Beth Ditto clothing line coming July 9

I wasn't too familiar with singer Beth Ditto of The Gossip until some recent news articles came out featuring her refusal to do some in store appearances for a UK clothing store that didn't carry plus sizes and in turn has taken the reigns to launch a clothing line for plus sizes that will debut at Evans UK on July 9, 2009. They do ship to the USA from their online store so that's good news if you find something you can't live without!

I just want to thank her for being bold and standing up for what is right in what can seem like a fashionably unequal society. Read more about it here. Here's a vid below if you wanna check out her music! This is one lady that deserves to be heard in more ways than one. Rock on! ~Jax

More To Love

Looking for Mr. Right? OR Mr. Right now? lol. For anyone interested *ages 23-35*, the executive producers of The Bachelor are now casting for a new show on FOX called "More To Love." It is a competetion like The Bachelor, except it is featuring curvy girls. They even have some open casting calls in some major cities. Give it a whirl and just maybe you will get your foot in the door in Hollywood! God knows us BBW need some presence in the big H. ~Jax

Goodbye Figure Magazine

....Another plus size magazine bites the dust. I wasn't exactly the biggest fan (no pun intended) of Figure magazine but I'm still sad to hear that it's run is over. I used to grab it once in a while from the magazine rack for a quick fashion read. It definitely was the plus size magazine with the most visibility and was usually easy to find unlike other magazines for bbw. Their last issue is the March/April issue. I really hope someone comes along and claims our place on the magazine rack again. It was nice having something to relate to amongst the sea of skinny model "how to lose 5 pound mags". RIP Figure magazine. ~Jax
