O, O!

Look! The October issue of O Magazine has a feature on where to shop for larger sizes:

This image was taken from the website of our friends at Kiyonna.com, who are included in the feature. The blouse mentioned in O is available here.

Here is the cover:

The headline says: “YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE THIN to be gorgeous: The knockout clothes that prove it.”

Of course, they also have the obligatory diet ideas but still . . . Kudos to Oprah and her staff for being plus-size friendly. Keep it coming, with more, similar features and lots of plus-size models!

Big Girls in Art: Nakata

Here is a vivid image by artist John K. Nakata:

“Spice Woman”

Francesca thinks that this Spice Woman would have many interesting stories to tell.

She also wishes she could reach into the painting and grab some of that paprika!

(A poster print of this image is available from our friends at Barewalls, here.)
