Words to live by!
You are not your bra-size, nor are you the width of your waist, nor are you the slenderness of your calves. You are not your hair color, your skin color, nor are you a shade of lipstick. Your shoe-size is of no consequence. You are not defined by the amount of attention you get from males, females, or any combination thereof. You are not the number of sit-ups you can do, nor are you the number of calories in a day. You are not your mustache. You are not the hair on your legs. You are not a little red dress. You are the content of your character. You are…

Would you want to be a Whale or a Mermaid?
Original post found on Gala Darling! Recently, in a large city in Australia, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym. To Whom It May Concern, Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.) They have an active sex life, get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play…

The plus size acceptance that seems to be taking the world by craze is such a great thing to see, I only wish it was around when I was a teen a trying to figure things out! For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fat. My fathers side of the family is solid,…

“Big beauties throw a curve ball at ready-to-wear fashion”
Photo (c) Craig Sillitoe A year ago Mison launched Real Women Have Curves – providing shopping tours, one-on-one styling, personalised shopping and workshops for women size 16 and over who have difficulty finding fashionable clothing in their size. Earlier this year she launched a modelling agency representing women size 16 to 24. And next March, Mison, along with Brisbane-based businesswoman Erika Entz, will launch Australia’s first plus-size-only fashion event in Melbourne. READ MORE HERE! To say I’m excited may just be an understatement. I love the fact that Plus Size Fashion is finally getting some notice. Not only that, but in Australia! http://www.realwomenrevolution.com.au/ Workshops – Expo of Plus-Size Products &…

Plus Size Models.
Real life has dealt out a crappy hand of cards. It’s something I really wish I could talk about here, but I’ve been asked not to talk about it on facebook & figured that would then carry on over to my blog. Those of you who follow me on twitter may have some idea of what’s been going on. So, my days have been spent being a little emotional & not wanting to do much. Times like these I find myself losing hours flicking through sites like Tumblr, Deviant Art & Model Mayhem, looking at the pretty. Below you will find pictures of some of my favourite plus size models. I…
