Mapping a Curved Road

After weeks and months of anticipation the night so many of us waited for had finally come!
The buildup was about to climax and by the time we were done the corner of Broadway & Pine in Long Beach
had exploded in a delicious assortment of Sexxiness and Fun.

If anyone was waiting to hear that the night was a flop and not completely OFF THE HOOK, keep waiting…cause it ain’t gonna happen. June 3, 2011 @ Club Cohibas hosted an event of Epic Porportions!

The Women were Beautiful and the Men De’Licious. We vowed to represent Club Curves to the fullest and leave all that bullshit drama elsewhere. Point Blank. Period.

Once you got close to the venue there was no denying our presence. If you didn’t already know, you were about to find out!! We were warned ahead of time that the word was out about the return of the Infamous OG Club Curves, and believe me, people came one by one and two by two. We had a presence already from the freeway. The flow of traffic seemed to be moving in the right direction. All destination points on the GPS led to ‘Club Curves’

Parking wasn’t an issue, there’s lots of places to choose from. As soon as you hit the corner you couldn’t help but notice the long line of partiers anxious to get up there and work it out on the dance floor, have a drink & find their friends!

The Party Bus rolled up around 25 people deep! They had the right idea, get the party started on the way, arrive in style & VIP entry. The wait in line was a little long but we made the best of it. It was a big night. No attitudes, just friends, pictures, lots of conversation & laughter. It wasn’t long before we spotted Boogie checkin on the crowd then soon after Shadoe came to check on her crowd & thank us for being patient.

You could hear the beat bang from down on the street as the entryway got closer and closer. FINALLY we’re in!! Whew! Wall 2 Wall packed. 3 rooms ALL crackin! Seemed like everywhere you went there was a familiar face (and some you wanted to get familiar with). No matter what your taste is, they were there smellin good & lookin good.

After seeing a few friends and introducing myself to a few new ones, I made my way to the middle of the dancefloor in the Main Room and didn’t leave until it was time for me to go home. It was hott in there and I don’t just mean the temperature.

As I looked over to the windows I noticed they were fogged and it took me back to the feeling I used to have back in the Redondo Beach days. I always knew I was in for one hell of a night
when I’d go down those last steps and the mirrors on the wall were fogged up! Ooh Whee!

I snapped back when my song came on, “Awwww, Shit!” “Look at me now, look at me now, OH! I’m gettin paper” (Ironic, No?) The room went wild. I look up at the stage and got jealous for a split second, they were up there goin CRAZY, LOL. I smiled because I knew we were home, and I will be coming ‘home’ again next week.

Dj Needles & Dj Wicked did their thang and had the whole spot jumpin from start to finish. My feet were cussin me out the next day. Shadoe, glad you’re back, its been a long time coming.

See you next week!!

About Me.
 
I’m a Capricorn. I’ve been told that makes me a dreamer. Ok, I’ll buy that. I am. For me, the sky is the limit. I dream BIG! I always have. I come up with some of the craziest things (or so my friends say) and you never can really tell what I’m going to come up with next.

Current Mission.

I want to be a positive influence in the Plus Sized community. I want to be involved with events that promote healthy living and enjoying life and all that comes with it.

I don’t want to be held back because of someone else’s perception of what my abilities should be. I’m tired of the barriers and limitations put on the plus sized community. I basically used to accept that by being a larger person (Men & Women) we were just going to get a bad rep. I felt like we were cast aside, doomed to be banished to our own island populated by anyone over the size of 12.

At times it was hard not to feed into the negativity. Those days are history and if anyone has an ‘issue’ with my size or anyone like me thats their problem. I refuse to hide myself away not to be seen or heard. I plan on living this life I have been given.

Why is it that the stereotypical ‘Big Person’ should have low self esteem and can’t be considered sexy, desireable or even confident? I know so many people of all sizes (skinny, big, short, tall) and these issues have no specific criteria. We all have insecurities. I challenge anyone who thinks or feels that just because of my size I don’t have pride in myself or positive self-esteem. I’m not defined by the size of my clothes.

