I started this blog six years ago this week, on July 17, 2003. Since then, I’ve connected with many amazing people and have had some really cool opportunities and experiences. Maintaining this blog has been so satisfying for me and I hope I’ve helped some people along the way.
To celebrate 6 big years of plus size fabulousness, I’ve called on some of my favorite retailers and they’ve been kind enough to provide prizes that I’ll be giving away all this week and probably into next. Stay tuned, your first chance to win is coming soon!
Before that, though, I want to lay out some ground rules. It’s pretty simple – each giveaway will be for one prize. You can enter each giveaway only once. If you win a giveaway, you’ll be ineligible to win any other prize as part of this series of giveaways (unless specifically noted by me). Most of the giveaways will involve filling out a simple form and providing an email address.
I may do a giveaway or two on Twitter for my followers there so you might want to go ahead and follow me now because I won’t announce those giveaways here at all. I will announce blog giveaways on Twitter, though, so you can stay in the loop that way.
You can subscribe to my feed here or sign up to get new posts via email here. Each giveaway will run for several days so you’ll have plenty of time to enter.
Also, and I’m really reaching here, if you’re a retailer and you’d like to provide a prize for an upcoming giveaway, my contact form is right here. I’d love to hear from you!







Blogging congrats!
