Hola Lovelies!!!
Hope everyone’s having a wonderful weekend! I wanted to share some YouTube links for The Conversation with Amanda De Cadenet, specifically one with Crystal Renn about her weight loss, and the wonderful Rita Wilson on body image and trying to stay thin. They’re just a few minutes each, but it’s great stuff.
Crystal Renn:
Rita Wilson:
I’m laying low this weekend watching all things Curvy on YouTube, so I’m sure I’ll be posting more very soon

Happy Friday Lovelies!

From the other side – A lament from a size 0 on the ever changing body ideal
This reminds me of when I was shopping with my mom at JC Penney, and we passed by a plus size mannequin. She says “Look it’s you!” thinking it would make me feel bad about my weight. I turned to look at the mannequin and smiled and said “Damn, then I’m a hottie!” (My mom wasn’t happy lol) Anyway, yes to more plus size mannequins!
Ahh Levis, you are truly clueless…
I really hope this is a rumor Jennifer Hudson…

Beautiful, sexy, and just straight-up a badass bitch, Mia Tyler threw the doors wide open and made everyone see her, truly see her and never forget, as a model, on of the first models with a real body! Recognized worldwide as one of the first plus size models, she brought sexy to a different level!
She began plus-size modeling at age 20 and was represented by Wilhelmina Models and worked for many companies that loved her rock and roll vibe! She also wrote a book, Creating Myself: How I learned that Beauty Comes in all Shapes, Sizes and Packages, Including Me. as well a a plus size clothing line and managing rock bands.
You can also find her on Twitter!

When you can command an audience simply by the sound of your voice and not by sexy dancers, pyrotechnics, or by sexy clothing, then you have true talent. That’s what I love about the amazing, talented and beautiful Adele. She’s stunning and mesmerizing, even when she is trying not to be, and she’s also becoming an icon (whether she wants to or not) to Curvy Girls everywhere!
I get chills!

My life is full of drama and I won’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like. I don’t like going to the gym. ‘I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine. Even if I had a really good figure, I don’t think I’d get my t**s and a** out for no one. ‘I love seeing Lady Gaga’s boobs and bum. I love seeing Katy Perry’s boobs and bum. Love it. But that’s not what my music is about. I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears.’ – Adele (Rolling Stone)
