Pinkblitz Magazine's September 2014 Issue

I could no longer be the girl that wore baggy low cut jean shorts, heavy metal band T’s and of course the odd coloured black and red converse high tops. During my time on Idol, the stylist would ask me what kind of clothes I liked and I said “boys clothes and anything that will fit me from Tree Of Life” (a hippie shop here in Australia) as that was not only what I was used to wearing but the only clothes that would fit.

My fashion sense back then was a little skater meets rock gothic punk with my added dreadlocks and black eyeliner – which really was not going to work on Idol!

I was a size 18/20 (Aus) back then so it shouldn’t have been as hard as it was to find clothes and styles that were fitting to my age – but it was. It was almost impossible.

Fashion was not on my side unless I wanted to look like a pastel coloured Pavlova on a summer’s day. Shopping for me was not fun.

It was merely a chore that I had to do so that I wouldn’t walk around in my birthday suit.

But how things have changed! The last few years has seen the plus size market grow with great brands, great styles and fashion-forward items that are super trendy and look super hot on all us Big, Beautiful and Sexy girls.

I love shopping now! I love wearing colour! I love all the accessories! I love stepping out the door and KNOWING I look amazing!

“Plus size” clothing has really evolved and has put Big, Beautiful and Sexy girls on the map.

It’s about time the fashion world realized we have money to spend and we want to look a million bucks even if we are just going to the supermarket!

I am here to share my life with you all. From Plus Size Fashion to Sex nothing is off limits. I want to help you to be happy and confident in your own skin, to look and feel great and to feel the positive vibes! Until next month!
