I’m from St. Louis–it would be wonderful to see y’all here, or somewhere in reasonable driving distance (Chicago, KC)
December 4th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Re-commenting for New York, yo.
December 4th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
New York!
December 4th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Chicago!
December 4th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
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.
December 4th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Washington, DC!
December 4th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
I vote for somewhere in the Cleveland area!
December 4th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
Please come to fabulous Seattle! Although you may want to wait until springtime…
December 4th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Sarasota or Tampa, FL.
December 4th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
I am in Central New Jersey, so I vote for either NYC or Philly. Or both!
December 4th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
I’m with Lesley - NY, PHL, or both!
December 4th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
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. :)
December 4th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Seattle! I’d even drive down to Portland for a weekend event. (Though, as Lucky said above, you might want to wait until spring…)
December 4th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
You should so come to St. Louis.
December 4th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Washington, DC!
December 4th, 2007 at 2:21 pm
NYC, please!!
December 4th, 2007 at 2:21 pm
Portland! :)
December 4th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
Philly- Pretty please-
December 4th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
Philly!
December 4th, 2007 at 2:59 pm
Washington D.C. or Baltimore!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Minneapolis/St Paul! But I’d fit in a visit to another midwestern city if you did…
December 4th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
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!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
Washington, DC!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Another vote for NYC!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Denver. Come on! It’s a hub!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Washington DC!
December 4th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
San Francisco!
December 4th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
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.
December 4th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
Seattle, baby! I will even make you shiny things!
December 4th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Another vote for Washington, DC!
December 4th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
I’d settle for NYC or Philly, if you really can’t make it to NJ. How You Doin’?
December 4th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Washington DC
December 4th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Please come to Boston for the wintertime… (sing with me!)
December 4th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Chicago, for sure!!
December 4th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
Vancouver, BC, please! It’s fairly warm here but you’ll need to bring your wellies!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
Chicago! We need that dose of big girl style in the Big Windy!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Chicago!!!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
LA! There’s so much good plus sized shopping here and the weather’s pretty darn good too!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:48 pm
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.)
December 4th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
It’s beautiful in Phoenix this time of year!
December 4th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
I’m another vote for our nation’s capital! Bring some fabulousness to Washington DC!
December 4th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
I already voted for Austin. Does this count as two? Ha!
December 4th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
DC or Baltimore…yay!
December 4th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
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!!!
December 4th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
Portland, please!
December 4th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Denver!
December 4th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
New York!
December 4th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
Charleston, SC. You’ll love it there. You’ll want to stay. Everyone does.
December 4th, 2007 at 10:20 pm
Greenville, South Carolina, please (yah, not likely but we have a great Talbot’s Womans Petites!!)
December 4th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
Hi, Phyllis (waving madly!). Charleston, SC would work for me, too!
December 4th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
Chicago! It’s the best place in the Midwest–very accessible.
December 4th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
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.
December 4th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Oh, I would be delighted if you did a Canadian leg of your tour and stopped in Winnipeg, MB. It’s cold, but lovely.
December 5th, 2007 at 12:04 am
i second winnipeg, manitoba, canada! we love you up here!
December 5th, 2007 at 12:14 am
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*
December 5th, 2007 at 12:22 am
San Francisco! San Francisco! San Francisco!
December 5th, 2007 at 1:01 am
kimocean is correct! LA is the place. No snow, no cold. Lots of real women!
December 5th, 2007 at 1:56 am
I’m going to throw out a third vote for Minneapolis/St. Paul. The TWIN CITIES. Two birds with one stone, no?
December 5th, 2007 at 5:00 am
I second the vote for Houston, promising I’ll bring peoples!!!!!
December 5th, 2007 at 8:04 am
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
December 5th, 2007 at 8:22 am
Chicago!
December 5th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Another vote for Austin :D….
But I can do Dallas or Houston if its a weekend!
December 5th, 2007 at 10:07 am
Another plea for South Carolina! Charleston, Columbia, GREENVILLE!! Pretty please?
December 5th, 2007 at 10:24 am
I vote for Sarasota, FL or Tampa, I’m here with you Mango, Florida all the way!
December 5th, 2007 at 10:42 am
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?
December 5th, 2007 at 11:16 am
Chicago!
December 5th, 2007 at 11:24 am
Washington D.C.!
December 5th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
Chicago would be wonderful!
December 5th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Seattle!!
December 5th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Chicago, please!
December 5th, 2007 at 7:52 pm
Boston, baby, all the cool kids hang there!
December 6th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Another request for Chicago! There’s fantastic big girl shopping at Vive La Femme to be had here.
December 7th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
Another vote for Austin!
December 9th, 2007 at 3:26 am
Washington DC!! (Not Baltimore, for the love of all that’s holy.)
