Calling All Curvalicious Ladies With A Passion For 1940’s Fashion!

An online burlesque and 1940’s style pin up boutique, Truecorset.com has expanded their real steel boned corsetry designs up to dress size 32…especially for the curvy ladies.

These real steel boned corsets reduce the waist by 2-4 inches as well as providing extra room for the hips and the bust which poses as the perfect ingredient for 40’s style glamour.

Prices for these corsets start from as little as £9.95, so how can you possibly go wrong?
Plus size fashion blog, www.biggirlsbrowse.com said, “Overall, I was really impressed with the corset.  It is beautifully made and the satin is really heavy and not too shiny.  I like the polka dot panels, but those wanting something plainer can get it in plenty of other colours.”

She added:  “As for the fit, I couldn’t really fault it.  The corset easily whittled my waist down by 2 inches without any pain, and the longer line shape is really flattering for curvier figures.”

Shed your winter Skin

April 7th, 2010

I used to have a pet lizard – he was a Panther Chameleon, plum and green in colour ordinarily, orange when he felt angry or scared, and dark brown; the colour of the branches in his vivarium when he felt fed up- I think he wanted to hide from the world at these times (we all know that feeling).

He was a fascinating creature, who every so often started to look a bit grey, before going scaly all over and shedding his skin. During the shedding he would plod about his branches with crusty flaps hanging off him, he’d rub himself against the branches to release the old skin from his body. Sometimes I’d try to give him a hand and get a bit off for him- but he always looked a bit deadpan when I tried to do this (not that lizards can pull any other face)- but he was seeming to say to me: ‘Get off woman- I gotta do this on my own’, and sure enough- after a week he would be free of his old skin and as good as new- better than new in fact, his colours were more vibrant and his skin looked fabulous- he was worthy of a glossy magazine cover just after his sheds. (Although, Chameleo-politan never did get in touch!)
