Fennimas, is a full figure advocate as Rachel, the jewelry designer is a curvy chica herself and represents being healthy at a plus size! In today’s media plus size is totally under-represented and usually not in a “good” light when it is. Fashion is heading down a scary road as models get thinner and thinner, representing weights that are unhealthy and un-achievable by the average woman. In America, the average woman is between a size 12-14 and this size is never seen on the cover of fashion magazines, until now!
***Plus Model Magazine, www.plusmodelmag.com is paving the way for the curvy woman all over the world and getting noticed in “straight sized” fashion press as setting the bar for the plus size industry.

It has been too long! After 2 whole weeks of sheer torture, sleepless nights and immensely high stress levels, the dreaded exams are finally over today! It was a glorious day and was well-spent with very special people shopping down Chapel Street. I even got a skirt from Dotti! :O However the real exhilaration that I was expecting hasn't quite kicked in yet, probably needs a good night's sleep to realize. The thought of being able to wake up Whenever I Want tomorrow makes me so excited, my toes are tingling! So this newfound sense of liberation is slightly daunting, weird yet welcoming all at the same time.

Naturally, this means a lot more time available on my hands, so the workshop's looking potentially busy! I've compiled the following pieces I made during my difficult time of exams into a small collection, hope y'all like! I know I haven't had a collection since forever, but I'm hoping to get more out now that I have a lot more time to play with. Without having made these pieces, I am absoloutely positive I would have gone bonkers from the crazy high stress from the exams, and would not be sitting here calmly typing this out. So this is a very special collection! I decided to call it 'Simple Pleasures' because it reflects the bliss that one finds in the most unexpected ways.


I am actually going to churn out new pieces every so often from now on (and I think I may actually mean it for real this time!) so do keep checking back :) Thank you for all your patience during this difficult time; now that The Red Jewel's back in business you can definitely expect regular eye candy here any day!

First, let me start by saying RIP Jerry Fuchs, well known indie drummer. Who lost his life Sat night in a tragic accident, during Sat nights party. Prayers go out to his family and friends and all those who loved his music. It was a great night for a good cause that ended suddenly with the loss of someone too soon.
