I must say, it sometimes feels nice to be voluptuous, no matter how you got that way (I’m talking about whether you have breast implants, a breast implant alternative, or you were just born naturally boobalicious).
It’s nice because it almost makes you feel like you don’t have to be a rail thin woman, but can instead be one of those more curvaceous siren types that really has a little bit of vavavoom in their body – a little bit of a booty, waist, and just an all around more curvy shape that looks like you could really give a guy a run for his money.
It’s nice to have a little meat on your bones instead of being waify thin. It’s actually empowering. And some of the female celebs out there who are naturally more curvy are essentially realizing the same thing – and they’re giving the finger to the media who is so obsessed with women in the spotlight being too thin.
Too thin means a size two or zero, especially when you’re not naturally that thin and have to diet and exercise to stay that way. Who wants to live that way – always looking in the mirror, checking your butt and seeing if your size hasn’t gone above the sample size they tend to hand out in Hollywood and to teeny tiny models, right!?
I recently saw an US Weekly magazine cover that made me laugh in the store. It feature two notoriously curvaceous ladies – Kim Kardashian and Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner’s former muse. They are both very curvy, whether they got that way naturally or not is for them to know and us never to find out although Madison almost assuredly has implants.
The cover read “yeah we have cellulite, so what!”. It showed the very fit, but very curvy women in swimsuits. They looked terrific and certainly would have turned heads on any beach, but in Hollywood they’re probably considered “bigger”, which is just total garbage.
Jessica Simpson is another woman I’m starting to admire because she seems to be throwing the stick thin ideal to the wind as well. She’s a freaking awesome business woman and has had phenomenal success, all while thumbing the traditionally ridiculous ideals of tinseltown.
I hope this trend keeps going, because the ideals that Hollywood puts on women is just too much for any women to realistically adhere to.
