The 1st ever plus-size fashion show in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week got off without a hitch.  As mentioned in my previous post, the 1st ever Plus-Size NY Fashion Week show took place earlier this evening at Lincoln Center.  

The show was given by OneStopPlus.com.  Company President Stephanie Sobel (who is not plus-size) says it was "customer-driven incentive" that inspired the show.  


I can not express how excited I am about this step forward for the fashion industry and media in general!!  Women come in all shapes and sizes and ALL need to be celebrated.  Some celebrities in attendance were Nikki Blonsky, Gabourey Sidibe, Caroline Manzo (RHWNJ) & plus-size super models Emme & Toccara. 

Here are some pictures and footage from the event:

CURVES IN ACTION: Gabourey Sidibe's New Crush

In a recent interview with People Magazine Gabourey Sidibe revealed her not so minor crush on singer Trey Songz and with all due respect, we don't blame you Gabourey...he's pretty sexy!  She recalls her words from their first conversation being, "'Now that we go to the same events, you think I’m cool, right? Do you want to date? We could just get married!'".
