WICKED’S PRESS TOUR: A SPELLBINDING FASHION FEUD IN GREEN AND PINK
OH, DARLING, THE WICKED PRESS TOUR IS A TECHNICOLOR DREAM OR A SASSY SHOWDOWN BETWEEN GLINDA’S SUGARY PINK AND ELPHABA’S SASSY EMERALD GREEN
IT’S AS IF BARBIE CRASHED INTO OZ, WITH EACH ENSEMBLE WINKING AT THEIR MAGICAL RIVALRY. ROM GOWNS THAT SCREAM “FAIRY GODMOTHER CHIC” TO GREEN THAT’S SO FIERCE IT MIGHT HEX YOU,
THE TOUR IS A FASHION TUG-OF-WAR AND WE’RE SPELLBOUND.
WHO WINS? WE DO!
BECAUSE LET’S DIG INTO THE FABULOUS LOOKS, OF COURSE, IN PLUS SIZE!
Interesting question. I grew up with the advice... make sure you don’t have holes in your underwear and that you have clean underwear, just in case you get in an accident.
That was my mother’s way of saying make sure your underwear are buttoned up. (Both look and feel)
Well my view is somewhat different...with the same result. The closest thing to you, is your underwear, so why not make sure not only that it matches but it is also special, ie lacy, delicate, sexy.
Completely Be Sexy not just on the outside but on the inside too.
Wear what makes you feel special. Enjoy the softness of the lace....marvel at your curves from being enveloped in the essence of delicate uniqueness. Enjoy how the lace lays on the skin. Seek out colors that align with your personal color palette.
After all, would you walk outside with shoes that don’t match your clothing?
Hey CurvyFab,
From birth, most of us have heard the urban myth that curvy girls are “less than”, “not good as” which builds momentum in our minds because we begin to recite the same stories to ourselves... “Can’t you lose a little weight” or you would be pretty if you just XYZ?
Well stop it! Know those are messages from people that envy you! Have you noticed how much BBL are big business, how breast enlargements are the “in” thing...
Embrace your curves, What is the most beautiful is to captivate with confidence. Every women has created the story of what they think is beautiful in their mind...
Know that what you are calling flaws is beauty to someone: let it be YOU first!
Accentuate the areas that you love, take time looking at all your uniqueness, how you walk in the room sets the stage for the prowess you exemplify. Don’t feed the myth! You are beautiful just the way you are!
SAVE YOUR GLOW, DARLING! WINTER SKIN?
MORE LIKE WITHERED SKIN! COLD WINDS AND INDOOR HEAT CONSPIRE TO TURN YOUR DEWY GLOW INTO A DESERT RUDE, RIGHT? BUT FEAR NOT, SKINCARE SAVIOR.
FIRST, LAYER UP!
THINK OF YOUR FACE AS A FASHIONABLE ONION: CLEANSER, HYDRATING SERUM, RICH MOISTURIZER, AND SPF (YES, IN WINTER!).
DRINK WATER LIKE YOU’RE HYDRATING FOR A MARATHON DRY AIR IS A THIRSTY THIEF.
ADD A HUMIDIFIER FOR THAT DEWY “I WAKE UP FLAWLESS” VIBE. AND EXFOLIATE GENTLY, DARLING; WE’RE POLISHING DIAMONDS, NOT SCRUBBING PANS. WINTER MAY BITE, BUT YOUR GLOW WILL BITE BACK. SNOW QUEEN?

Who says plus-size women can’t be sexy and demure?

Hey CurvyFab,
oHowdoyoutellyour thertheyhaveasme don’tlike
Interesting and this is tough to answer but we got you!
First, whether it is a bad smell or that they wear too much cologne or perfume the output is the same you don’t like the ambience of their scent.
Here are some options for you. First, play in the shower with them make it play time...and as a course of action make sure they wash the sensitive areas.
Find a scent you like...and gift it to them. Make it a date to go shopping and conviently go by the cologne section, do a try and buy
Make a scent...there are a lot of places that allow you to make your own scents...make it a date night...and call it your special scent made specially for the two of you.
rvyFab,
Age appropriate? What does that mean?
I hear people talk about things like this all the time...
Appropriate, Size Appropriate, Old School, New School looks etc.
First Queen, you are free to BE YOU, THINK YOU, SHOW YOU...
There is no such thing as Age, Size, Old School, New School. Wear what is comfortable and what exemplifies who YOU are!
y is Confidence! No One will question if you stand tall and radiate in oom. They will be saying Look at Her...wow she looks great. She is
Owning those clothes and that look.
From the words of the Accidental Icon
Apfel wrote that “if your hair is done properly and you’re wearing hoes, you can get away with ANYTHING.” I’m not sure about getting with ANYTHING, but being fearless in how you dress can make you ess, or at least seem that way. Ultimately, it’s not about the clothes themselves, but how you feel when you wear them.

