Gina’s Top Ten Things:
1) Store to shop– Torrid: I love their trendy clothes. It gives Plus-Size women the option to wear alternative styles of clothing in all kinds of bold colors and patterns.
2) Plus-size model- Mia Tyler: I really love the funky edge that she always seems to bring out in her photos and on the runway.
3) Favorite restaurant– P.F. Changs: They have some of the best oriental cuisine I’ve ever tasted!
4) City to travel– New York City: There is always life and a crazy energy in NYC that you can’t get anywhere else. Being there makes you feel like you can do anything in the world!
5) Color– Blue: I love all shades of blue-maybe it’s because I’m an Aquarius. I must be drawn to my water sign color! 
6) Car– BMW: Right now I am loving the new BMW Alpina B7. It is hot! It’s a nice size and gives a sporty look without looking ‘too sporty’. I can see myself cruising in one of those for sure!
7) Hairstyle– ‘Big Hair’: I love big hairstyles-Curly, wavy, or semi-straight with a hot swoop. ‘Big Hair’ just reads DIVA from a mile away in my book.
8) Fall trend-Leggings: It might sound like an old trend, but I say Leggings are a crucial necessity in my wardrobe. I can pair them up with just about anything-I can dress them up or be casual in them and still feel sexy and stylish.
9) Blogsite- http://www.bellastyles.wordpress.com: I really love the way Bella Styles gives the world all the latest trends, do’s & don’ts, and tips in fashion. It’s especially great to get a different perspective on what can enhance a Full-Figured Woman’s appearance from a professional stylist!
10) Music: Gina Rose- I take pride in loving my original works of R&B/Soul. There is no greater gift than being able to express myself through music and touch others in the process!
