Full Figured Fashion Week Founder Gwen DeVoe Responds To Julien Macdonald, Tells Him To Get A Life

Here! Here! I totally agree with Gwen DeVoe. Beauty comes in all sizes, not just sample sizes. Good point about the fact that plus-size people have to buy a wardrobe, therefore there is economic power that is wielded that designers must be able to appeal to.

Love, Spirituality and Four Noble Truths

Fantastic article by Susan Piver. I agree with her views. I have always had relationship issues primarily because I take committment extremely seriously and the word “love” means so much to me. I do not use that word frivolously or without regard. When I tell anyone, “I love you” it is an extremely serious and thought out statement to me. The Dharma for me is summed up this way, Life is imperfect, Love is perfect. By opening one’s mind to the imperfection in yourself and others you open the door to perfect love.

Americans Don’t Do Sacrifice Anymore

Interesting article. The American spirit seems to be infected by greed and selfishness in many ways. I do not think the sacrifices of the “Great Generation” during WWI & WWII can ever be repeated. Is altruism dead?

Marvin Gaye-Mercy, Mercy Me (the ecology)

With the oil spill is the gulf and everything else happening to “Mother Earth” around the world, I think this is a good choice for today. Listen to the lyrics. It’s unfortunate that we have not gotten our acts together about our environment in the 30+ years since this song originally came out.
