Loey Lane’s Career
In February 2013, Loey Lane began her YouTube channel. She has always had a passion for fashion and makeup, but she observed a significant gap in the market for plus-size clothing. The industry’s lopsided audience compelled her to launch a YouTube channel and blog where she would discuss and attempt to reconcile this divide. She began by publishing Disney-inspired lookbooks, makeup routines, and shopping hauls.
Her desire to interact with others quickly took flight. Many women who were marginalized by the fashion industry found solace in this all-encompassing beauty channel, causing her fan base to expand rapidly. When brands like Kohl’s and Sephora approached her to promote their products, her social media influence began to manifest.
She won IT Cosmetics’ annual IT Girl Contest in 2015 for her empowering videos that promoted body positivity and self-assurance. She was featured on the cover of Skorch Magazine in the same year. The issue centered on eliminating the negative stereotypes affiliated with overweight women.
In 2016, she began a campaign requesting that Disney include a princess with curves. She stated that it was time for Disney to contemplate a plus-size model. She has another vlog titled “The Not So Little Mermaid” in which she discusses not being able to relate to certain princesses despite the fact that the majority of the world grew up viewing Disney movies.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, she emphasized the importance of Disney catering to various body types. During New York Fashion Week in 2017, Loey collaborated with Lauren Conrad to help LR Collections expand into plus-size fashion.
In addition to vlogging, Loey has always been fascinated by phantom mysteries and haunted tales and enjoys discussing them.

Her book was titled ‘Haunted in Hollywood: The Adventures of Loey Lane’ and was published in October 2017 by Adaptive Studios in collaboration with StyleHaul. She even toured Barnes & Noble in order to promote her book. Lane enjoys her current position as a YouTuber because it allows her to share her ensembles and ideas with a large community of women.
