Y’all have probably heard this video again.

Favorite quote from the video: “Throw out the clothes that you can’t wear anymore. They’re just taking up space, and PISSING YOU OFF!”

Thoughts, ladies and gents?

Even though I’m moving towards low-carb eating after Passover/Unleavened Bread/First Fruits, I still hear loud and clear what she’s saying! Rockin’.

Oh yeah, and the woman is BEAUTIFUL. Oh man.

I cannot tell you how much I’m looking forward to this sizzling summer season that’s right around the corner. I’m thinking halter tops, tube tops, flouncy skirts, and dresses that go from day to night. Can I get a witness on that?

Winter time has brought Me nothing but ice storms and bra straps. Of course, when you’re fighting to stay warm, you aren’t thinking about the bra straps. But when the weather turns in your favor and it’s time to get some sun (and show a little skin!), you can’t throw on the same old bra with those big ol’ straps, can you?

I’m really starting to get on a strapless bra streak. I’ve found some that are comfy and actually hang on for dear life, instead of slipping down or flopping around. Of course, the straps aren’t leaving forever — there are so many dresses that need them!

I *do* read every last comment posted to this website — I want to make that clear as a bell. I suck at commenting back, and I apologize to all of you that have been commenting on posts you love. Lots of older posts now have comments — thank you so much! Reading your replies makes me realize how important this site really is in the grand scheme of things.

I’m feeling better, but I’ve really felt like pressed wood for the last few days. My head aches, my back aches, and I’m swamped with work. Running a company and trying to get a 2nd one off the ground (yep, that’s right, but I’m keeping quiet on that front for the moment) is sapping a lot of time and energy away from here, and for that I am quite sorry.

I’ll try to think of something to say, but right now, all I’m thinking about is a cup of tea…

This blog isn’t just about fashion; somehow I started talking about life. I want to say thank you to all my friends, my family members, and everyone else who has came to this site, even if it’s just a quick visit to see if I’m still here, and if I’m still well.

The last few days have been…interesting. Dating again has felt so weird, after being in such a long relationship. However, there’s something that smacked me hard: I’m good as-is.

It’s such a simple, simple, concept, yet I’m wonderful the way I am, instead of feeling like I have to lose 3 million pounds. I’ve gotten so many compliments — I dress nice and keep myself looking good.

It seems like my trademark smile has lead me to a very interesting social life…that’s all this fashionista’s gonna say for now. Oh, and a small lament about the $300 I spent on new clothes…but they’re so pretty!

Take care for now,

Isabella

I have a few personal ad listings in various places — all of which mention my status as a Full Figured Female. I had a reply that actually asked me if it matter about race/age/ethnicity, and why anyone would post such things.

It doesn’t matter to me personally, but after a few coffee-dates that were a little shocking (where you could tell they were surprised to be meeting a BBW), I decided to weed out the knuckleheads and time-wasters.

What’s your take?
