Miracle on the Hudson is truly a miracle. I just cannot imagine being a plus size woman and trying to navigate the aisles and into a flotation device. Due to my size I don't swim well and that would have been a problem. I think its amazing everyone got out in a safe and reasonable manner. I have to fly next month and I would love to have that pilot flying my aircraft! I know that they are trained to handle emergencies however it takes skill and confidence to handle something like this.

It was really great to hear some good news! Plus it was a human event with heroes and saving lives. (How did all those survivors who were interviewed on talk shows cope so quickly. I would have been a total mess!)

What is important is lives were saved. People lived. Time is so precious.

I was watching Opray last night. It was about "outing" yourself as a plus size women who lost weight and then regained. Yeeks. I was a little taken back by the show. As a 2x plus size women I am not sure if I want to "out" myself or even have someone else do that for me. I love my body and the way it is. I have curves, so what. My family loves me no matter if I am a size 14 or 22. This is such an obsession to lose weight in this country. I think its about good nutrition, balance mind, and an active life. Let's look at the great things we have accomplished and the new ones to come. 2009 is just fine!

I have been watching video postings on youtube lately. I usually go for the comic ones. But today I did a search for plus size clothing and found a posting by a 24 year old. More than half my age! She was venting that there are no choices for plus size women. I was astonished to learn that the brand womens clothing manufacturers were not addressing her issues. And she doesn't like a good fur trim! I guess I am losing touch with the younger generation and that has inspired me to get rid of my baggage. I gonna listen better. Learn more. She is right though. Clothes are an expression of you and how you feel about yourself. Being plus size should not be limiting no matter what age. I do no have a daughter but if I did it would be so much fun to go shopping together. I would want her to find clothing that matches her. It's a small world after all? Not really. It is a big world with bold, bright, beautiful women.

There are more online plus size clothing stores than ever before. I am always looking for new women's clothing. It's a game for me to find great clothing. What is really odd some of the online plus size stores have up to 3 o 4 stores but with different names. They tend to clog up the search engines causing the smaller plus size stores and better women's stores to fall behind.

I now just go to page three of my google search for: plus size clothing. It's there I can find the smaller boutiques that actually produce clothing up to 9x! Also I have noticed that the ranking plus size clothing stores cater to 16-30 year old girls.

You know there was a time my arm muscle had muscle but over time gravity has taken over and the muscle has been heading south, if you know what I mean. Plus, I don't want to show off my tummy line. And you wants to wear thin tight printed lycra? Not my first choice in plus size clothing.

I want quality artistic detailing fashions that fit! Why is that so difficult? I have tons of ideas for design but I can't sew or make patterns. So take the time search the net of plus size clothing and you will be able to find some great clothing!