Sinful Decadence:
Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake
Milk Shaken Not Stirred:
Ferrero Rocher Milk Shake
Regular & Adult Remix
A Fruitful Surprise:
Ferrero Rocher Fondue
REGULAR VERSION
Prepare the Hazelnuts:
Reserve 12 whole hazelnuts for the center of the chocolates. Chop the remaining hazelnuts finely and set aside.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and the whole hazelnut
Shape the Balls:
1 cup hazelnuts, roasted and peeled
1/2 cup Nutella or any hazelnut spread
1/4 cup crushed wafer cookies
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts, for coating
SUGAR FREE VERSION
1 cup hazelnuts, roasted and peeled
1/2 cup sugar-free hazelnut spread (e.g., made with erythritol or monk fruit)
1/4 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Take a small amount of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and flatten it slightly. Place a whole hazelnut in the center and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture and hazelnuts.
Coat the Balls:
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring it’s fully coated. Roll immediately in the chopped hazelnuts and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate the Ferrero Rocher alternatives for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate hardens.Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts, for coating
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until done. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Assemble the Pancakes:
Stack the pancakes on a plate. Spread a thin layer of warmed Nutella or hazelnut spread between each pancake layer.
Add Toppings:
Drizzle more Nutella over the stack. Top with chopped Ferrero Rochers, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts & Granola if desired. For extra indulgence, drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm with a fork and knife. Enjoy the rich, nutty decadence!
Tip: If you want extra Ferrero Rocher flavor in the batter, chop 2 Ferrero Rochers finely and fold them into the pancake batter before cooking.
For the Pancakes:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk (or hazelnut milk for extra flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
For the Toppings:
6-8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped
Nutella or hazelnut spread, warmed slightly
Whipped cream
Crushed hazelnuts (optional) for extra crunch Granola (optional)
Chocolate syrup (optional)
Ingredients
8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)
a dash of cinnamon (optional)
Dipping Items:
Fresh strawberries
Banana slices
Marshmallows
Pretzels
Cubed pound cake
Apple slices
In a medium saucepan or fondue pot, combine the heavy cream and chopped Ferrero Rochers. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolates begin to melt. Add the chocolate chips and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add Flavor: Stir in vanilla & lemon extract for an extra touch of flavor and cinnamon if desired.
Transfer to Fondue Pot:
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a heated fondue pot to keep it warm and smooth during serving.
Prepare Dipping Items:
Arrange strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pretzels, pound cake cubes, and apple slices on a platter around the fondue pot.
Serve:
Provide skewers or fondue forks for dipping, and let everyone enjoy the indulgent blend of chocolate and hazelnut.
Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9inch (23cm) springform pan to form a firm crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy Add the Nutella and beat until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
Fold in the chopped Ferrero Rochers to evenly distribute them throughout the filling. Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.
Decorate the Cheesecake:
Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the top with warmed Nutella, letting it drip down the sides for a decadent look
Arrange halved Ferrero Rocher chocolates on top and sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts if desired. Serve:
Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, nutty Ferrero Rocher indulgence!
For the Crust:
2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos without the cream)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, finely chopped
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Nutella or hazelnut spread
For the Topping:
6-8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, halved or crushed 1/2 cup Nutella, warmed slightly Crushed hazelnuts (optional)
8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (plus 1-2 extra for garnish)
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream (for extra richness, use chocolate ice cream)
2 tablespoons of hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Whipped cream (for topping)
Crushed hazelnuts (for garnish, optional)
Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Drizzle the inside of two glasses with chocolate syrup, creating a swirled effect. Place the glasses in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the milkshake.
In a blender, combine the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, milk, vanilla ice cream, hazelnut spread, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker milkshake, add an extra scoop of ice cream or reduce the milk slightly.
Taste the milkshake and adjust sweetness if necessary. Add more hazelnut spread for a richer flavor or more milk to thin it out.
Pour the milkshake into the prepared glasses. Leave a little room at the top for garnishes.
Garnish
Top each milkshake with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts for added crunch, if desired. Place a Ferrero Rocher on top of the whipped cream or on the rim of the glass for a luxurious touch.
Ferrero Rocher Milk Shake
Adult Remix
Blend the Milkshake
In a blender, combine the Ferrero Rochers, milk, ice cream, hazelnut liqueur, coffee liqueur, and Nutella (if using).
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Glasses:
Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glasses for a decorative swirl. Place the glasses in the freezer for a few minutes to set the syrup.
Assemble the Milkshake: Pour the milkshake into the prepared glasses. Leave some room at the top for garnishes.
Add Garnishes:
Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts and drizzle with more chocolate syrup.
Garnish with a Ferrero Rocher chocolate on top or place one on the rim of the glass.
Serve:
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your decadent, boozy treat!
6 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, plus 1-2 for garnish
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (or hazelnut milk for extra flavor)

ANTHONY FRAZER CREATIVE MELODI
In the '90s, plus-size women were celebrated at size 6/8 now in 2024, plus-size models start at 12/14, that’s showing some progress. However, paradoxically, more stores are discontinuing their plus-size departments.
This regression undermines the strides made towards inclusivity. We demand change!
Plus-size women are not a fleeting trend; we represent 60+% of the female population.
The fashion industry must embrace diversity and ensure all women have access to stylish, well-fitting clothing.
It’s time to prioritize inclusivity over profit margins. Let’s make it stop!
Curvy Fabs let’s support brands that champion all body types and advocate for a fashion landscape that celebrates every curve.
