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.

Bara Luxe by Marimo USA is a collection of beautifully designed couture gowns that showcase some of the most sophisticated and flattering silhouettes to ensure a proper fit for a full figured bride.

Bridal gown sample sizes have typically been a diminutive 6 or 8, sometimes a 10 but that left out the bride who was size 16 and over. This full figure customer was deprived of seeing how she would look in her selection before her first fitting. Enter Bara Luxe by Marimo USA. This couture bridal collection is designed with proper proportions and features gowns that specifically cater to
the special needs of a plus size bride. This collection comes in luxurious fabrics and laces and will provide bridal
retailers such as Macy’s with a larger sample for brides to try on. For the first time, Macy’s can offer the full figured customer the opportunity to try on her dream dress before she orders it.

WHO/WHAT: The Bridal Salon of Macy’s will host a trunk show of full figure couture bridal gowns at their location featuring bridal gowns by BARA LUXE by Marimo USA.

On January 23rd and 24th, Bara Luxe will provide size 16W, 20W, 24W and 28W samples for try ons. In addition, consumers will also be given 10% off gowns that are ordered during the show. Price of gowns range from $1,500 to $4,000.

WHEN: January 23rd & 24th, 2009
10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday
