    I’m from St. Louis–it would be wonderful to see y’all here, or somewhere in reasonable driving distance (Chicago, KC)




  2. Violet Says:

    Re-commenting for New York, yo.




  3. Unovis Says:

    New York!




  4. mary martha Says:

    Chicago!




  5. Leah Says:

    It would be great to see you in NH - although about the only draw is Primary Season… not exactly fashion related. We have 3 “major” cities here - Manchester, Nashua, and the capitol Concord, all within about 30 minutes of each other.




  6. HeleneoTroy Says:

    Washington, DC!




  7. cassandra Says:

    I vote for somewhere in the Cleveland area!




  8. Lucky Says:

    Please come to fabulous Seattle! Although you may want to wait until springtime…




  9. Mango Says:

    Sarasota or Tampa, FL.




  10. Lesley Says:

    I am in Central New Jersey, so I vote for either NYC or Philly. Or both!




  11. Scarlett Says:

    I’m with Lesley - NY, PHL, or both!




  12. K Says:

    Ooh, ooh! Houston! Pretty-pretty please?

    I’d settle for Austin in a pinch, but you should definitely come and check out Houston’s famous hospitality and our warm winter weather. :)




  13. Kris Says:

    Seattle! I’d even drive down to Portland for a weekend event. (Though, as Lucky said above, you might want to wait until spring…)




  14. Sarah Says:

    You should so come to St. Louis.

  20. Pamela Says:

    Washington D.C. or Baltimore!




  21. count sassy Says:

    Minneapolis/St Paul! But I’d fit in a visit to another midwestern city if you did…




  22. Cat Says:

    Count me in on the Minneapolis/St. Paul side of things!! Minnesota might be cold and snowy here in the winter, but it’s a pretty place to be!! And you can’t tell me that there aren’t a plethora of Fabulous Big Girls around here!




  23. teteatete Says:

    Washington, DC!




  24. Stacey C. Says:

    Another vote for NYC!

    Denver. Come on! It’s a hub!




  26. Leslie Says:

    Washington DC!




  27. Magpie Says:

    San Francisco!




  28. Leah Says:

    I put in a fifth for washington and reemphasize how superfantastic it would be for the big girls to make a grand entrance at the french embassy christmas ball. Or someone else’s ball. Someone is always throwing a party on embassy row, and it makes a sufficient additional excuse for us to get pretty.




  29. MsChilePepper Says:

    Seattle, baby! I will even make you shiny things!




  30. Becs Says:

    Another vote for Washington, DC!

  34. rosarita Says:

    Chicago, for sure!!




  35. Lunadog Says:

    Vancouver, BC, please! It’s fairly warm here but you’ll need to bring your wellies!




  36. Karen B. Says:

    Chicago! We need that dose of big girl style in the Big Windy!




  37. Lucy Says:

    Chicago!!!




  38. kimocean Says:

    LA! There’s so much good plus sized shopping here and the weather’s pretty darn good too!




  39. class-factotum Says:

    Am I the only Memphis reader?? Memphis! Elvis! BBQ! Beale St!

    If not that, then Milwaukee or someplace close, like Chicago. (My boyfriend is in MKE and I am there a lot.)




  40. rasaroni Says:

    It’s beautiful in Phoenix this time of year!




  41. Sarah Says:

    I’m another vote for our nation’s capital! Bring some fabulousness to Washington DC!




  42. Laura Says:

    I already voted for Austin. Does this count as two? Ha!




  43. geekgirl Says:

    DC or Baltimore…yay!




  44. Jennie Says:

    If we’re playing the song game…”In your mind you’re goin to Carolinaaaa”! Am I the only shoe loving fashionista in the South???? Ladies please write in and be heard!!!




  45. Audrey Says:

    Portland, please!




  46. Meg Says:

    Denver!




  47. Christine Says:

    New York!




  48. Phyllis Says:

    Charleston, SC. You’ll love it there. You’ll want to stay. Everyone does.




  49. stillnadine Says:

    Greenville, South Carolina, please (yah, not likely but we have a great Talbot’s Womans Petites!!)




  50. stillnadine Says:

    Hi, Phyllis (waving madly!). Charleston, SC would work for me, too!




  51. Tungsten Says:

    Chicago! It’s the best place in the Midwest–very accessible.




  52. dangermouse Says:

    Another vote for Seattle - though, I say wait till summer. Locals love the spring, but ya can’t rely on sunny days until at least July.




  53. Abbey Says:

    Oh, I would be delighted if you did a Canadian leg of your tour and stopped in Winnipeg, MB. It’s cold, but lovely.




  54. jessica Says:

    i second winnipeg, manitoba, canada! we love you up here!




  55. Canadian Chick Says:

    decisions decisions

    i’d be thrilled with Seattle or Portland

    I’d LOVE Vancouver, BC

    If you went to Winnipeg in April, I could see you then (hey! It’s Before Mosquito Season then)

    Or Halifax in June?

    *lol*




  56. JayKay Says:

    San Francisco! San Francisco! San Francisco!




  57. Joyce Says:

    kimocean is correct! LA is the place. No snow, no cold. Lots of real women!




  58. Neller Says:

    I’m going to throw out a third vote for Minneapolis/St. Paul. The TWIN CITIES. Two birds with one stone, no?




  59. megaera Says:

    I second the vote for Houston, promising I’ll bring peoples!!!!!




  60. Kimks Says:

    If we are playing the Song Game…..

    Phil-a-delphia Freedom….

    Seriously, ladies NYC is Great, DC is Awesome, as is Baltimore. LA would be cool- my BF Lives there, and some sort of Family everywhere else listed (huge family, what can I say) But I really think we need to pay homage to the city that gave us Patty LaBell, Will Smith, Bill Cosby, Cheesteaks, The best soft pretzels in the world, and oh yeah, a couple little things like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Got to love a town that produced the words “The Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”
    I know its my second vote, but hey




  61. Henny Penny Says:

    Chicago!




  62. De Says:

    Another vote for Austin :D….

    But I can do Dallas or Houston if its a weekend!




  63. Judy Says:

    Another plea for South Carolina! Charleston, Columbia, GREENVILLE!! Pretty please?




  64. Jessica J Says:

    I vote for Sarasota, FL or Tampa, I’m here with you Mango, Florida all the way!




  65. teteatete Says:

    Kimks, I think the people more so than the town itself produced such wonderful words ;) But kudos for such an eloquent case..but what about cream cheese?




  66. Kristin Says:

    Chicago!




  67. Jimmy Chou Chou Chou Me Says:

    Washington D.C.!




  68. RachelH Says:

  73. Elisabeth Says:

    Another vote for Austin!
