LOV’N MY CURVES AT THE 26TH ANNUAL HARLEM HOLIDAY LIGHTS 2019 CELEBRATION IN NEW YORK
On November 20, 2019, Lov’n My Curves hosted a Curvy Shopping District in partnership with the 125th Street Business Improvement District at the 26th annual Harlem Holiday Lights 2019 celebration in New York. The highly anticipated holiday event draws several hundred people to 125th Street. As first time participants, Lov’n My Curves hosted the first-ever Curvy District. The Curvy district featured a series of events, including live fashion demonstrations featuring plus-size models, a book signing with a plus-size supermodel, and the winner of Project Runway, Liris Crosse. LMC also accepted submissions for the LisaRaye PZI Woman National Curvy Model Search at Ashley Stewart on 125th Street.
An ensemble of fifteen plus-size “Curvy Rockets” in outfits inspired by, and looking much like the Radio City Rockettes, descended on the 125th Street business corridor for photo opportunities, meet and greets appearances at the various events, including an appearance at the legendary Apollo Theater. The night ended with the Curvy Rockets as the center attraction atop several floats during the Parade of Lights.
