PLUS TEEN USA

PLUS TEEN USA

DEMAND FULFILLED WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF REGIONAL PAGEANTS

“Promoting Inner Beauty, Self-Acceptance, and Confidence That Permeates Outwardly”

For Immediate Release
P- 817-317-1992
Contact: Jacqueline Lawrence, National Director
Email: plusteenusa@yahoo.com

United States- Because 50% of teenage girls in the United States are either already plus sized, or on the verge of becoming plus sized, Plus Teen USA acknowledged the need for a pageant and self-esteem building conference exclusively for plus size teens; its mission- to embrace, celebrate, empower, and transform plus teens across America.

The project works to help beautiful young ladies not get caught up in the lie that they are not worthy of the acceptance, recognition, celebration, and inspiration in which their thinner counterparts enjoy, but that they, too, deserve self-love, life fulfillment, and a pageant experience to express their own unique beauty.

The Plus Teen USA pageant, which promotes healthy living, gives young ladies an opportunity to collaborate with like minded youth, create lasting friendships, and to have a place in the beauty and fashion industry. The contestant crowned Plus Teen USA will be selected among young ladies ages 13 – 19, who wear a size 12 and above.

Plus Teen USA 2009, America’s first pageant and conference exclusively for plus size teens, was held during the weekend of October 23-25 in the DFW Metroplex, and was attended by the Style Network’s “RUBY”, who mentored the contestants and encouraged them to live life now in the skin they’re in. Sharon Quinn, also known as “The Original Runway Diva” from all three seasons of Oxygen’s MoNique’s Fat Chance, was the featured speaker and modeling trainer. Lynae Tucker from Grand Rapids, South Dakota took the crown.

Responding to the growing need for plus teens to recognize their inner beauty while becoming confident from the inside, out, Jacqueline Lawrence, founder and CEO, launched four Regional Pageants, which will be held during the month of July, 2010 in the cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York, along with the National Pageant and Conference, which will again be held in the DFW Metroplex in October.

Plus teens across America will walk away with a renewed sense of self esteem, self awareness, self image, self acceptance… SELF. Plus Teen Regional titleholders will earn their region’s crown, and one plus size beauty will walk away with the title of Plus Teen USA 2010, a beautiful crown, a minimum $500.00 scholarship, the opportunity to represent plus teens all over the nation, and numerous other fantastic prizes.

Plus size teens interested in participating in a life transforming experience are encouraged to register online today to become contestants at www.plusteenusa.com.

Plus Size Diva Spotlight and Company Spotlight

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

As many of you know I do a spotlight page for those Plus Size Diva’s that are well..awesome. LOL This month I have put up a new one. Her name is TroJah. One reason I picked her is that she has went a step further than just being a good role model and loving her curves.

She has an organization called Elite Plus Inc. You can visit it here: Elite Plus Inc

With her organization she is helping the young and the old to come together (sort of like a sisterhood) to get solutions to daily problems and teach (as well as learn) how to channel the negative energy into positive aspects of life.

Their mission statement which I love is:

Our deepest passion is getting Full Figured women and young girls to understand that we have a place in this world; and its at the top. Elite Plus desire is to recruit women who are confident in their own skin and be a seed of hope to those who struggle daily with the concept of self-love. We want to discover a new way of living life, and ultimately live a happy, healthy, and prosperous one.

Take time to check out her website! It’s such a wonderful idea and can’t wait to see where she takes her organization!

Diva of the Month

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I just wanted to post a quick note about the Diva of the Month. I’ve had issues getting in touch with people once they make their submissions, so instead of a monthly plus size diva. I’ve changed it to a Spotlight.

So from now there will be periodic Spotlights on Plus Size Diva’s. You can still use the link for the Diva of the Month to apply to be in the Plus Size Diva Spotlight.

Be sure to visit the newest Spotlight member Joan: http://www.plus-size-diva.com/plus-size-diva-joan/

If you live in the UK, the Channel Isles or the Republic of Ireland you should take a minute and check out Marisota

They’ve got some really cute things. Their customer support department is very helpful. I emailed them to see if they shipped internationally and currently they do not. They only ship to the above mentioned areas. So if you are in any of these areas and haven’t checked them out recently, I recommend you stop by for a bit of shopping!
