Late last month Pasazz.net was contacted by a reporter from Shopzilla.com and I was delighted to see our mention within a recent article published on FortWayne.com’s Journal Gazette. Helen Malani’s article entitled “Surf Web for trendy plus-sized wardrobe” speak about the choices made available online to plus sized women, and also features some quotes of mine. How exciting is that? Make sure to check out and read the article at http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/journalgazette/living/15158358.htm.

After a week long vacation, I am finally back home! I enjoyed the needed rest greatly, and had a good time in Corfu… although I must admit that Greece did have some not so pleasant surprises in store! Also, I was sorry to see that the curvy fashion on the island of Corfu is very, very limited. It’s good to be back home, thoughI have a slight feeling it’s going to be a little hard until I get back into the usuall routine. However I will be updating you with some plus size related posts later on during the day… so hold tight!

There will be no blog posts for the coming week I’m afraid. I’m taking a week long break that is very well needed! Tomorrow early morning I’m flying to the beautiful island of Corfu and will be back in exactly a week, so I will be back in the blogosphere then! In the meantime… I’m will try to take a break from computers!
