I know it's been a long time I'm sorry. I hope you will understand when I tell you that losing my dad this year was like a catalyst for change. I decided to move home and go back to university. These last months have been about that and trying to survive while doing it! I have caught myself thinking why I did it?! But I am loving university and enjoying living in London again. It's a warm vibrant city and one in which a bigYoutiful like myself can really shine and dare I say even make a difference. Being here means I'm closer to things like Full Figure Fashion Week London and the very first Curvy Convention in the UK that I know about taking place next year 29th & 30th March 2014 at the Hotel Russell London. Check out further details at www.curvyconvention.co.uk I'm hoping to showcase my range of t shirts and accessories there but not sure as there appears to be limited space available. If you are a plus size designer wanting to showcase your designs this might be the perfect environment to debut yourself so check it out asap to book your stall. If you're plus size you should try to come. Fashion Shows etc. etc. I think it's going to be fantastic!
Happening now as we speak is Miss Plus Size International 2013 at the luxurious Grand Connaught Rooms in London. I think tickets are still being sold. www.misssplussizeinternational.com Warning: a little bit expensive but I hear it will totally be worth it! I'm totally supporting Hayley Sykes, 20, beautiful young girl from Leicester because although I live in London now Leicester was my home for many years so showing my support for my home girl.
For you bigYoutiful internationals I think BBC 3 is covering this so if you can catch international channels where you are or on the web then check it out. If I find out I will post it here.
Lots going on, lots and lots peoples. There is a cruise happening as well next year. Check out facebook.com/groups/plussizecruise
All over the world bigYoutifuls are getting it on! We are living large and just being ourselves.
Anyway, I'll leave this with you. Ignore the subtitles but here is one of my favourite scenes....
