National Swimsuit Confidence Week with LandsEnd, Review & Giveaway

Natalie Monet, Editorial Assistant — Tue, 24 May 2011 02:43:22 +0000

Amy from MomSpark.net has joined with Land’s End for a giveaway!

Via Mom Spark

When Lands’ End approached me about reviewing one of their swimsuits AND posting a photo of myself in the swimsuit for National Swimsuit Confidence Week, I was a little hesitant. I didn’t think in a gazillion years that I would do such a thing, but the more I thought about the message of having confidence with my body, the more it became appealing.

Like many mothers, my body hasn’t been the same since having children. I lived most of my life very thin and scrawny, so having a real woman’s body (i.e. curves) post-baby was a strange adjustment for me. In many ways I loved my more feminine self, but I still had (and have) major hangups on certain areas like my stomach, thighs, and hips. While I’m not giving up on improving these areas, I’m over beating myself up about it. This is me. Amy.

Choosing a swimsuit from Lands’ End was difficult, as they have a HUGE selection. I wanted a style that would mask my pooch, but not completely cover up my body. I found a great compromise with the Living Paisley Print Bandeau Tunic Swimsuit Top that had drawstrings to adjust coverage, as well as removable straps for different styles. For the bottoms, I chose a traditional bottom with tummy control in the matching pink. I liked that I could choose an actual size and not just a bra size like so many retailers do these days. (one being Macy’s)

When I first tried on the suit, I was in love with the bright colors (which I normally stay away from) and the versatility of the suit. The bottoms were true to size, but the “tummy control” didn’t go up the torso quite as high as I would have liked, so there was still flab hanging over the top. The top fit perfect in the bust area, but was a little baggier than expected in the tummy area which made me a look more full. Don’t get my wrong, it is a super cute suit, I just wish a couple of the elements were tweaked for my body type.

So…. on to the best part, the pic. My husband helped me out with the shoot. We took about 50 shots before I found something I was happy with. I wasn’t going for sultry, sexy, or smoldering. That is not me. Instead, I wanted fun and unique. Enjoy.

Ta-da! I bet you didn’t know I could surf, did ya?

Erica Watson’s “Fat Bitch” Debuts in Chicago November 19th – Free Ticket Giveaway!

Chenese Lewis, Host of PLUS Model Radio — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:03:57 +0000

Erica Watson – “big, bold and beautiful” actor, comedian, director and commentator for the Oxygen Network and BET – returns to her hometown Chicago with the solo show “Fat Bitch!” This five-night only run is a funny yet thought-provoking look at how society’s obsession with weight, race and class have formed the way the world views her shape, and includes her interactions with men, from the boardroom to the bedroom. Written and performed by Watson as a hybrid of theatre and stand-up, “Fat Bitch!” explores how black women and their bodies have always been subjected to admiration and ridicule, and shares images of “Mammy” and “Hottentot Venus.” The production runs about 90 minutes without intermission, and is for ages 18 and up (some limited profanity in show).

Through personal vignettes, anecdotes and video clips, “Fat Bitch!” also offers a humorous and honest glimpse at the American “fat and sassy” black woman stereotype. How these media images have impacted Watson’s self-esteem are covered – from PETA’s recent “Save the Whales” billboard campaign aimed at overweight women, to the current national “war on obesity” and the recent controversy surrounding President Obama’s nomination of a plus-sized black woman for Surgeon General. Watson is a Columbia College Chicago graduate, with a BA in Film and TV (1998), and a MA in Media Management (2005).

Influenced by the quick wit of Whoopi Goldberg, the blunt comedic observations of Wanda Sykes, and the larger-than-life confidence of Mo’Nique, Watson (who is in the upcoming film “Precious” with Mo’Nique, as well as 2006’s “Dirty Laundry” with Loretta Devine) creates a universal point of view yet offers a new voice in comedy. “Fat Bitch!” has been workshopped at New York’s “The Tank;” first during the Black Comedy Experiment in March 2008, then in May 2009, and a pre-Chicago run from October 7-10, 2009.

“Fat Bitch!” is being produced by NBA champion, Charlotte Bobcats Center, and Chicago native Nazr Mohammed, who Watson has known since elementary school, when they lived next door in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood (blocks from President Obama’s house). Autographed sports memorabilia from Mohammed (to be announced later; likely to include apparel and Bulls/Bobcats tickets) will be raffled off at each of the five “Fat Bitch!” shows to benefit organizations dealing with young people and self-esteem.

PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE GAVE AWAY TWO PAIRS OF FREE TICKETS TO THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE THAT E-MAILED IN TO SEE “FAT BITCH” OPENING NIGHT IN CHICAGO!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS: LAUREN KOENIG AND TIFFANY JOHNSON!!!

Tickets are $10.00 in advance and $15.00 at the door. Tickets can be purchased on-line here.
