Happy Friday Lovelies!

Hope the plans are amazing! Here’s some curvy linkage for your weekend pleasure:

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…

Black women are heavier and happier with their bodies than white women.

This one starts out with a bang people!

The beautifully voluptuous Fluvia Lacerda wants everyone to understand that her body is not meant to be hidden! Word!

Also, Queen Latifah has a plus size line:

The collections, called Queen, are set to launch this August and priced from under $100 up to $300. The offerings will come in a range of sizes; that’s not to say the line is exclusively for plus-size women, a term Latifah abhors:

“It is a word we need to bury at this point,” she said. “It’s for all sizes. Even just taking into account the various body shapes and body types of women as they range through those sizes, and making sure that everything is sized properly for them, has been exciting.”

The Frisky is obsessed with Say Yes to the Dress- Big Bliss

Gala has 100 ways to start loving yourself RIGHT NOW!   She also has an amazing 3 part article  on Body Pressure in the Blogoshere…check it out!

The Daily Love - True Beauty comes from within!
