This lunchtime a friend sent me a link to this slide show from MSN Life & Style, showcasing the 10 Celebrity Body Shapes we Love. My friend thought I might appreciate the generous application of the word “curvy” in what he deemed an “insidious and dangerous” feature.

I got some great responses to my Disney vs Feminism post yesterday, thank you all! But one, from Fia at The Laundry Narrative, really inspired me. I ended up writing a long reply to her comment… and eventually decided to address the issues in a follow-up post instead!
(This is why I love social media – [...]

This one’s for my curvaceous lady readers. Set up by Gemma Cartwright of Catwalk Queen fame, Big Girls Browse is a one stop shop for:

Yup, it’s getting more official by the day – curves are back. And we’re not talking Dita Von Teese or Eva Longoria curves (though those ladies are indeed curvaceous!), but real-world curves – the type you get from eating food, not forcing your waist into a teeny tiny corset. The latest proof of this comes [...]

Posted by: Caroline on: April 14, 2009
Ok, I know, there have been no outfit shots for a few days… because between bowling (which the skinny teen in the neighbouring aisle may have managed in a micro mini, but places me very practically in pants) and dog-walking (jeans and trainers only thank you very much!)

Well ladies (and gents), it seems the after-effects of Christmas are catching up with me. This morning I found myself struggling to fasten the majority of my skirts, and I feel the need to do something about it. No doubt I’m not the only one out there who feels this way on this cold and [...]

Surely that’s an impossibility? But anyway…
I’ve not seen the SATC movie yet, so this is not going to provide any spoilers. What I have done is read various reviews, and I’m disgusted at what I’m reading. SJP is being widely sniped at for looking like a “skeletal transvestite” (The Daily Telegraph), for having a large [...]

I think I must have woken up in some sort of parallel universe this morning. Because today I’m wearing jeans.
Not just any jeans either. And not even my much-loved wide-legged flares, oh no. I’m wearing my NEW black, skinny-cut flares, bought in a fit of lunchtime retail therapy yesterday. Bought in a fit of lunchtime [...]
