One for Thin lingerie Models, another for Full Figure Lingerie models?
Swimsuit for All will give the first 50 approved comments a $10 gift card, for your opinion regarding the below.
As I do not know when this started I’m gonna post this right now, and add my comment regarding it as an update below it later.
I do not know if this is still on even, but just to know Swimsuit for All is concerned is nice!
A controversy is brewing over Lane Bryant’s latest plus-sized lingerie ad and the ABC and FOX networks, which initially refused to air the ad during "Dancing with the Stars" and “American Idol,” respectively. Lane Bryant claims the networks acted hypocritically, as they have aired Victoria's Secret ads during the show. However, now that a lingerie ad showing plus size women is being offered, it hasn't been given the same welcome.
The suggestive ad, which can be viewed here, shows a plus size model in bra and underwear preparing for a date. After several shots of her breast and torso clad in attractive lingerie, she is seen walking out the door in a black coat over nothing but her underclothes, and the rest is left to the viewer's imagination!
Although both networks eventually relented, they only did so after demanding excessive re-edits. ABC, however, claims this is a publicity stunt put on by the swimwear company, and that the only restriction the network made was confining the ad to the last 10 minutes of the show; while FOX claims it had only refused the clothing company's request to air the ad during the 8 p.m. time slot, which FOX considers "family hour." FOX has, however, allowed the ad to run with no edits during the 9 p.m. time slot.
What do you think? Have ABC and FOX shown a double standard here, favoring thin models over plus size women? Or were their initial refusals justified? Let's hear your thoughts!

Posted a bit later,
OK, the ability to vote seems to be gone from this but you can check out Swimsuit for All’s reasonably priced swimwear here.
What got me is the concept of any network saying they cannot air something because it was the “Family Hour”. After you see an ED, (having nothing to do with education either), commercial run on a Saturday afternoon some years ago, I can not believe networks observe “Family Hour” as a concept.
True, I do not know what network that was…However between the hemorrhoid commercials of the past, now ed commercials at all hours of the day into night, I have long felt that networks might as well just plain out aim for indelicate, never mind indecent!
I especially dislike the extreme out-reality the PBS and KUBO cartoons Arthur and others where the children go out to play without an adult in attendance!
Yippee! Looking at One Stop Plus’ Ellos collection today, I notice they are using full figure models to show their beauteous styles! This is what I have long enjoyed about urban fashion online stores, Igigi, Kiyonna, Junonia, Just My Size, AlwaysForMe and more and more full figure swimwear at Swimsuits for All!
I hope that events like the upcoming Full Figure Fashion Week in NYC, 6/16-19, 2010, will encourage more of this!
I have one of the Ellos collection’s dresses posted at the top our dresses
page and the moment, and here is a beautiful tunic and another of their dresses below!
This tunic comes in four colors in sizes 14 to 40W!
As does this beautiful, looks comfy too, sweater dress! OK, the dress only comes in three colors…
When I first started looking at fashions on line, I wished they used models, (some stores still do not), then used full figure models.
I feel the full figure models do three good things for us curvaceous shoppers:
Gives us a better idea of what the apparel might look like, and have to offer on a larger than average woman.
Shows us an examples of full figure beauty.
Encourage us to celebrate our curves, as Igigi puts it, and I think these two photos above, as well as other in One Stop Plus’ Ellos apparel line, do all three!
I have been a fan of Silhouettes’ plus size fashions since I first saw them. I am so hoping they too, finally take the hint and use full figure women to model their beautiful fashions in their excellent catalog and web site!
An earlier post today, directly from my review of my, fairly, new vest does not quite say it all…
I got that vest for $18, and I round UP, because the Jessica London 40% off your most expensive item discount code you will find, down a bit, in this page’s right column, is good for even just one item!
Now Jessica London, who always seems to be having sales, is having a Linen sale! You will find lots of plus size fashions made of linen blends starting at $25 at this sale! Oh how I wish that vest came in linen blends!
So using the discount code in the right column here, this on sale at $50 to $60, cotton linen women’s blazer could be yours for just $30 to $36! It comes in a medium rose color, as well as its white shown below, in sizes 14W to 28W.
They have a couple of linen blend suits priced at less than this jacket too, as well as dresses, pants, blouses and so on.
That is what I mean by better than advertised, on sale, with a coupon, free shipping return label if needed, good fit and quality!
This vest is perfect! I really want to get it, in exactly the same cut & sizing, in more colors and fabrics, like linen blends and denims, more natural fabrics in an array of colors PLEASE! It is just perfect. When the temperature is up, it is what I throw on on my way out the door. I need more, in summer colors especially, and for when the other is in the wash!
To see the entire sale selection, click on this pretty, new pink colored Evie full fit bra, available in sizes up to 38G, below.
Read on to find out what larger cup, to JJ cup sizes, bras are at this sale, & which store has one of these larger cup sale bras for even less!

