Vote for Your Favorite Plus Size Blog

BLOG...BLOG....BLOG...

I am hooked on blogs...it is the weekend and I am reading some of my favorite blogs, as I always do. It has just struck me how my reading style has changed drastically.

It has become far easier to read online than by print media. The laptop is always there, never anything to throw away and always free. Now with my ipad I can read blogs even when away from my laptop. My ipad has become like my lipstick, I don't leave home without it.

But are these the true reasons for my addiction to blogs? Four years ago I hardly new what a blog was. I started researching blogs and began reading blogs before jumping in, completely unprepared, and began writing a blog myself.

Reading a blog on a steady basis is like getting to know a pen pal. You become personally attached to the news on the blog. Wanting to know what is happening or what they are thinking next. It is like calling a friend to catch up.

I think the pure beauty of a blog is the unique and unsolicited opinions being put forth. There are no commercial bias' or political pressure or advertisers to please. Either you like what the bloggers says or not. You know it is their free will and honest opinion. This is my true reason for my love of blogs.

I read blogs on fashion, plus size fashion, travel, home décor, food, film, costume, personal style blogs, history and industry trade blogs.

I love the variety of topics, the world wide authors and the feeling of a global village this creates.

Help me to create the "Woman's Choice 25 Best Plus Size Fashion Blogs." It will then be published for everyone to see and start reading.

Penningtons' Plus Size Lingerie TV Commercial

I have just seen the new Penningtons' lingerie commercial on TV. I am impressed. The women are lovely and the ad is very well done. This TV commercial stands out from the endless showings of silly ads. It stands out for the content and also for the plus size models.
This is a beautiful ad. It draws your attention in an elegant and sophisticated manner. It is so common to see scantily clothed women that we hardly take notice yet plus size women in bra and panties still feels daring. I hope this is the beginning of a new trend.
These women are beautiful, confident, bold and the lingerie is pretty as well. Check out the video.


Since this ad launched on you tube two weeks ago it has already had 483,962 views.
Penningtons' is a Canadian store specializing in women's plus size clothing. 

Have you seen this yet? What do you think about this ad champagne? Watch here and give share your impressions.

Buy One Get One Free Plus Size Panties

I want to share this great BOGO deal with everyone.

seamless high cut   seamless bikini

These great nylon panties are made in Europe by Tatiana Fashions of high quality materials. I think they are one of the unsung heros in the plus size panty world.

I have been wearing these myself for about 2 years now. They are a great everyday panty for several reasons.
  • ultra fine stretchy nylon fabric
  • breathable fabric
  • no side seams
  • thin elastic waist and leg opening
Two styles are available. First the full panty which has a lower leg and a waistline that comes just below the belly button. Second the skimpy bikini panty with  a high cut leg and a low rise waist.

Both styles are great with jeans or slim fitting garments. The ultra thin fabric adds no extra bulk and the slippery finish allows your garments to slide over the panty never sticking.

They come in the best colors, black and nude.  Unfortunately they are only available from size Large to 3XL. Generally I only share items that work for more sizes however this is such a great bargain that I can’t resist.

Get the deal on:  Seamless Hi-Cut Brief Panty or Seamless Bikini Panty

DISCOUNT CODE: BOGOseamless      Follow the link above and choose your style and color. On the check out page enter the discount code at the end and 2 pair for the price of one will automatically be sent to you.

The first design above  is called Vintage Treasure. It is made from vintage silk and coffee died for a soft, warm, antique look. The light lace drops below the silk band for a soft skirted effect. Two ribbon roses complete the romantic garter.

Plus Size Beauties from the Past

I adore Vintage lingerie. I don't know if it is the styles of the lingerie or the photographs themselves. There is such an innocence of the times there. I can see a sophistication and worldliness in the photos yet it still has innocence.

I admire the time given to adding details just for pure enjoyment. The details and adornment serve no purpose except to please. The fabrics available were so limited at the time. I admire the innovative use of simple materials to create complicated undergarments.

Enjoy a little stroll through history with these women captured in time. I can't help wondering who  they were and what their lives were about. These are some of my favorite old pictures......
