Size Acceptance Club Opens in Reno
Couple Tony Piersanti and Jean Olson, who have been dating for a year, have last week opened up a brand new plus size nightclub in Reno. They opened up this club for people of every size to come along and have a good time.
Being quite a ‘different’ couple, Tony being much thinner than Jean, they both wanted to provide people of every shape and size with somewhere they can go to, relax, enjoy themselves and just be who they are.
I think this is a great iniative this great couple has taken, and it is great for everyone in the Reno area to have a new club to socialize it.
For further details on the club, opening hours and how to get there visit Tony and Jean at http://www.clubpluslife.com.

Demystifying Bras
I have been away on business (and pleasure) for the past couple of weeks, and this week has just been filled with catching up both at work and at home. Exhausted is such an understatement right now! But finally I get the chance to sit back and do some interesting (and fun) type of catching up – reading up on all the missed posts on my feed readers. I’ve missed quite a bit I must say… there has been some excellent posts lately.
A particular one which caught my eye was Glen’s post about 17 types of bras. I am very particular about my bras, and of course am aware that there are different types of bras. But having an actual list laid out in front of your is a completely different story! Bras for every occassion, personality, outfit… you name it, there’s bound to be a special bra made for it!

So think of curvy Halloween costume shopping at Torrid, as the place where you have the cream of the crop laid out in front out you. The costumes shortlisting has already been carried out, so all you have to do is pick your choice from the best option available. It’s that easy.
Here is a run down of the eight fun costumes Torrid has prepared for plus size women this year:

So this year, do not get caught without a costume. Make sure you select your favorite, and if you’d like to give your costume the complete look, then do check out the vast accessories Torrid also has to offer, to match the costumes. This will ensure your look is complete to stun and impress!
