I almost hit the floor when I got an email last week from Spanx asking me if I would like to be apart of their new project for their new swimwear line! I jumped up and down and then I stopped for a minute. I ran back to the computer and grabbed my readers to make sure I read the email correctly! I said to myself, hold up a swimsuit model,who me??? Do they have the right person,the right email addy? Oh lawd, I’m in no shape to be prancing around modeling a swimsuit but then I read the email closely. It said they were looking for “real-life women” to show before and after makeovers and they would be conducting interviews on video to tell why we love Spanx swimwear. I said, welp I guess that would be me! Ha!

You know that in the United States women on average,are a size 12/14. I guess the chicas over at Spanx knew what they were doing and I definitely fit into those demographics! I was taken back for a minute because I thought out loud, “oh dear how am I going to get swimsuit ready in one week?” I just said a prayer and I’m going to leave it up to the experts! The shoot is tomorrow afternoon and you know your girl will be live instagram’n and tweeting the whole experience. There is suppose to be a top notch glam squad on duty, a great photographer and a swimsuit stylist…oooh la-la! They even asked me what size shoes I wear! I love taking photos and I am so glad to work with Spanx! I modeled one of their swimsuits from last year when I took a trip to Jamaica and I really liked it(click here)! Now they have a new and improved line and I can’t wait to test drive it! Woot! I’m about to jump outta my skin, so let me go get mentally prepared and please check back for photos and a recap of everything! xoxo

She has now launched her 2012 collection which has expanded to shorts, dresses,pants and ofcourse those sizzling bikinis!

My friends over in the U.K. Curvy Kate, just launched a swimwear line! I found them online about a year ago and I’ve been in love ever since. They make bras and underwear for us curvy girls with bosoms sized at D-K cup. I love their ad campaigns too, they’re always so girly and fun! The models they select have “real” shapes and are gorg! They emailed to let me know that their product is now sold in the U.S. too fab! The new Spring 2012 line of whimsical swimwear looks terrific! Funky prints, tankinis,ruffles and more! All bikini tops have a soft foam lining to shape and lift the girls lol. I’m thinking of the pink and black tankini for my trip back to Jamaica soon! Happy Saturday! xoxo
