FFFWeek

I am so excited. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a passion for all things fashion and entertainment. And more than anything, I love anything that promotes plus size girls looking good. I have said before that no matter what size I am, it is my goal in life to teach plus size girls how to dress in a manner that is flattering to their size and make them feel good about themselves. So I was super excited when I found out that New York has a Full Figured Fashion Week in June, and I could buy tickets. I even decided that I would go with or without Juan (and that's a big thing for me to say I would travel into the city alone).

As I searched the website to learn about the events of the week, I found a volunteer page. So I applied. Why not, right? I mean it would give me the opportunity to be right in the middle of everything I love. After I submitted the application (which required a photo) I got a response thanking me and it said they would be in touch. I figured that would be the end of it. I mean they probably have people they work with and if I got contacted, it would be sometime closer to the event in June.

Well last night, I was sitting here eating dinner (on the floor in the living room because we still don;t have any furniture :) ) and I got an email asking for a few volunteers to work a model casting this weekend. I jumped on it. I mean to be there in the thick of it--even if that mean just passing out forms to model chicks for 3 hours--is what I want more than anything. I was one of the first to reply and will be working this weekend. I am really looking forward to helping out and maybe there will be more pre-event opportunities for me to volunteer and get to know the world of Full Figured Fashion.
