CURVES IN ACTION: 1ST EVER PLUS SIZE SHOW IN NY FASHION WEEK

Size 12 & 14 Models walk down the runway in Mark Fast fashion show Super Model Lizzie Miller in Glamour Magazine Super Model Toccara Jones

We are sexy, we are driven, we are fabulous and finally...we have representation in New York Fashion Week!!!  

Whether admitted or not, we've all run into that stunningly beautiful plus-size woman (in the store, on the train, at the club, etc.) who make us think to ourselves, "Wow she should/could be a model!"  According to Daily Mail, dozens of outfits from OneStopPlus.com will grace the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) runways Wednesday at Lincoln Center NY.  The store carries US sizes 12W-44W.  This will be the first time a plus-size runway has ever been included in NYFW.  With the average size of American women said to be size 14 US (NY Times Article March 1, 2009), the inclusion of plus-size women in New York Fashion Week is well past due and highly welcomed!

"This show is a collaborative effort to provide the extraordinary community of plus-size American women with the uncompromising style that they have always deserved but never received. It's about inclusion and fashion democracy: fashion risk-taking and empowerment. No more seeing what you can't have; this is a fashion party that invites and inspires everyone."-Zahir Babvani, VP of Design of OneStopPlus.com. (Marketwatch.com)

Super models walking the runways in next week's shows include Lizzie Miller and Toccara Jones.  Let's hope this show is a step in the new direction of celebrating beauty and style for what it is and removing size from the equation.<

I stumbled upon this recent article on plus size super model Crystal Renn.  Though she's graced some of the most notable runways and magazines, she still runs into the same dilemma of finding a good selection for plus size clothing in Hollywood.  Click here for Crystal Renn on finding a dress for the Emmy Awards.

CURVES IN ACTION: BEYONCE OFFICIALLY FIRES DAD TO BRING IN JAY-Z?

Media Takeout has reported that Thick Fab diva Beyonce has fired her father (Matthew Knowles) from his role as manager after literally a lifetime of holding down the fort.  The split is reportedly due to a growing separation between Beyonce & her father both professionally and personally after the divorce of her parents.  She is said to be hiring husband and rapper Jay-Z to fill the position.



Let me fist say that I'm a true-blue Beyonce fan & have been since the early stages in her career when she and the girls of DC were on tour opening for Boyz II Men (with no props other than chairs!).   It was nice to see the relationship she once had with her father & the broken relationship is sad if this is true.  No one truly knows what happens in the Knowles family and I'm sure that with the amount of admiration Beyonce had for Matthew, her reasons for this split may very well be valid.  I wish the Knowles family the best in mending their relationships.

Lauryn Hill gave an amazing performance  this past weekend at the Rock The Bells concert on Governor's Island in New York.  I am so happy she's back!!!  

I must say, curvaceous figures Beyonce & Mary J. looked beautiful as usual, and expecting-mom Alicia Keys was glowing.  Guests also included Jay-Z, Chris Rock & John Legend.  It was nice seeing celebrities in all fields of entertainment present & supporting Lauryn's comeback.
