Manstyle: Beards, how sexy are they?

You have seen a lot of these lately curvy divas, men with beards.  Is that man with the beard doing it just for a fashionable manstyle look; or is there more to it than that?

Did you know, in November, aka Movember, sometimes even beginning in the month of September, some men grow a beard and don't shave in awareness of prostrate & testicular cancer.  They do this to raise funds to support the research and bring even more awareness to men's health.   There are also some musicians and athlete who will sport a full beard for this cause.  Lately though, I've seen these full beards on non-celebrity men, going about their daily lives.  While some men like a goatee, the trend is a full on beard for many.  Here's a thought, do you think men with beards are sexy?

Yes, ladies, do you think men with beards are sexy?  Well guess what?  The men who do wear beards think that they are!  Whaatttt?  Yep!  So that is why they still sport these full-on facial hair after Movember awareness has gone!  On details.com, Justin Fenner wrote that men do feel not just sexier but much more confident when they have a beard. A survey done by tool makers Braun found that 53% of men feel sexier to women because of their beards, and 41% feel even more confident.

Sometimes beards are used as a "badge of dominance".

They even surveyed men who were clean shaven, who confessed that the only reason they don't wear beards is because they couldn't grow any!  Hmmm, I wonder if this means there would be a lot of hairy guys walking around?!  I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. At any rate, there are some really cute guys out there don't you agree?!  You can go to the full article below to read more about bearded men, also, follow each link to learn more.

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.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.
