I just wanted to publish this little post to apologize to all the regulars for the hap-hazard posting these past few weeks.
August has been a very busy month; with lots of activities going on, lots of social events to attend and added responsibilities at work, my days have been quite full. But I hope things will settle down as the Fall comes around and September creeps in.
So keep on reading the Plus Size Clothing Scoop, I will keep on working on updating you as much as possible, and hopefully I will get back to my daily and usual posting routine very soon. In the meantime have a Happy Labor Day!

I know this is somewhat overdue; however I wanted to do a little post about this year’s brand new Miss F.A.T. 2006, Tanisha Malone. I am sure that every plus size women has heard of the unique curvy pageant that has recently hit out TV screens (and also the web)… Mo’nique’s FAT Chance.
Well Mo’nique FAT Chance has this year come back with a bang! The show has matured and has in my opinion grown stronger. This show is so great, in the sense that it helps those plus size ladies who feel down because of their image, think again and say “Hey, I’m curvy and I’m sexy!”. That is exactly what it makes me feel and I’m sure most of you feel the same way.
This year’s winner is Miss Tanisha Malone, who hails from Newark, New Jersey. This 28 year old lady surely has a very exciting road ahead of her. Working as an assistant for a medical examiner, Tanisha loves to sign and read poetry, besides serving as a motivational speaker for teens.
An overview of all contestants will follow soon, and we will also hopefully get some up close and personal interviews for you all. So keep reading the scoop!
This show must definitely go on!

At least they are online. New Zealanders are doing what a lot of plus size Americans have been doing for the past couple of year to find clothes in their size… flocking to the Internet. This article featured on Stuff.co.nz speaks about exactly this issue.
