Your Ultimate Plus Size Lingerie Boutique

I have obtained 3 degrees/certificates. In the past, I have worked as an art teacher, and at a major insurance company, done desktop publishing and held a post as a volunteer chair person which entailed some travel. Currently, I am a Massage Therapist and it is wonderfully gratifying, stress-free, joyful work! Out of all of the things that I've ever done, I'm enjoying being a holistic healer the most. I've always been a nurturer and get great satisfaction out of bringing about stress and pain relief to all that take time out for themselves and know how good and how healthy it is to receive a massage.

Being uncomfortable with myself and my appearance in the early years did not stop me from getting out into the world and doing what I wanted or needed to do. But now that I know more and have experienced more life I realize that happiness that comes from gaining acceptance of my full figure. My sensual, spiritual, zest for life self is more integrated with my physical self than ever before.

Thank you Hips & Curves! You are stepping stone for full figured women everywhere. You provide sexy, alluring gorgeous clothing and lingerie that we can feel great wearing for that special someone and then getting out of for the same reasons. You guys show support for who we are! Like the newly emerging butterfly from a cocoon, I have been awakened from a media induced sleep and have realized my full potential as a valuable person and as a woman. As a friend of mine once said, I am 'Rubenesque vs. Clothespinesque' (ha, ha), and I like it that way!

Jina

My name is Jina. I'm 51 years young. Like so many full figured women I'd bought into the media's concept of what sexy should be. I never felt that I was attractive or sexy because of my tendency to be 'heavy'.

I had many friends that were thin. It never occurred to me when I was younger to take a look at their parents to see that genetics plays a key role in body shape and size. In addition, clothing was never stylish enough nor cute enough - and you know peer pressure among teens. My ideal size is a 14/16 now and I have come to realize that this is me. I'm beautiful just the way that I am and no one will ever be able to successfully convince me otherwise. I love how I look and know that my man does too, in my most seductive, alluring, plus size clothing and lingerie. I no longer squeeze myself into clothing that was not meant for my shape and refuse to be unhappy because the media tries to convince me that 'thin is in'.
