VenusDivas.com and Womensuits.com Fashion Curvy New Contest
For Plus Size Women and Teens

Entries are now being accepted for the “I LOVE MY CURVY LIFE” contest

Vancouver, WA - Sep 3, 2003 - VenusDivas.com, an internet resource dedicated exclusively to the full figured community and Womensuits.com, the internet's premiere high fashion outlet for women's luxurious plus size social occasion suits, have partnered together for a new contest celebrating Curvy Women and Teens.

The “I Love My Curvy Life” contest is open to women and teens sizes 12 and up. VenusDivas and Womensuits want to know how these individuals flaunt their style and enjoy their curvy lives. The winner will have their story published on the VenusDivas.com website and will also receive a glamorous suit from Womensuits.com by fashion designer Lisa Rene (retail value up to $350). The deadline for entries is midnight, November 30, 2003. Visit www.VenusDivas.com for full details.

“The curvy community is filled with dynamic women and teens with interesting stories to tell! Our goal is to offer them a platform where we can celebrate and share in their success,” commented Valery Foley, VenusDivas.com cofounder and CEO. Foley also stated that, “Womensuits.com offers some of the most beautifully designed suits in the plus size industry and we are thrilled to be partnering with them for this contest!”

Womensuits.com, catering to sizes 6-34, has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show as well as InStyle Magazine. In just four years, they have had over thirty thousand returning customers. Their success can be due to acting on a vision of fashion elegance and extravagance that is not readily available to plus size women who desire upscale attire. Womensuits.com is the first to make available over the internet the talented designs of Lisa Rene, Donna Vinci, and DVC.

According to David Golshan, President of Womensuits.com, “Our crusade is to put an end to the media myth that plus size women aren't attractive and style-conscious. I started this crusade of bring quality designs to all sizes four years ago when I met a noticeably upset women at Bloomingdale's Department Store. She was actually crying while explaining to the sales clerk that she needed, but could not find, a size 28 suit to wear for her daughter's wedding."

Golshan stated, "If you think about it, the few boutiques that carry upscale suits for women are almost all located in the big cities. What do you do if you don't live in a metropolitan city? Try finding upscale plus size selections in Hanktown, West Virginia. That is the beauty of the Internet. And we are one of the only websites that have what so many women are looking for."

Sheila Arnold, owner of Prosperity Modeling Agency, books plus size models for the Womensuits.com website. She commented, "It is refreshing to see a handsome and articulate man taking a positive role towards women of larger sizes and finally making apparel available in an often overlooked and neglected area of the fashion industry."
