Fit #2 with ASOS Curve

Date: 2010.03.18 | Category: ASOS Curve, Plus-size Fashion | Response: 8

Hello Vansters!

I hope you’re all doing well. I have been asked by various readers to document my days with ASOS as their FIT model for their CURVE brand. So we’ll skip last week’s because it was all a bit of a blur – an exciting one, but still a blur!

Yesterday I was introduced to more members of the team but the most consistent member I’m working with is Jennifer who is the Senior Garment Tech for the range and she is a fabulous lady to work with. I instantly warmed to her as a person, her passion for the brand and her desire to give full figured women fantastic well made clothes to wear. She’s a breath of fresh air!

Curvy Divas (and Princes),

I would love for you all to go visit my friends over at 100percentpeople.com
I mentioned their petition before and I know you are all like, ‘oh no V – not another bloody petition.’ But listen, if we didn’t have these things no one would really give a hoot what we fuller figured Divas and Princes thought about many topics. We move mountains when we unite!

Far From the Madding Crowd – with Maury Sterling

Date: 2010.03.15 | Category: Inspirational people, Motivaton, The Industry | Response: 0

I wanted to share this interview with you because of all the people I’ve interviewed this person is one of my favourites. I found it the other day. The site it was on no longer exists – hence the reposting.

Another reason why I’m posting it here is to show you that not all Hollywood actors are stuck up their own behinds.

Maury Sterling is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

You may recognise his face? He’s done a lot of TV and most recently he’s been in Smokin’ Aces 1 & 2 and just completed the film version of the A-Team.

I feel a dinner party with Maury and the gang is way overdue – maybe when I’m in LA in summer we will make it happen!
