C.U.R.V.V. Coverage On Plus Model Magazine

My ChaCha Dollz!!!

We have had an out pour of support and love for the C.U.R.V.V. Fashion Exhibit from so many writers and bloggers. I truly appreciate everyone who has taken the time to spread the word about our initiative to bring full-figured high-fashion into existence. We have some great things planned for the future and I hope you continue to join us on this journey.

The C.U.R.V.V. Movement

:::Friends, Family and Supporters:::

The C.U.R.V.V. Fashion Exhibit at the University of Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology 

It has been 15 days since the C.U.R.V.V. Fashion Exhibit in Philadelphia and I am still on a C.U.R.V.V. high. One would think that I would be the first blogger to write about it especially since it was my exhibit, but I just needed some time to regroup and focus on some tasks I have neglected during the planning process of C.U.R.V.V.

I am sincerely overjoyed by the support and love that was shown to me and my team during the exhibit. We worked so hard to pull everything together and I couldn’t have selected a better group of ladies to work with. The obstacles we had to overcome made this event nothing short of a miracle. Who knew that filming and editing a movie, planning a fashion exhibit at a museum, working a full-time job and running a business all at the same time with only 3 short months to plan would be so overwhelming? We did! And we were all up for the challenge. Because of this, the trending hash-tag is now #CURVVswerve. C.U.R.V.V. Swerve definition: (noun) any opposer that attempts to delay or halt the growth of an individual. This word can also describe the actions of an antagonist “throwing shade”, demonstrating jealousy or diligently working to make sure one does not succeed. Additional terms, hash-tags and phrases that originated through the production process of “C.U.R.V.V.” are “The Struggle”, “The Struggle Is Real”, “The Struggle Is Too Real” and “The Bearded Wonder” amongst other clever and witty sayings...Yea I know, what does this all mean? Once the outtakes are posted on C.U.R.V.V. TV you all will be able to fully understand and laugh along. 

A lot of people have asked if the movie will be posted on C.U.R.V.V. TV anytime soon and the answer is unfortunately not.The movie is in the process of being revamped. "C.U.R.V.V." will official premiere June 2014. We are looking to receive backing to make it a feature film in the latter part of 2014 *Fingers Crossed...Prayers Up*.

Now I could try to put the C.U.R.V.V. experience into words, but I think it would be better to let you view the images from the C.U.R.V.V. festivities to get a real feel for the atmosphere and tone of the event.

Fashion Blogging o_O

I need your help!!!

 Confession: I want to take my fashion blogging seriously, but I don't want to feel obligated to be dressed up and wear makeup everytime people see me...Is that the fashion blogger rule? Sometimes I just don't feel like it...
What do you think?

Anyway...I will be starting my DIY Fashion Series on C.U.R.V.V. TV very soon!!! I'm super excited. Send over any suggestions for tutorials you would like to see to curvvtv@gmail.com. Talk to you guys soon =)
