Because I'm Curvy...

I don't know why I continue to read the headline news on AOL's website. They can be misleading, and they can piss you off before you even read the article. This particular headline read, "Famous designer blasts curvy women." I clicked on the link and breezed through the article. I read a quote by the designer, Karl Lagerfeld, who called curvy women "Fat mummies, sitting on their couch, eating their crisps and saying that models are ugly. They are just fat and jealous."

I probably wouldn't have thought much else about that (besides he's just a lonely bastard who gets love from watching skinny women with no boobs bounce down the runway wearing something he created) if I hadn't read what I read last night. While in the grocery store, standing in the check out line...I scanned over the covers off all of the magazines. I'm not sure which magazine it was, but there was a picture of Khloe Kardashian in a bikini. Beside the picture it read "Don't call me fat". If you know who the Kardashians are, you know that there is not one sister that is ugly.

And the Hubbs wants to know why I stay so paranoid about my weight.

I will never be a size 0 model, nor do I want to be, but I do want to be a sexy, beautiful, healthy woman. Right now, I am in a size four jeans and I see no reason to get any smaller than that. But, if (for some deranged reason) I woke up one morning and decided that I wanted to be a model...I would be considered plus size! How freakin' crazy is that? Since when, did we let these designers and models decide what is beautiful and what is not? I remember back in the Summer reading "Curves out, Rectangle shape in." How can you have a body style in or out? A person is born with their shape...they can't change it.

Me? I'm short and curvy. This is why I have to be a little more conscious about my weight, because it can pack on fast and quickly become unhealthy.

This designer must have never ever really loved a woman. He must have forgotten about the TRUE & ORIGINAL models like Marilyn Monroe, who was a curvy woman. In today's society Marilyn Monroe would be considered fat. If you've ever noticed the bodies of the ancient goddesses, that have been drawn and passed down through the years; They were always curvy, and never, ever skinny.

I am learning to embrace my curves a bit more. I've learned that I'm not built to be super skinny, but I have the potential to be super fat. I'm healthy, and I want to stay healthy. I think that's what every person, man & woman alike, should strive to be. Healthy. And if God gave you curves, then you are beautiful. If God made you naturally thin, you're beautiful too.
