“When you think about incorporating a healthier lifestyle into your own, remember, you’re just like everybody else…Everyone is striving for better health.”

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Asks: Sure You’re Sexy as You Wanna Be–Are You as Healthy as You Wanna Be?

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt, so the saying goes. Being big and beautiful has its perks, no doubt about it. Plus size clothing options are getting better and better every day (Yes! Thank you, world!). It’s no longer a secret–big gals have more fun. And the “little people” just don’t understand, at least not always: many full figured women and men are living an HAES lifestyle (Health at Every Size). Fashion designers, shock-jocks, and ignorant so-called pundits still think that just because someone is overweight, they’re unhealthy. This article isn’t for full-time HAES’ers. This is for plus sized folks who aren’t quite sure…

“The girls were gorgeous, but they were being shot as though they were sex-less old maids!” – Darren Trentacosta, on the need for va-va-vooming up the plus size look

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Reviews the On-Trend, Designed to Fit Trentacosta Line.

Four years on, Trentacosta New York is in fine form. Playing word association with its designs in mind is easy: Smart. Regal. Clean lines. Tastefully feminine. Most ideal for the curves-plus woman. Trentacosta New York’s stylish fashion craftsmanship is impressive.

The woman’s plus size clothing designer’s new Spring Summer 2010 collection, due in stores and online on May 1, cuts a winning, handsome figure and makes you think twice about getting your garments tailored. What’s exceptional about this line of full figured women’s blouses, slacks, dresses, and more is the fact that the clothes are already tailored, before they make their way to the boutique, on a fully-bodied Size 18 fit model. How you riff on the rest of the fit is always up to you.

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Checks in on Jessica Biffi: from Indie, to Etsy, to Fashion Week, to You.

“It’s not necessarily about taking one style you have and making it for a larger size,” she says. “What works for a two doesn’t necessarily work for a six or a 10.”                                           – Jessica Biffi, to the Calgary Herald

Yesterday, Project Runway Canada alum Jessica Biffi’s indie designer gear launched with two new collections in true Web 2.0 style: debuting at LG Fashion Week, in Addition Elle boutiques for women of size, and for MXM (the Bold Biffi line). This up and coming curvy clothing artisan is selling her wares both online and in stores, and both of her retailers of choice specialize in women’s clothing in sizes 14 and up. Facebook, Twitter, and Google continue to spread the Biffi love byte by byte. In the full figured world of diversified fashion, you can never get…

Plus Size Clothing Magazine Knows that Heavenly Bodies Make Their Way to the Pages in Every Shape, Every Size.

Who knew that Elle France published an annual plus size issue? Time to keep a better eye on the international magazine stand!

Last month’s hate crime committed against two gay male UC Riverside students continues to compel the queer community to action, both locally and elsewhere.

Sadly on the same day, anti-gay graffiti was spray painted on a building at UC Davis’ LGBT Resource Center. Every time one hears about or encounters incidents like this, it’s one more time too many.

According to StopHate.us, lesbians and gays from all racial, social, and religious backgrounds are
