About Me

My photo
Well here I am! Finally have plucked up the balls (although I don’t actually have any) to start this blogging thing. I have always said that the world should get to know me and this is a better place to start than any I suppose. I’m getting on a bit now I guess so better get a move on before the arthritis kicks in. I do work for a living and have the pleasure of working my (non-existing) bollocks off and paying stupid amounts of tax for the privilege. This is why I love to live life to the max when and where I can, love music, film and FOOD (I am a size 8............. er +10 lol). So I will start sharing my mad thoughts and views with you (you lucky things you) and slowly break you into the world of just4ulondon…….you think you know but you have NO idea!!

Big can be Beautiful

I have not written this to slag big girls off or put females down but I just wanted to voice my annoyance when I see larger ladies make no effort with their appearance or dress as if they are a size zero with bits and bobs hanging out all over the place. I am no size zero, skinny arse lady; trust me but I do feel I dress appropriate for my size and make the most of what I got.

It is harder for us bigger ladies to shop for trendy, up-to-date fashion and styles but with the high-street finally realising that big gals have money too! more and more shops are starting to stock bigger sizes although there is a long way to go.

With high street shops such as; New Look, Dorothy Perkins, Hennes, Peacocks and Evans introducing new stylish ranges, plus online shopping options, there are fresh choices that are more affordable than ever so there is no excuse.

When thinking of big beautiful women to look to for inspiration, I could only think of two…….Queen Latifah and Beth Ditto (yes Beth). Both women have their own style although Beth I feel at times breaks the boundary into millions of tiny pieces like a bomb with some of her outrageous fashion statements and shows that when she gets it right, she’s spot on but when she gets it wrong! There are no words. Queen Latifah carries herself well, makes the most of her curves and always looks sexy, beautiful, sassy and most important DRESSES FOR HER SIZE!!








So come on ladies, make the most of what you got and show the skinny girls that we can shine too!
