One thing I like about being part of the plus community is reading what other people have to say on issues related to size, and particular, to fashion. So I want to link you to some of my favorite plus size places to visit on the web:
Too Fat For Fashion - This blog is the most high style of any of the plus size fashion blogs I've ever read. They cover all the Elana Miro runway shoes, write smart articles on the state of fashion, and they really know how to co-opt straight size trends for our size. A must read.
Pretty Pear - A mix of scoop on sales and fashion advice. Has lots of good links too.
Big Fat Deal - Interesting, funny and thought provoking. Only occasionally about fashion, but the blogs are always about something interesting.
Big Fat Blog - This site gets a little too fat activist-ish for me sometimes, but it covers a lot of interesting news articles related to obesity and how plus size people are portrayed in the media. I may not always agree but I am always intrigued.
Oh, and my fave blog ever, although not remotely related to size or fashion really, is:
Dooce - You have to read the background on this site to really get a feel for it. The writer Heather started blogging about her job as a hobby, then got fired for writing about her job on her blog, then eventually came to write such a popular blog that her blog is now her full time job. She writes about being a former mormon, raising a beautiful but challenging little girl, being married and other funny stuff like bodily functions. The blog is so popular that her dog now has its own calendar. Nuff said.

AWESOME
Ok I just stumbled across this site
http://www.beautypluspower.com/
and I'm so happy to see bigger girls as models. Not the cheap sleazy porn stuff. Real women, dressed really nice, and unashamed of their deep beauty.
I only wish there was a way for me to help out besides extolling the virtues of bigger girls to my friends. :-)
Best wishes
