Oprah?

Ain't nothing wrong with a plus size gal with confidence who can work a runway with personality like a skinny chick. Okay..Times are changing and it is the right time and very in to be curvy! So all those people that used to think modeling was for skinny chicks, you have a rude awakening. You had better realize that a plus size gal might take your next gig..hahaha.

Now oprah is looking for plus size talent...Are you plus size and proud? Chicago only! Are you a woman comfortable with and proud of your plus size physique? Are you not afraid to show it off? Have you accepted and love your larger body type? If you live in the Chicago area, we would love to hear from you. The Oprah Winfrey Show is looking for larger women in the Chicago area who are proud of their plus size bodies and might be willing to model for us. Please only respond if you are willing to be on television.

DVT 's Sponsors - iFloor and it's Million dollar warranty

Hi full figure beauties, If your in the market for quality flooring with an amazing guarantee. Look no further because iFloor is offering a $1,000,000 limited warranty to its costumers to prove that iFLOOR can deliver quality floors. You can insure your floors if you purchased them online even if no one else will give you a decent warranty. DVT - Plus Size Magazine


iFLOOR, America's largest online flooring retailer, today announced a $1,000,000 limited warranty designed to protect its customers from predatory manufacturer policies that exclude warranty coverage from online purchases.

The policy, which goes into effect immediately, offers up to one million dollars of coverage in the event that a customer's warranty claim is denied specifically because they made their purchase online. It is complimentary for every iFLOOR customer, and protects the buyer under the same terms as the original product warranty.

iFLOOR, Inc. CEO, Steve Simonson, came up with the program to combat "scare tactics" used by manufacturers of hardwood floors and laminate flooring. "Their idea is to discourage you from buying at a discount!" wrote Simonson in his blog "It's About Flooring". "This is not right! You deserve to save money! So we're going to take care of this problem once and for all."

And it would appear that federal law is on his side. Section 108 of the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Act, states that, "In general, tie-in sales provisions are not allowed. Such a provision would require a purchaser of the warranted product to buy an item or service from a particular company to use with the warranted product in order to be eligible to receive a remedy under the warranty."

Under iFLOOR's new warranty, a key provision allows for iFLOOR to "seek justice" on behalf of the customer in the event of legal action. According to Simonson, "I'm putting iFLOOR's money where my mouth is."

About iFLOOR, Inc.
Since 1998, iFLOOR.com has been the leading online and retail flooring company, with 36 local retail stores nationwide offering more than 70,000 products, including hardwood floors, laminate flooring, bamboo flooring and cork floors. iFLOOR.com is the largest online flooring retailer according to Internet Retailer Magazine, and was named by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States for the past three years. Committed to quality customer service, superior selection and friendly expert advice, iFLOOR.com enables customers to buy flooring both online and in its retail stores at a substantial savings over traditional retailers.
