What's New at MiB!
It's A "Spring Fling Surprise"!
What IS A "Spring Fling Surprise"?
It's a fun special offer we post randomly on our site and change daily during a "Fling"!
We'll be posting surprise "Spring Fling" special offers at different times throughout Spring, so be sure to check our website every day to see if we've created a new daily "Spring Fling Surprise" offer.
You never know when the next Spring Fling Surprise will start...that's why it's a "surprise"!
This Spring Fling will have a new special offer daily, beginning on Friday, March 19, 2010, and then new daily offers on Saturday, March 20, 2010 and Sunday, March 21, 2010 and the last daily offer will end at midnight on Sunday, March 21, 2010.
Each day during a Fling, the special offer for that day will expire at midnight and a new one day offer will begin right after midnight on the following day until that particular "Spring Fling" expires.
Be sure to click on the top right Spring Fling Surprise image whenever it appears (at random), to see what the daily surprise is.
Have a fun Spring Fling Surprise shopping spree!

Hilarious NEW "Kim Weighs In" Video - "Have a Bawl"
Well, she's done it again! One of our most talented & loyal MiB customers, Kim Brittingham, just launched her latest video, "Have a Bawl", on YouTube, once again wearing some of our MiB Styles.
This latest "Kim Weighs In" Video, called "Have a Bawl", is an hilarious take on the importance of crying. Kim is both humous and convincing as she outlines and demonstrates why crying is so important for both our physical and mental health.
Kim's new video certainly won't make you cry...except for laughing yourself to tears, but her message is a good one and we agree.
Check out how fab Kim looks in our Embroidered Tunic and Milano Tunic!
Click HERE to view Kim's latest Video on YouTube.
Please excuse us...we have to go and have a "good cry"!

Oprah Fan...Wearing our Dahlia Blouse!
One of our best customers, Sharon M. from Sebastopol, California, came  by our Cotati Showroom recently to purchase a special blouse to wear as an audience member on the Oprah Show taping on January 29th.
The blouse Sharon K. chose is a customer favorite, the Dahlia Blouse. Sharon's brother got the tickets for her and her sister since Sharon shares the same birthday as Oprah (what a nice brother!).
Happy Birthday Sharon and we hope you thoroughly enjoy your "Oprah Experience"!
We'd also like to say "thank you" for honoring us by choosing to wear one of our MiB blouses during your special day!

Believe it or not...Spring is here at MiB!
We just launched our new Spring 2010 Collection online this past weekend. We're very excited about this year's Spring Collection and we think you will be too! Our customers tell us what they want...and we listen. So get ready for some pleasant surprises for Spring 2010.
If you'd like to sign up for our MiB Newsletters, so that you'll be the first to know when we add new styles to our MiB Collection on our site, click HERE to sign up (be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the sign-up section).
Our Winter 2009 Collection is Selling Out Fast!
Be sure to check on your favorite Winter 2009 styles to see if your size is still available. We have had such a phenomenal response to our Winter Collection this year, that some styles are down to only a few sizes... so hurry to be sure you don't miss out on your favorite styles while they last.
One of our popular, go-anywhere Winter Styles is our new Carli Blouse at right. Perfect for parties paired with our black Angelique Pants or a Saturday shopping expedition paired with our super comfy and stylish Relaxed Fit Jeans.
Here's what one of our customers had to say about her new Carli Blouse:
"Beautiful blouse! Nice sparkle with the sequins and beads but not overdone! Darker than the pic online with a hint of deep maroon undertone which I love. Best of all I ordered it in my correct size J ( because the length was running long ) and it's long enough and fits me right everywhere else! What a pleasure and relief not to have to order a size K for length and have to take it in everywhere else." --Charlotte E.

MiB covers the essentials from the much loved tried and true “MiB Basics”, Venus professional line, t-shirts to relaxed fit jeans, plus many other necessities for the Plus Size woman’s wardrobe. MiB offers sizing designed specifically for “real” Plus Size women equivalent to traditional sizes 2X to 8X or 22W to 48W.
