Big Beautiful Women (BBW) – Are We the Norm?

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Tuesday 2 December 2008 11:53 pm

Big Beautiful Women (BBW) are everywhere. We are round, feminine and loving. We are the “plus” size. There are numerous websites just for the “big” or plus size female. What stores offer apparel, which ones have airplane seat extenders, which airlines have the biggest seats, what about dating sites (there are lots of those!).

There are a number of blogs that feature BBW chats and discussions. I am always amazed at the huge numbers these sites attract. If we are supposedly in the minority, why are there so many of us? I suspect there are more of us that are average than “plus” size but the big advertising agencies, TV, and movies have all brainwashed us into thinking that the stick thin, no-curves female is normal. Not so! It is not automatically unhealthy to be a plus size woman. Being thin is not inherently healthy. See your doctor and if your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar are OK, relax. If not and you want to lose weight to avoid weight related health problems, eat more vegetables and fruit. Go for a nice walk. A little exercise can lead to a longer healthier life.

Big beautiful women (and MHM, Big Handsome Men) have some special needs when traveling, especially air travel. On most domestic flights you will need a seat belt extender. Although most airlines offer these, you have to request them and not all airlines are sensitive to the larger person’s needs. You can also request an empty seat next to you on the plane to get a little extra room. However these are only available if the flight is not sold out.

There are so many options now for the plus size woman that were not available even 10 years ago. I am encouraged that society really will accept people of all sizes and stop categorizing us.

Tips For Buying a Soccer Shirt

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Tuesday 2 December 2008 11:45 am

For soccer aficionados, you can show your love for the game by wearing soccer shirts. This is one way to separate one particular team from another. The shirt is also what serves as the spice in every soccer game. Many fans are now wearing soccer shirts to let their favorite teams know that they are supported by their adoring fans. One can easily identify which team you favor by the soccer shirt that you are wearing. There are now so many people investing in soccer shirts, merchandisers make it a point to produce soccer shirts that not only include the soccer teams and players, but also many different and exciting designs.

Along with the growth of popularity in soccer, the soccer shirt is also continuously transforming. In earlier years, the soccer shirt used to be made from cotton and was relatively thick compared to the shirt worn by players and fans. Having such a thick shirt caused discomfort, as the players and even the fans could not move as freely as necessary. Also, the hot environment caused excessive sweating. Acknowledging the need for a soccer shirt transformation, soccer teams came up with better soccer shirt designs. Aside from the better shirt materials, the shirts we enjoy wearing today are now endowed with more vibrant and exciting designs and colors.

Former soccer shirts bore duller colors, unlike the shirts that we have today. The color was usually white or dark and it could be compared to a polo shirt, as it also had a collar, laces and even buttons. And because it is now gaining in popularity, there has been a great innovation in these shirts. These exciting soccer shirts are one of the reasons why soccer has made such a big impact amongst fans. The color, design and materials of the soccer shirt are something that can’t be resisted. The colors of shirts today are more vibrant and the textiles used are made with a special dry material that does not stick to the body once it is wet. However, there are soccer shirts available that still incorporate the polo-like design.

The designs and colors that now attract fans and convince consumers to buy soccer shirts are all part of a growing bandwagon in the world of sports. Soccer enthusiasts can now buy the soccer shirt of the team that they support. The shirts of soccer superstars such as Beckham, Deco, Henry, and other equally famous players usually garner the highest sales.

The manufacturers of soccer shirts are using different marketing strategies to attract customers and sell their product. As you may have noticed, you can even find special edition shirts that are triggered to catch the attention of soccer enthusiasts. Apart from that, there are other marketing strategies aimed at making even more sales before the soccer season ends. The popularity of soccer shirts is only a manifestation of how much these fans totally support their team. Therefore, a soccer shirt is more than just a shirt, it also generates an identity.
