Plus Size Clothing Magazine: Happy Macy Gray’s Designing More “Junk from Inside that Trunk”

Frilly, frou-frou, retro, classic, gypsy, ghetto chic, Macy always had us wondering, “Who designs your clothes, Girl?” Now, we know.

The vivacious and curvaceous actress-musician Ms. Macy Gray recently informed Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) in New York that she plans to relaunch Humps, her plus size clothing line for women.

That’s right: the Grammy award winning woman with the signature voice is coming out with yet another signature line. Humps (pre-Fergie and Black Eyed Peas, mind you…) is not a trend, or a “bandwagon jumping” collection. Her line was originally filling…

The magazine’s latest stylistic theme is Pulp Fashion à la Beth Ditto, a previous Elle France feature. This time around, it’s Pulp Fashion with a haute couture twist.

Fashion for Full Figured Mommies

Frumpy maternity clothes are a thing of the past. We’ve got Angelina Jolie, Tori Spelling, Heidi Klum, and Mo’Nique to thank–among countless other celebs and their babies-to-be. Only the latter is a woman of size, so the majority of maternity wear out there is for women with little “baby bumps.” If you’ve got more to love, then you can demand more from the places you shop.

Even before your pregnancy, and even if you’re not a slave to fashion, you know how gorgeous you can feel when you find a new outfit. It doesn’t have to end while you’re pregnant. Why don schlumpadinka, baggy, ill-fitting, and shapeless clothing if you don’t have to?

You can find affordable, attractive, and comfy fashions that give you and the little one lots of room to roam, while looking and feeling beautiful in the process.

You might find more luck with that on the web, at the time of this writing. There are many virtual destinations featuring clothes that’ll hug your extra curves, with materials that are breathable (polyester be gone!), and comfortable. While many retailers carry Plus Size Maternity Wear, some can make it harder to find than others.

Here are some rules of the road as you search for your maternity ensemble:

New! Now! Next! No.: Don’t get fooled by ads, solicitations, or displays…

Didn’t You Get the Memo? Life’s a Drag!

“We’re Born Naked, and The Rest Is Drag.”

- RuPaul

You might find the RuPaul’s Drag Race crew to be nothing more than camp, but think again: if you ever listen to interviews with “the artist formally born as RuPaul Andre Charles,” you’ll notice that he says grand dame divas like Cher, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce are all about dress-up and drag. Many of those men impersonating women can be more feminine than a lot of us–take notice! This is not a competition, girlfriend. Didn’t you know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? If you haven’t opened up that eyeshadow or compact in your recent past, take another look. Exaggerate your features, experiment with color, glue on those eyelashes and go play. Then you, too, will defy all stereotype and expectations. You better work it!

xoxoxo,
