Cheers! Plus-Size Promotion in Print Once Again
I stumbled upon this yesterday and thought I’d share. Like many of you BBW/plus-sized gals, I’m a former Mode and BBW Magazine subscriber, and have been keeping an eye on the magazine racks at the grocery and book stores in hopes that another one might come along soon. Enter Figure Magazine. Not only does it touch on beauty and fashion, but also includes articles on relationships, body, mind & spirit, food & entertaining, and has a community section to allow readers to meet fellow Figure readers. I don’t know about you, but somewhere in this whole struggle with being happy with myself, I forgot how to feel pretty. I rarely do my makeup anymore, and hairstyle? Yeah, right. I have no hairstyle. I’ve never been able to relate to the models in the ‘mainstream’ fashion magazines like Vogue, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan. Not because they aren’t beautiful; they are. They’re just not plus-sized. Seeing plus-sized women look, feel, and act beautiful, confident, sexy, and happy is just the dose of medicine this ’sleeping’ beauty needs!
