WELCOME TO AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2013 EDITION OF BIG SISTER MAGAZINE
Hello
Everyone!
And just like yesterday, we are already
talking about your darling magazine at two years. To God be the glory for the
courage and strength these past two years.
Against all odds, we still take the spotlight of being West Africa’s
premiere health and life style magazine for the curvy and full figured women.
We want to
seize this opportunity to thank all our numerous fans and readers world over
for the love and support. We have noticed more likes on our facebook fan page. We see your comments and appreciate your
personal mails to us. We don’t take those things for granted, we won’t ignore
them, that is why we have taken time to compile and respond to them accordingly
in this edition.
This is
a rare edition, you can call it Our Special SEX edition!
Yes, SEX features
are often avoided in most publications but in BIG SISTER, we say the truth the way it is supposed to be said especially
when we have to protect the interest of our sisters out there. Our Sisters Gist
column takes a look at the various ways
women make sex a cheap commodity for men. A
must read for every single sister!
To some
couple, sex could be seen as an act of reproduction or pleasure, but on our
health and fitness column, we look at some sexual positions that double as
exercise, of course this is strictly for couples who are legally bonded either
religiously, traditionally or in the marriage registry. And for them, we spice
up their sex life with Mangoes on our Perfect Nutrition column.
And from the
international plus size industry, in recent months there has been series of
event from Gwen Devoe’s Full Figured
Fashion Week to Georgia Greenwood’s International
Fuller Woman Expo Canadian edition. These has been amazing events of the
year in the plus size industry and we bring memories of the 2013 Fuller Woman
Expo Canada edition in pictures.
And just
like the Fuller Woman Network has a mission of embracing our curves and bodies,
we were curious to hear from some of our big sisters what they love about their
bodies and what they would love to change and the response was amazing, read
that up on Sisters Gist column.
Our style and beauty column offers useful tips on wearing plus size jean and shaping of the eyebrows.
For our
cover story, Olufemi Felicia Adu,
the reigning Miss Big World Nigeria
beauty queen takes the spotlight as she is not only gracing our cover page, but
also granted us her first ever interview after winning the crown in November 2012. At the end of the interview, she was able to
prove to us that she truly deserved that crown as she is a big sister of many
parts.
Finally, we
give out big shout to Kathleen
Blade-Owens, the host of Phat Girls Show who hosted some of the
plus size industry leaders in Nigeria on her show during her vacation to Nigeria. For the Big Sister Magazine/Fuller Woman Expo Africa, Big Bold Models and Miss Big World Nigeria team, it was
another inspiring time out as our brands were put on the international
spotlight. We talked about the inspiration behind our brands, our challenges
and ambitions, the video is will be posted online soon. Autographed copies of
the printed editions of Big Sister Magazine was parceled to be delivered by
Kathleen Blade to Cassy Mcbryde-Jones,
Georgia Greenwood(Fuller Woman Network bosses), Maddy of Plus Model Magazine, Stephanie Penn of Daily Diva Venus as well as the editor
of Full Figured Magazine.
Still on Big Sister Magazine, why don’t you
relax, scroll down and read through our features which we know would inspire
you a great deal!
