I will continue to maintain my contacts and review books through my official website, SquidLit, and Amazon. It has been an interesting experience and I have learned many things from it. I do not regret my time working on this site.

I even recommend her book on my blog for the last year. At the end of December I applied to be a contributing fashion poster on her updated website. Much to my own surprised they were “very interested” and offered me a position which required me to turn in one assignment per week on plus size fashion. Here are six of the titles that made the cut:

  • Five Great Places to Purchase Plus Size Tights
  • The Best Wide Calf Boots
  • Five Great Plus Size Work Dresses
  • Five Pieces You Need For the New Year
  • Six Pieces For New Year Workouts

Visit the Budget Fashionista.

I’ve had a few topics over the years but my concentration has always been with the Large and Lovely site. 5

I have seen it grow from a few articles to hundreds. And watched the hits climb from 10,000 a month to over 100,000. It’s been great fun and I’ve learned a lot from the owner and fellow editors.

Here’s to another five years!

It’s stuff like this that really skews readers minds. The top of the list is Sarah Jessica Parker. I’ve never really been a fan of hers or the whole “Sex in the City” bra-gade but she had a really great response to this: Sarah Jessica Parker

“What they don’t know is that one day I’ll wake up fat. But I’ll still be happy, just like I am now. I believe in the old ‘sticks and stones’ philosophy, so frankly their words don’t come close to hurting. And it does not bother me in the least if people don’t think I’m sexy. I don’t think I am, either.”

Following behind Jessica is Amy Winehouse (British singer), Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), Madonna (Music Icon) and Britney Spears (Pop Icon – because she shave her head and gained a few pounds).

Frankly, I find all these women beautiful and sexy. They are all completely different, and I find it interesting that they are all “strong” and “successful”. Sure a few of could put on five or ten pounds but I would not say they are un-sexy. This article just really annoyed me.
