Ok, so I am utterly irritated right now! I’m in one of my moods today. I am getting dressed for work. I started going through my pants. Bad idea on a day like today…but anyways, I’ve read a lot of different articles about buying the right pants for your figure..don’t do this, do this, buy these, don’t buy these…

I have to say, when you are a full figured shorter woman…buying pants just flat our SUCKS!

I prefer bootleg or flare, depending on the amount of flare..lol I also have some of Lane Bryants straight leg which I like too. I don’t think any of them actually look right on me…I am short but hate petite fit pants. ESPECIALLY if they are flare. It’s like they come in at the knee and then balloon back out and they make me look short and frumpy. I can’t stand looking short and frumpy…but if I go with average then they drag the ground most of the time and I tear the bottoms up.

Even my dress pants are like this. I’ve even had some altered and still hate how they look! I’ve come to the conclusion that when I shop, I’m not going to look at anything other than how my butt looks in them…if my butt looks good I am buying them…LOL!

I have some really great pants, jeans etc…but I don’t wear most of them cause I hate how they look.

One thing I will say…If I wear heels with my jeans, they look better than if I wear some other kind of shoe, but who the hell wants to wear heels all of the time…

Ok, just had to get that off my chest…lol

Tell me…when you buy your pants/jeans what do you look for? Are there certain styles you like better?

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/

Since I can’t seem to remember to post this every month on time, I have decided to post a page for the entry. You can visit it at any time to enter for the contest.

Please be sure to use an email that you can be reached at. I haven’t posted a new diva in a couple of months because from the entries that I have received, none have contacted me upon winning, even after I have emailed them.

If you are not interested in it, please don’t enter because you waste the opportunity for someone who wants their voice heard.

Also, you can enter once a month. So if you don’t get notified one month, don’t get discouraged. Come back and do it again! Some times it’s so hard to pick!

To get to the Contest Entry page you can visit: http://www.plus-size-diva.com/plus-size-diva-contest/

I wanted to take a minute and give some ‘Thanks’ to FloRida..I seen him perform last night on So You Think You Can Dance, and I noticed that his back up dancers were thick! I think it’s great that he has thick dancers performing with him! Props to you!

It just goes to show you….you don’t have to be stick thin to achieve your dream!

I sooo dread this time of year! LOL I love it, yet hate it all at the same time! I need a new swimsuit but dread having to pick one out!

I found this cute one on Torrid.com If you go to Swimsuits it’s the blue and black polka dot one. I just can’t decide if I really want that one or not…LOL Do I want anymore ‘dots’ on me?

Any ways, I am counting the days down to my vacation at the beach! I think we are at 22 days and counting! Woot Woot! I will be spending a full glorious week on the beach doing nothing but sipping margarita’s! I love being able to take my work with me! LOL

Hi Guys,

I am sure some of you are wondering why no March Featured Diva has been put up. I notified the contestant, but have not heard back and although there were some great entries, I want to give the winner their page at the beginning of each month so I did not select another.

I am asking that if you enter the contest and are notified that you are the winner, to be please get back to me within 2 days, even if it’s just to say you got the notification and will get back to.

Ladies, your entries have been phenomenal and I look forward to getting them because each of you have been special and inspiring!

If you would like me to pull your contest form from a previous month, feel free to shoot me a message and I will move your form into the current month’s contest.

I will be posting the entry form for April in the next few minutes. Pass the information along to your friends if you have someone that you think would be a great Plus-Size-Diva of the month!
