I’m very proud to say that I love my curvaceous figure and happen to represent one of the hottest designers, B & Lu, www.bandlu.com, whose creations have been mentioned in Upscale, Glamour Magazine and designer, Christine Scholl who was featured on the Tyra Banks Show!!! Every since I took on their publicity, I often wear their clothing and without fail, I’m always complimented. This year has started with a bang for them with getting Gabourey Sidibe to wear the clothing on the red carpet and Chelsea Lately. This was truly has astounding! It’s wonderful that the market is starting to recognize curvy women, but it’s truly a gift to have the curvy women embrace their designs and find out who we ALL are.

Recently, Chenese Lewis, model, actress and radio show host of Plus Model Magazine held an amazing networking event for curvy women. This event was held at the new great big eclectic space of MGI Studios, the owner Marlene Hoffman is also a creator of Naked Minerals Make Up line. Guests were treated to free raffle tickets with prizes given away by Curvy Girl Clothing, Hips and Curves, complimentary photo shoot packages and Svoboda Denim Designs. I personally won a certificate from Curvy Girl Clothing!!

Networking opportunities were abundant as models, designers, photographers and stylists were all gathered. While I was there, it was so nice to meet other gorgeous women of all sizes who weren’t concerned about eating, actually sitting down and really noshing together while conversating over the latest controversial Lane Bryant commercial and expressing what we wish to see more designers come up with to compliment our physiques. Truly embracing, loving and welcoming our god given assets!!

Chenese introduced us to speed networking where we had to do an individual meet and greet in 3 minutes. During that experience, I met some beautiful models, new designers and other writers. Plusologie is a new designer to look out for in the future. If you like romantic, feminine, frilly but classy, you will like them!

All and all, I thought I was only going to be there an hour and half, I stayed for three hours, need I say more? Yay, Curvy Girls!! Hopefully, more events are to come.