I checked Bare Necessities, but they do not seem to have any Fantasie bras in their sale or outlet sections at this time.
Some of the bras at Figleaves Fantasie sale are also on sale at Bigger Bras. With Bigger Bras 10%, (found on their pages), it can be quite a savings. However, available sizes are quite limited…
Price wise, you can often find better prices on New, With Tag, Fantasie Bras at eBay. You can shop by band and cup size from the left column of the page the link in the previous sentence takes you too.
I suggested three good links for full figure bras at eBay stores in this page’s right column.
For the moment, my favorite, Belle Lingerie, has a very nice new site!
Unfortunately, it does not display the US dollar amount… I will try to find an eBay listing for them that includes the USD approx. equivalent for their items, or contact Belle Lingerie, or both…

I walk into the supermarket and pick up some Instant Shaping Darts, available in a variety of depths and lengths.
When I get home my daughter applies them, because they are fun and easy to apply, (it is a Dream), to mostly the backs, and fronts of some of my blouses.
Instantly I loose lots of back fat, and some front fat, visually of course, that was never there in the first place.
Just as suddenly the wardrobe I actually wear is expanded, because even I won’t knowing wear something that makes me look many pounds heavier!
Now, with shaping darts applied, these shirts can be worn!

Now about the eye liner!
Granted I am sort of a shy, timid person, who feels she looks a bit mousey. Still I got this Guerlain kohl eyeliner, likely not long after it came out, about 3, possibly more years ago, using it occasionally.
Just last week I found a YouTube video by lolipop26
showing how to use it on your water line, (just above your lower eye liner).
I thought I could do this. She just squeezed her eye shut to apply it rather than dragged it.
Then she just pressed the stick along the eyelash line for the upper lid. I skipped this because just the water line had made such a difference!
It was more than enough! Well like I said, I am a bit shy…
The dragging the stick you apply it with along you water line is what you will see in the video I found. I cannot find lolipop26’s video this week for some reason…
So finally this am I got around to trying it.
Except I did not even close my eyes on the stick.
I just laid the stick on my water line.
IT still works so well!
What impact!
I was convinced I was gonna do this every day!
(yes some got in my eyes. Not only does it not hurt, it, unlike mascara, feels like nothing! Yet has SO MUCH MORE IMPACT!)
I suddenly realized I could run out, I may be near out of this eye liner already. GULP
I found Use this link to go to Sephora’s is having a 15% off discount until 4/19/10. They also give you free shipping on orders over $50!
And I found they have 2 styles of Guerlain Kohl eye liner. I am enthusing to you about the terracotta loose power Guerlain Kohl eyeliner.
And now here is the best video I could find, rather than lolipop26’s which I prefer, because there is no dragging of the stick to apply this eyeliner, which made me bold enough to get right up to this, not even close my eyes and still have it work.
I am using the brown color, which appears to have lovely gold speckles in it.

After the sale you might find Baby Phat plus size dresses at eBay , (I find quite often, listing like the one this link will bring you to will not show all that is available at individual eBay stores), at better prices than Baby Phat. However, quite often I find they are near the same, if not more at times, than Baby Phat’s own prices as I had mentioned in Urban wear at eBay.
The exception to this would be bids at specific stores, which I mentioned a few in the above-mentioned Urban wear at eBay article. Mostly I like Ocean Drive Style of Miami for good bid prices on Baby Phat, Apple Bottoms and other urban fashions in plus sizes.
