Greetings from Full Figured Fashion Week!

Last night was another fun night… the runway competition was really fun. I’m super tired, but I wanted to give you some updates on the weekend and what’s going on.

First of all, I’m running a giveaway on Twitter! Figuresque dressed me for FFFWeek last night and I got a lot of compliments on my ensemble. They’ve got a great store and lots of fun clothes and they’re offering a $50 gift card to one lucky reader. All you have to do is Tweet “I follow @thebiggirlblog for #sonsifffweek & @Figuresque for #plussize #fashion!” and you’re entered to win!

Secondly, I got an email last week saying that Gemini Magazine, an Atlanta-based “curve-friendly” publication, and full figured fashion retail giant, Lane Bryant, are hosting an afternoon of cocktails and “intimate” fashion chat featuring the newest collection of Cacique® lingerie at the store’s Herald Square (NYC) location on June 19th—dedicated to helping full figured women to create a sexier, more beautiful self.

Sommer Johnson, publisher of Gemini Magazine is someone I met via Twitter, we became email friends, phone friends and she even gives me wake-up calls when I need to work out in the morning. I’m so excited to have her in NYC I feel like my Mom is coming to visit!She has a huge heart and she’s a beautiful person who is very dear to my heart even though we’ve never actually met!

So if you have time on Saturday at 1pm, you should pay her a visit, get some bras from Lane Bryant (I think its their Semi-Annual sale) and sip cocktails. When you see Sommer tell her that CeCe sent you!

Okay, I’m going to try to get some rest… I’ll check in with you later!