These past few years have been especially spiritual & educational for me. I don’t want to take what I’ve learned for granted. Its time for a change.

PSA:

To clear up any confusion, I am in no way promoting that being overweight is a good thing. Healthy living is the best option. The only option. I’ve just learned to love myself and the skin that I’m in & understand that its going to take time and dedication to undo whats already been done. While on this journey to my ideal weight & size am I not allowed to be happy and have pride in myself? YES I AM! My intentions are just that. I don’t have low self esteem, I am a confident and intelligent young woman with goals. I believe in myself, and I’m responsible for taking control of my destiny.

I don’t know what the future is going to hold for me, I’m just going to take a deep breath and jump!

 I am currently a Single BBW Woman in Southern California. I’m navigating my way through a ‘curved’ road while fighting to break the mold that society tries to put me in. I don’t believe that my size dictates what I can and can not do in this world. I’ve really decided that at this point in my life I’m going to go for my dreams. I’m shooting for the stars!

Anyone that knows me knows that I love a good opportunity to get out and mingle. For as long as I can remember I’ve been a very social person. This leads me to the career of my dreams; Event Planning, Promotion, & Production Management. 

I am excited when I think of how things have changed so much in the ‘Curvy Community’ in what seems like a short time. We are holding our own in the Music, Entertainment, and Fashion World.

I’m kind of a late bloomer as far as fashion goes. I look back at things I wore when I was younger and laugh. Have you ever seen someone out with their friends or family and ask yourself how in the world they let them leave the house looking like that?! Well, that very well may have been me!

I like to think that my taste and fashion sense has improved. Now, I love all things fashion. I am into makeup, shoes, bags, hair, and have even sketched up a few pieces of my own (even though they are hidden in a secret place). I have a lot to learn but am enjoying the process.

After feeling like I was roaming aimlessly, for years wanting to do everything that crossed my mind. It now looks as though things are well under way. At least for now I will concentrate on a few ventures somewhat closely related. It can be a bit hectic at times but when everything comes together my expectation is that I will be incredibly happy. I never felt that I should pigeon hole myself into trying to just do or be one thing. I have many interest, I’m curious and want to explore. I am still in the process of doing what I can to make my dreams a reality. I don’t expect for things to happen overnight so I’m just keeping my eye on the prize and am enjoying the ride. I know I will find my way. I desperately want to learn as much as I can in my field as well as somehow becoming an advocate in the Plus Size community.
 
Thats all for now, I have work to do. Until then - Live, Love, Laugh, and Dance like noone is watching (but you secretly hope they are)

Hugs & Kisses

(I meant to post this sooner)

The results have been announced and I was not chosen, this time, lol. I’m cool with it, thats the nature of the beast. I was so excited when the finalists were announced and MY picture was among the 10 for CA to begin with. Then to have so much support from my friends & family made me feel like I had already won anyway! That personal victory was as good as bringing home the gold. The comments and encouragement from them left me teary eyed. A few of them even turned into campaign managers!! Who can ask for anything more? I really feel like I am definitely blessed. I love each and every one of them dearly. Thank you all.

I must have done something right, God sent me some incredible people ♥

Well, with much anticipation I wait for the results of the Ashley Stewart Coast to Coast Model Search. The announcement will be made on Chenese Lewis internet radio show www.PlusModelRadio.com which starts in 10 minutes (6pm PST / 9pm EST).
Listen with me!

I really don’t want to say too much right now, but I wish all of the very beautiful women involved the best of luck.

I have been wanting to start my own blog for a very long time now. I have no idea what I was waiting for. I love to write and have always loved to talk, you can count on me having plenty to say so me starting a blog seemed like the natural order of things. Even now I have several topics flowing through my brain. Now I have an excuse to let it all out and expose myself & the crazy thoughts in my head to anyone willing to read them. 

My deepest apologies in advance. You’ve been warned! LOL
