![]() ![]() But unwavering determination led to Gonzalez grabbing the brass ring, as she not only has made her dream come true but now has her sights set on helping to continue pushing women's wrestling to new heights.įormer WWE Superstar AJ Lee pictured next to 13-year-old Carla Gonzalez outside of Laredo Energy Arena in 2015. A childhood fandom developed into very real experiences, but a short career in independent organizations included eight-hour bus rides, sleeping on a couch and working full-time in fast food. It's been quite the ride to get to this point. It's clear now the future is extremely bright for the Alexander High School alumna, who at just 20 years old is making an impact already in the WWE as a major blue-chip prospect. ![]() And only two weeks after making her debut on NXT 2.0 – WWE's developmental brand which broadcasts live to the world Tuesday nights on USA Network – she already found her way into the show's main event in a match against the NXT Women's Champion. He is also the best salesman the boutique could have ever asked for.Laredo's Carla Gonzalez – ring name Roxanne Perez – signed with World Wrestling Entertainment in March after making quite the name for herself on the independent scene. Of course, when I doubt myself or the success of the boutique, he listens with no judgment. He reminds me daily of how far the business has come. Every idea that pops into my head, he pumps me up and tells me it’s the best idea ever! Every win the boutique has, he is the first to celebrate with me. Lastly but certainly never least, husband David. Those that have put their trust in our boutique and believe in what I am offering the plus-size community. I would also like to shoutout the pop-up markets that I have connected with throughout the year. Without GOD’s grace and faithfulness I would not be seeking to walk in my purpose. I’d like to shout out my our lord and savior. Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Lastly for some shop therapy I would take them to Painted Tree in Kingwood where my boutique is now available. For an evening of great photo ops, drinks and good food, I would take them to POST HTX. I would also recommend we stop by HTX Brow Lab for some eyebrow care. On a Tuesday night I would take them to play Loteria with Buenas HTX at the Tikila’s in the Heights. We would then take a trip to a local pop-up market either a (Trendsetters or Puchica Voz market) so they can get a feel for what shopping local looks like in Houston. I would take them to eat at Velvet Taco, in the Woodlands. If one of my friends was visiting Houston, TX for a week I would do a few things for certain. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc. Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Our curves are to be celebrated and the best way to do that is to dress in options that make the individual feel as confident as possible. I want my customers to know how much I care about them and that every time they shop with me, it fuels me to continue to find today’s looks for plus-size. My goal is simple, I want to offer customers fashionable options that are budget friendly and stylish. Based on the exposure the boutique has had within the pop-up markets we have gain return customers and followers of the boutique. We started online in August 2021, about a month after launching the boutique online I started seeking out pop up markets as a vendor. What should our readers know about your business?Ĭarlas Curves is a plus size clothing and accessory boutique. I start thinking of ways to help fill the gap and little by little I found myself putting together a plus size clothing boutique. I am the type of person that sees a need, and the wheels in my brain start moving. I believed that if I was struggling this way than others with a plus size body would be too. I was tired of feeling like I had limits to how I wanted to dress. Pieces of clothing in my size and budget were limited. I literally could only shop small sections of certain stores in hopes of finding “something cute”. My thoughts were that as a curvy individual, I felt I didn’t have a lot of options to be stylish or fashionable. Hi Carla, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business? We had the good fortune of connecting with Carla Gonzalez and we’ve shared our conversation below. ![]()
