I am so excited! I have been chosen to represent The Curvy Spot at the Lane Bryant Blogger Conference during the 2011 Full Figured Fashion Week in New York City.Â
The conference is a unique opportunity for LB’s executive to probe into the minds of the consumer. So with that being said, drop me a comment, hit me on twitter @phillii, inbox me on FaceBook… and let me know what tidbits you want me to share with LB.
When Gwen DeVoe says she has news… BOY OH BOY does she have news. If you have been following the social media team for FFFWeek, you may have already known there was a white on white affair planned for the Opening Night Celebration. However, were you expecting CURVES AT SEA! Like many of you, I am so excited for the events the 3rd annual Full Figured Fashion Week – NYC has in store for us this year. For ticket information for the Curves at Sea celebration, check out FFFWeek’s website.
Full Figured Fashion Week’s 2011 Industry award recipient for Plus Magazine of the Year, Plus Model Magazine is teaming up with Lane Bryant & True Curves to raise money for NYC’s Walk MS Weekend! This is a great opportunity to get involved with a great cause. Here’s a line-up of the activities.

One of my favorite past times is curling up on my loveseat with a bottle of wine and a good book. As outgoing and social as I am, for me there is sometimes no better time spent than with self. Like many of you I was introduced to Chastity Garner via her blog and when I read she was publishing her first book I was excited…. until I saw the title and I thought “what is this exactly”. Is it her blog in a book? If so, I can read that for free. After some research and my interview with her for SKORCH Magazine I found out we were all wrong.
 The Curvy Girls Guide to Style Vol 1 is titled perfectly. It is a beginners or even those with a little experience guide to looking your best. There are two things that makes Chastity’s book worth buying (1) its written by one of us for us. I don’t know about you but sometimes I just get so sick and tired of people with no clue on how it feels to be plus size telling how I should wear my clothes. The options are practical well the power panty is a bit much but honey it works. (2) its an easy read. I didn’t struggle thru the pages. Her personality comes thru and you feel like her in a conversation.Â
In celebration of the release of her book The Curvy Spot is bringing a copy of The Curvy Girls Guide to Style into your home.  Just leave me a comment about your style and how Chasisty can give you a few pointers… A winner will be chosen on July 1st!

Yesterday, Lane Bryant posted a lingerie commercial it said had been rejected or partially censored by ABC and Fox. Now they’ve taken it down. What’s going on?
A post on the plus-size retailer’s Inside Curve blog — which has since been removed, along with the ad itself — charged that the networks had refused to air the sexy ad without substantial edits.
“ABC and Fox have made the decision to define beauty for you by denying our new, groundbreaking Cacique commercial from airing freely on their networks,” the Lane Bryant post reportedly said.
What are you thoughts?
