We know that in our Society today, the woman who is model-thin, a size 0 is the ideal for designers, and also for some men. They don't want women who look even remotely like they have eaten, or that they do eat! How in the heck did they come by this standard anyway? How did designers create this as the normal? Because these designers used those mannequins! The mannequins being without any particular shapes at those times, (years ago) seem to make their clothing fit better. This form appealed to the aesthetics of the ones designing their clothing. That is why they have made this the normal requirement for women, to be that thin, unrealistically so! These ideals, and Society's embracing of them, are what have caused anorexia and bulimia in young girls and women!
Then we have the other end of the spectrum curvy divas, the full-figured woman. Her size can go from being pleasantly plump, to really large which would be considered obese, by Society's standard. While no woman wants to be like this, unfortunately, not all of us can be model-thin. The make up of women, their genomes and lifestyle can dictate how some women's bodies are.
Sure we're not going to love our nose, the shape of our legs, or our thighs, hey, that is our prerogative right? What we each have to do is to learn to love ourselves as we are. Whatever we don't like, we can make better so that we love ourselves more. But when you do this, you do it for you, not for what anyone, especially Society, dictates. We decide for ourselves, not your best friend, not the magazine, or anyone else!
So go ahead, live out your fantasy. Take the time to look and feel the way you want to. Be the sexy siren, or the darling debutante, just make the time to bring out the beautiful in you. You would be surprise how just by putting on a little lipstick and styling your hair boosts your confidence and help you to put your best foot forward! Be confident, feel special and be happy!

| Plus Model Magazine featured an article in January 2012 about our bodies and what's wrong with it? (NOTHING!) |
