Blog: Plus Size Initiative Presented by Love Plus Diary and Despoke

Yes! After months of preparation and discussion, our model Priscilla Boh has decided that it is time she wishes to give all the knowledge she has learnt and tips she has gotten to the plus size people in Singapore. In her first inaugural episode, she has teamed up with Desmond Charles from Despoke (its about time yo!) to do a first ever Youtube channel on plus size (anything related) theme in Singapore. They have finally launched it yesterday and we are here to support this lovely duo on this special edition.

Let me tell you more about what KAYLENE knows on Plus Initiative SG:
(Kindly note that these are our humble opinion, should you need more info, kindly look for them directly and they will answer to your queries)

The COLD HARD TRUTH:
Being a plus size is really tough in Asia, with many haters, backlashing and many cynical comments we hear everyday and often we feel very lonely. Sad to say, in order for the plus size to not be 'bullied' in any possible way, they hide at home and seeking fun and fulfilment through the computer. Sometimes they go out but they drape themselves in black and the key idea was to make sure they dress as plain as possible, as 'black' as possible and to even become a invisible being. The more they are less noticed, the less critics and jugdement they get.They begin to like the idea of being a 'ghost' and starts to lose her identity on who she actually was, how talented she is, what incredibly beautiful face she has.

The launch of PLUS INITIATIVE SG:
The idea was simple and that was to gather all plus size both men and women to form a simple support group for one another and to give practical tips to plus size people out there on how to be better for their daily day to day lives! Plus Initiative SG is here to solve all sorts of problems the plus size people out there as much as they could!

Priscilla's FIRST EVER EPISODE:
I have watched both part 1 and 2 and in Priscilla's inaugural episode and together with Despoke, they dived straight into the most commonly asked question and that is how to jazz up an outfit to make it look better. I particularly love the idea of adding a pink blazer and a striking necklace to make the whole outfit pop. For the less 'adventurous' ones, you can always opt for a pastel cardigan and put on a nice crystal earrings. This will kick start your adventure on being creative with your outfit and eventually be seen and heard as well as be RESPECTED by people surrounding you for who you are. The part 2 series is good too! Now the men can get proper tips from a male Fatshionista and get interesting tips! I love the part where special guest Despoke wore a red blazer to pair it with a t-shirt and jeans. And the whole outfit stood out with just one bold acessory! How cool is that?

As a one of the leaders in the plus size industry in Singapore (and soon Asia) I would encourage all of us to support this duo by subscribing to their Youtube channel. You can find them on the following link:
