Flaunt' em curves.

I was watching this last summer's Project Runway, and there was this episode were one of the contestants was throwing flames about a plus size model. So I've decided to dedicate this post to talk about the importance of having a healthy figure. before that I would like to state something; fashion is not about those stick figure models, its about us, the regular folks that have curves and flaunt them proudly. Thanks to our media, people now have this ridiculous idea that slim figures are the "it" girls. Back in the days, when people like Marilyn Monreo and Elizabeth Taylor were in the spot light, it was all about the curves. Todays media promotes being skinny and they have no idea the negative impact this has on the viewers. For example, once I saw a show that presented a 6 year old girl with an eating disorder because she wants to "look like barbie." Other girls starve themselves for weeks so they can look good for prom. what happened to just eating healthy and sticking to that. Designers like JPG and Elena Miro have used plus sized models. Infact, Jean Paul Gaultier used Velvet d'Amor (size 20) to walk in his show back in 2006. So all I want to say to you guys, is that theres nothing wrong with being curvy, hell theres even nothing wrong with being over weight. As long as your confident in your own skin then you can rock anybody's world.
