Plus Size From C

The Blog that Twitter Begat.

This would be an excellent time to bookmark me!

When my doc prescribed stopping my life and ingesting high dosages of poison steroids for seven weeks last spring, I needed a way to spend my endless hours on house arrest.  One day, after vowing to never again read TMZ (I lie to myself sometimes) I said, “Hey, what’s this Twitter thing and why does everyone want to follow around Ashton Kutcher?”  So I fired up an account and followed Ashton.  I thought it was dumb.  Actually, I thought he was dumb.

Before I left I typed a few random search terms into a box and followed Thicksational (check out her excellent blog at thicksational.com) and OMG she followed me back!  I was so excited.  This was before I learned about following and being followed.  (I am happy to say that I have my kept my twitter following 99% pure – if you ain’t big, I block you baby.)  My next step was to post a plus size fashion tweet.  The rest is history, but only because of you.

Which brings me to the Plus Size From C – The Blog.  I say the instead of my because my hope is that this will be your space as much as mine.  As I looked for what type of blog would cut through the noise – and not compete with my many talented curvy sisters – I noticed that what we really needed was a place to talk about it.  It being Big.  Bodaciously Big in a Boney Ass World.

My hope is that you will visit – and contribute – often.  I’ll keep the content length conducive to our info-overloaded-ADD world so C can be a regular stop in your day. (Facebook; Twitter; PlussizefromC.com (now would be an excellent time to bookmark me!)

Let me give you a tour:

Home is where you will find  plus-size fashion tweet.  It will also alert you to new content on the site.

Just cause they make it in your size…doesn’t mean you have any business wearing it is the place for posting the wrong and right way to put it all together.  If you look great in an outfit – send me a pic.  If you look like you need a collection taken up on your behalf for a full-length mirror, send me a pic.  (You know we all have those days.)  I can always block your face – or shoes.  And even though we all occasionally see a hot mess on the street – I think there are enough people in the world making fun of fat folk, so in the spirit of self-effacing humor, let’s skip those folks.

Take 5 is your place to read mini-interviews of great women and men will appear.  Five short questions – five significant answers.  Amazing women have already been generous with their time and our inaugural interview is with Plus Model Rocky, creative director for Gemini Mag.  If you are interested in being featured, email me.  Everyone has a story to tell, so all are welcome.

That’s What She Said. Your Place to Observe, Report, Inspire & Bitch. Rant, rave, comment, share joy, sadness, insecurities, confidence, answer a posted question, you name it – just know that the filter is set to a R rating!

Truth or Dare. Where We Dare to Write the Truth About Being Big. Longer thoughts on the what the world is like living in it Big.  Again, I am so grateful to our first piece written by Tracy Hale – an amazing women who dares to write the truth the dichotomy of high/low self esteem many of us struggle with in our daily lives.

In an ironic twist, I am back on poison steroids, but this time I am continuing to work at my day job throughout my course of meds. Once again, God did not read my memo closely enough.

And with that, we’re off.  Together I hope we can enjoy more wisdom and more joy than we ever could alone.  Don’t be a stranger.

Bodacious Blessings,  C
