I had a blast at the Philadelphia Sports Extravaganza and Wellness Expo on Saturday at the Wachovia Spectrum and wanted to thank all of you who showed up to help us at the table and taking the class. I know it took a lot of courage to get out there in front of a big crowd. But as it turns out we had kids, a whole group of Pilates Specialists, “Tigerman” and other mascots and CBS-3 TV Sports Director Eukee Washington who all joined in doing the CurvyGirl Workout Class. There was a DJ playing some great dance music and everyone had so much fun.

I was so thrilled that the CurvyGirls not only performed, but got over their nerves and did it. Oh, I completely forgot that Mary, Jessica and Lori Nudy actually did ROCK CLIMBING. That’s right. They all put on the gear and climbed the wall, and yes they did it! Even though I threatened Lori to climb or else, she did it and I was so proud of her. I knew she could do and she looked great. Oh yeah, I tried too, but as I started to ascend I realized that my nails could break at any time and that was not gonna happen. Diva’s don’t break nails from rock climbing so I came down really fast.

CBS-3 TV in Philadelphia covered the event and loved the CurvyGirls. If you watched Channel 3 News on Saturday night you would have seen Reporter Ann Marie Green interviewing me. They showed Eukee doing the Workout with us and at 11PM they showed tape of Eukee and me competing to see who could keep the hoola hoops going the longest. By the way, Eukee can really move! He was also so down to earth and friendly. And he encouraged us to contact their news department so they could do a story about us. So watch for more coverage soon.

The other exciting part of the Expo was that we introduced our new CurvyGirl merchandise which will be available for purchase soon on the website. We have T-shirts, hoodies, long sleeve T’s and bags, all with our logo, in pretty colors (pink, lavender, peach, green) and some really awesome looking hot pink water bottles. It’s been very gratifying for me to see all of these things because it represents the way CurvyGirl Enterprises is really growing as a company. The growth of the company means we can reach out to more women with our message: Fitness Comes in Many Sizes.

Have a wonderful day.
