Curvy Looks: The Full-Body Project - Leonard Nimoy

The late Leonard Nimoy "championed full-figured" women.  He wanted women with full-figured bodies to not worry about what others, i.e., society thought of their looks and just be the beautiful human beings who God created them to be.  He wanted them to "...be able to stand ... and present themselves to the world" just as they are.  How beautiful is that?!


I can't remember hearing about this book that the man who in my head will always and forever be Mr. Spock, "Live long and prosper", (had to write that out loud ~smile~) published!  Did you know this curvy divas?  The book is entitled Full-figured Bodies, and from the photographs I have seen so far, the women he portrayed in the book are absolutely phenomenal and defies the stigma of society's depiction of beauty.


Author, Natalie Angier, who wrote an introduction to the book said that Mr. Nimoy didn't like that most women felt bad about their own bodies.  ~sidenote: we do that don't we ladies?  We are our own worse critics, this writer included!~   In order to help the women of size get rid of the stigma of hating her own body and looks, and to see the beauty that each body type represented, he photographed these women in the nude, and  also sexily clad in lingerie and clothing, and the Full Body Project was born.

Let this be a reminder to all of us, to look at ourselves differently.  Do not find fault in the beauty that is you!  To Quote Christina Aguilera's lyrics "We are beautiful in every single way...". 

So, Be. You.  Have a  #FierceFashionFriday - #FFF!!!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.
