The 2018 TCFStyle Expo is less than a week away! Can you believe it? Things are finally wrapping up over for the 2018 TCFStyle Expo and the tea is overflowing. It’s our 4th year and boy do we have tons of news to share! Tons of fashion, vendors galore, and the panels. Today, I’m sharing all the tea on this year’s panels for the 2018 TCFStyle Expo.

From Rocking your size 20+ Body to Plus Size Cosplay, (if you like to dress up PLEASE dress up for our event!) we have something for everyone. Can I also toss in the deets on our workshops for upcoming models? How about tips on killing it in photos? We also have a panel discussing the male body image and self-esteem!
