		<title>It Happened To Me: I Read xoJane.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will confess that I used to love Jane magazine and was very sad when it went out of print. (I sadly missed out on the whole Sassy thing, probably because when I was in junior high, I wasn&#8217;t cool enough for anyone to tell me it existed.) But I loved Jane. I know that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Actor Gains 50 Pounds, Becomes &#8220;Much Funnier&#8221;?</title>

Remember when Russell Crowe gained weight for A Beautiful Mind, or Renee Zellweger did for Bridget Jones (and it was a way bigger deal because she&#8217;s a woman, even though she was a size ten at most, but that&#8217;s another story)? While Friends had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nordstrom Rack Fall Outfit Extravaganza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Armed with a gift card in my hand and Nordstrom love in my heart, I headed to the nearest Nordstrom Rack, in San Leandro, California, to do a little shopping. The first thing I noticed is that Nordstrom Rack does not exactly provide the full Nordstrom Experience. I&#8217;ve been to Nordstrom proper many a time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Say Yes To The Dress: Big Bliss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BFDiva Laurie sent me a very exciting email recently: she&#8217;s been chosen to be on TLC&#8217;s Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss. It is a spinoff of their Say Yes to the Dress series, and it&#8217;s about, as you may guess, shopping for a wedding dress. The Big Bliss spinoff focuses on plus-sized brides. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Melissa McCarthy The New Ryan Reynolds?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Kathy Bates got hired for Harry&#8217;s Law, I wrote a post with the headline &#8220;Role Written for a Man Goes to a Plus-Size Woman.&#8221; I thought of that headline immediately when I read that Jason Bateman, in his upcoming film ID Theft, pushed for the role of his co-star to be rewritten so he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet Mina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wilhelmina Anne was born at 11:43 pm on May 17th. (She was born via C-section, 50 hours after my water broke in the parking lot of a movie theater after seeing Bridesmaids.) (Which totally reminds me to write about Melissa McCarthy&#8217;s character in Bridesmaids.) She weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and was 20.87 inches long. [...]]]></description>
