-size business. It seems like we forget to tell our peers that you must have thick-skin as a plus-size business owner. It's not easy to admit it, but we judge a book by a cover all the time. In just a few nano-seconds, we make our ow… Continue

Kimmoy the Curvy Coach Lots of Plus Models, Not Enough Magazines?

I can probably count on one hand the number of magazines out there that cater specifically to the plus-size woman. Most of them are online and very few are available in print today. As a community, we’re celebrating the launch of Skorch Magazine which is currently the only digital & print magazine for the plus-size woman. We’ve all shouted a resounding “It’s about time!”, but I’ve always wondered, why is it only now that we have the first ever printed plus size fashion magazine? Older magaz… Continue

Kimmoy the Curvy Coach Taking Care of Self, Takes Care of Business

Don’t be alarmed, I’m not about to dish on how you need to lose weight or anything like that, that’s not what this article is about. I’ve come to notice that as we progress into a society where your business is all about developing a personal brand, the better you treat yourself, the better you treat your customers. And what that means is, more money in your pocket. I remember listening to an interview on Blog Talk Radio hosted by Blackcatplus.com where they featured Kelly Bliss. I was absolutel… Continue

Caseyfern To Name-Change or NOT To Name-Change

I need your opinion on something, please. A lot of folks here know me from Twitter, as @perfectlyshaped - but not a lot know me from my OLD Twitter account, Caseyfern. Fern was a nickname I got while I was doing game development on Legends of Karinth, which I just shut down in April 2009 after nearly a decade online. Casey has been my nickname since the early 1970s, acquired while working in an Seattle area office packed full of Marys. When someone would yell 'Hey, Mary!' a bunch of us would ge… Continue

Cheryl A Phillips Where did these hips come from?

I'm so glad I joined this site and I hope to visit more. Nice, normal women who don't make me feel like I should be having an acai berry pill every day instead of ice cream...well, that's more my style. In the past two years I've had three major surgeries on my knee and tibia after a car accident. Needless to say, my knee is quite sexy with the 7" scar decorating it. Not to mention the fact that standing too long gives me one very unshapely ankle. Wait, it's not really an ankle...it looks like… Continue

Kimmoy the Curvy Coach All Plus-Size People Are Not Created Equal

The way that plus-size people are being portrayed in the media speaks largely to what people really think about us as a community. They believe that we are depressed, we’re desperate for love, we don’t take care of ourselves, we wear muumuus, and the list goes on and on… However, if you were to attend events such as Full-Figured Fashion Week or Fuller Woman Expo, you will find beautiful, confident models, business women proudly strutting their curves and handling their business. So where is th… Continue

Caseyfern Bangkok's Plus Size Customers Gain a Resource with Suri by Surivipa

Today, however, let's look at how one woman has improved the plus size apparel situation for her home country of Thailand. Here's Surivipa Kultangwattana's story as featured in the Leisure > Women section of today's Bangkok Post: http://www.bangkokpost.com/leisure/women/2211Continue

Caseyfern Curvy.Confident.Chic Indeed! Marie Denee's The Curvy Fashionista garners great press at Softpedia

Take a gander at Softpedia's Life & Style Editor Elena Gorgan's write-up on The Curvy Fashionista soon to be launched by Perfect Social Club featured member Marie Denee - great press and a strong supportive statement for the cause. Not to crib, so I'll just quote: “While many retailers aContinue

Caseyfern Plus Size Bridesmaid Lament on CNN

I read and empathized, heartily, with this woman who feels marginalized by the fashion choices she's been able to find for plus size (or at least on the borderline of plus sizing) bridesmaid attire. Left a comment on our behalf, then read the comments. So many expressing upset, so much bitterness. And some comments that one would think that human decency and respect would prevent from being written on a public forum. I won't quote the comments here. But I welcome your comments in response to wh… Continue

Caseyfern Twitter'fied - Twitter Downtime Continues to Stifle Social Networking

Love it or hate it, Twitter has grown to impact many of our lives, from the way we make contact with friends and business partners to the way we get instant news pulses, 140 characters at a time. Some users check their Twitter pages for replies and DMs (Direct Messages) before they tackle their morning mail. Some even log in before their morning coffee stops perking (yep, that's me too). So Thursday's denial-of-service attack on Twitter and the ensuing downtime has been a brutal shock to the sy… Continue

Caseyfern Why Two TV Shows are Making Me Cringe - Drop Dead Diva, More To Love

Anyone else feeling it, too? The sense of exception processing, wrapped in a thinly coated lack of size acceptance and frosted with a big glob of being different? As tempting as it is to ramble and rant about these two shows, I'd much rather hear what you have to say about them. Let 'er rip! Continue

Marie Denee Embody Denim by Natalie Wakeling Designer Plus size Denim

Greetings!

My Curvy.Confident.Chic. Plus- size divas, now I know how hard it is to find designer denim that is just as fly as the straight sized fashionista. I hate going into the department stores looking at the “Premium Denim” selection only to be disappointed that there is nothing higher than a size 32. Why not? I read the latest fashion magazines and the hottest fashion blogs, but yet MY options are extremely limited. I like my high- fashion designers (even if I can only indulge in their

Marie Denee I am Curvy.Confident.Chic- but I have a problem

So, here I am, a newbie to this blogging world. I am in all words a fashionista, but I have a problem. I am a size 14/16 (depending on who you ask even an 18 or 20!) who desires and demands the high fashion that is permitted to my lovely straight sized sisters. My problem is that there are amazing limitations and options for me to enable my fashion habit. I have scoured through all the leading fashion portals (the mainstream) and have found but a few with the same passion and angst, although I k… Continue

Caseyfern Cause for Celebration

Just to prove that inspiration to celebrate can come from the strangest places... I"m celebrating having my name fall onto Page 3 of the Members list at The Perfect Social Club. Why is this such a big thing? Well, I remember when we first started, when there were two members on that list - mine and Kate's. She encouraged me; I encouraged her - we shored each other up and cheered each other on... a social club of two good friends. If I recall, at the time, the artwork for the site was pretty bla… Continue
