Macys' INC Woman has very cute clothes. Torrid has some funkier styles if you like that. Fashion Bug.

hi! hehe i just wanted to say i think i should develop.. a clothing line for plus sized models? i mean doesn't that sound great! .. im also thinking i should develop.. a teen magazine for black girls… i mean we have cosmo girl, and 17.. but i think it would really be nice… if we had something for people my age… and my color… anyone thinks this is cool? yes or no?

I understand that most magazines use more white girls than any other colour in their photos, but what difference would it make in the articles? Are you suggesting that the articles will exclusively talk about black girls? What would be different? Why exclude the rest of the world? I think that your idea is racist

I definitely agree with the clothing line for the plus sized girls. Most of the clothing for larger girls are not trendy, in horrible colors and in absolutely horrible materials. It is so hard to find a dress that is not shaped like a tent or make you look like you are pregnant! You have to go to give larger girls something that they would love to be seen in and have all those skinny girls wanting the same things in their teeny tiny sizes. You go for it!
