How your comments, likes and shares can change lives.

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Chrystal Bougon

I was at a blogging conference this past weekend here in San Jose (which is where my Curvy Girl retail store is located) called Blogher. ( #blogher or their other hashtag #blogher14 )

One of the speakers, The Blogess, said something that hit me right between the eyes. She was telling a story about how she wrote something on her blog that she thought was pretty impactful – but then when the comments started coming in from many of her followers – she suddenly realized how important and necessary the “engagement” and the “dialogue” is.

I have often had this thought, but it never really crystalized in my brain in this way. I mean, people tell me all the time that I am their voice. Or they thank me for being a voice for Curvy women.

Curvy Girls Rock – Help us Fund Our Cover Girl Project

Help us to fund our “Curvy Girl Cover Girl” project. You might notice that some of the “models” on our website are women that are not professional models. We photographed some our customers to show what our lingerie looks like on women that look like you and me.

Who would have thought that at a blogging convention, I would find a booth where I could find stickers and fun stuff telling the world that “I AM ENOUGH” and “I AM AWESOME!” Apparently, I need to get out of the store more often and attend blogging conventions. These people have it down! #iamenough

It’s been such an exciting week. Last night, at my store Curvy Girl, we had one of the most bad ass bloggers around give a presentation called “Change Your World, Not Your Body.” That bad ass blogger is Jes Baker, also know as The Militant Baker. And that was fan-fing-tastic all by itself. About 50 women at the store, enjoying wine, nibbles, bundt cakes and Jes and her empowering and educational presentation. (Plus throw in a little bit of shopping for sexy plus size lingerie and other romance goodies.) It was a great night all around.

We had some extra special VIP’s last night, too, in addition to The Militant Baker. The divine Marilyn Wann, author of “Fat!So?” and a special guest appearance from Ms. Virgie Tovar, the author of “Hot & Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life, Love Continue reading →
