Tara Lynn also talked about what being seductive means to her exclusicely for Plie:

Seduction is a question of feeling sure of yourself, as well as good body posture. It means having a positive attitude towards life and positive energy. It´s not just a matter of being thin. I loved the Plié project because it is based on respect. And that’s really important! – Tara Lynn

Since my school has been way insane lately, I want to reach out to you my beautiful followers.

There has been a lot of things going on with the plus size industry in the past few years- Crystal Renn taking power at a 16, then going down to an 8. Curvy models and Beth ditto walking for Gaultier. ETC.

I just feel like I express my passion for seeing curvy women on the runway soooo much, I want to know: what are your thoughts? Do you think designers should have a variety on their runways? How passionate are you? Send me your inspiring e-mails, personal stories, or anything that you want to share. (If they are just for me tell me that, otherwise I will share your stories anonymously).

I need a pick me up, and I think some of my followers do too. :D

I love you guys.

Christina Hendricks: Hollywood’s New Siren

She rules the roost on the hit show Mad Men, but it’s the actress’s sexy curves and stunning self-confidence that have made her a star. Read the interview here and then check out photos from the cover shoot , the exclusive video and a roundup of her red carpet looks.

For an actress frequently compared to Marilyn Monroe, Christina Hendricks looks rather gamine as she walks into Il Buco restaurant in New York’s SoHo. She is wearing a black blouse, a pencil skirt, and a beret tilted just so on her flame-red hair, still glamorous from her Bazaar shoot the previous day. We are on what she calls “a lady date” in the restaurant where, a year ago, she married her husband, actor Geoffrey Arend. We sit under a painting of a fellow who looks like Paul Giamatti in John Adams—except with grapes. “Half of my friends posed under that painting,” she says with a laugh, ordering off the menu by heart and asking for a “big, sparkly” glass of chilled red wine.

This is what I would have worn my first day of school, yesterday, if it wasn’t so freaking hot! I just love this lace maxi skirt, I would wear it everyday if the weather would chill out a little (literally)! I bought it back in 9th grade after I officially parted from my “punk” phase. I wore it constantly for a while in high school then probably didn’t wear it for 3 years. Never the less I found it again and haven’t looked back! Ladies, do not be afraid to wear white this fall, as long as you do it properly. I always love a good white and black combo, but I wanted to get a little more creative this time by adding the brown belt and vintage gold necklace. Both the belt and necklace I got from a flea market! It is my final year of college, but this skirt makes it all bearable. Thank you white lace maxi skirt for lightening up my wardrobe.
