There’s a new decade ahead, and it’s tempting to track all my accomplishments over the past one. While it’s always good to look back on how far I’ve come, I’m more interested in what’s next. What’s going to push me out of my comfort zone and help me grow? With six decades behind me, I…
You may be surprised to learn that Baby Boomers are the second-largest group of bra buyers, after Millennials. And their share of this market is growing at a faster rate than all other generations. One wonders why there aren’t more women of a certain age (52 to 70) appearing in intimate apparel advertising or on…
In the era of social media, the word “model” has acquired a broad definition. I grew up thinking that models were glamorous people featured in runways, magazines and large posters. So it’s a word I have a hard time associating with myself. But starting my blog opened my eyes to different aspects of the fashion…
A few weeks ago, Elisabeth sent this article from The Curvy Fashionista with a simple question attached: “What do you think about this?” If you’re not up on the latest plus-size marketing debates, the article covers the founder of Universal Standard arguing that the plus-size term is dead.

I’m talking about getting out of your comfort zone, embracing vulnerability, and celebrating your one, beautiful feminine self. It can be scary to wear next to nothing for a photographer. But who says you have…
Every January, for the past several, I’ve gotten together with friends to create a yearly vision board. I’ve never been big on resolutions, but a visual reminder of my personal goals works for me. I can post it on the fridge or keep it at my writing desk, or focus on it during meditation. One of…
Earlier this year, I took part in a unique photo shoot for Underneath We Are Women. This project is the brainchild of photographer Amy D. Herrmann, a photographer from Australia. Her goal is to publish 100 images of women from all over the world, plus feature their stories, in a coffee table book. It’s all…
I never had to think about my boobs, or lack thereof, until I started high school. One of the most awkward adjustments to high school life was taking swim lessons. Stripping down to a bathing suit in front of my classmates was mortifying, especially since the boys and girls were all together. As we all…
