I Love Your Curves!!!!

And apparently so does the Fashion Industry! Since all of the drama with models being too thin and the industry's push on health I've seen a significant change especially in magazines. Ads are flourishing with real life people instead of (the WAY over used term) "waifish" models. Now I have to admit that when "normal" people were being used in place of our brainwashed opinion of "ideal" models I was a little un-accepting at first. I couldn't help but judge and critique every "imperfection" I saw! If I were to see the same person walking down the street...nothing I'd think that they were just another passerby but to spotlight a "normal" everyday Joe Schmoe in a magazine or on t.v. I just didn't get it. But as I kept flipping through the pages I saw something in these new models that I hadn't seen before in the "perfect" models. I saw life. I saw soulfulness. I saw real 120% beauty. The things that make us insecure are the things that make us beautiful and unique. So what if you have a Houdini dimple that ONLY shows up when you take pictures (annoying...but beautiful and one of a kind) or that bikini shopping has become something you do in the privacy of your own home on a computer and results in buying two different sizes of EVERYTHING!!! I like the "NEW" beauty! Makes me feel like I'm in control of my fashion and not being directed by someone I don't even know or knows me! With that said I'm going to enjoy my Panamanian curves by cooking some authentic curve loving food!!!! Recipes to follow...after I eat of course! Ciao!!
