fabulous fat vs sexy slim

i like to think that i have one of the best shapes around, the reason is not so far fetched. if i were to apply for Miss Nigeria my statistics would read 34-28-42! throw ina pair of endless long legs and the most beautiful chocolate skin, and you have me described. so you can imagine my disamy and disbelief when out of no where i began to drop in weight, my hips disappeared, my waist became even tinier and my twins, well lets just say padded bras had to come back in.

i began to envy the fat and proud around me, there was a particular lady who i obsessed after, she was fair and pretty, she had hips and boobs ...ok she had a tummy but thats beside the point, she was fabulously fat and i was green with envy. she would appear in anything and she would look well put together while yours truly was going around in clothes hanging off bones.
i began to fantasize about getting fat, i piled up on the calories and found every opportunity to snooze after four weeksi noticed i was filling out nicely the hips were getting rounder and the twins were getting back to shape..alas the tummy began to bulge as well!

now my cheeks have blown out, i am not fat but it sure feels like it, this is not what i want i tell myself as i stand in front of my full lenght mirror I WANT MY SEXY SLIM BACK! fat may look fabulous on others but on me...it simply sucks!

what was i thinking? Every one to his own, i'll stick to my statistics and be content with what i have got, now before you begin to wonder what this has to do with fashion....it doesnt!

Better on the mannequin........

This is a protest. A war. A plea. A shout, to any one who cares to listen.....i am tired of being decieved! Why? Am i the only one who loves good clothes? i walk into a shop and a most exquisite looking silk blouse with silver buttons is on display, gayly worn by a blonde mannequin, my whole body turns automatically towards this delicate piece of fine clothing, only to discover that its not my size! B..b..but it looked like a perfect ten i protest as the sales man snatches it from my hands with apparent glee( he's probably thinking,see this does not come in your size). What better size can a lady be? Am supposed to find my size everywhere, in every shade of color, in every piece of clothin......jeans, pants, shirts, skirts, leggings! I am a size ten! So why, oh why do you decieve me so, elegant mannequin from another planet? Why have you chosen to mock me? Why must everything look good on you oh mannequin? so perfect, so trim and so damn beautiful!
Everything looks good on you mannequin, better on you than on me. Why must the boutiques, the shops, the open markets decieve me so? Pinning up the clothes on the mannequin to attract me.
If only you would put on size ten clothing, oh mannequin, then i will give you a pat on the back for giving me a glimpse of how gorgeous i would look in that little black dress you wear so well.
I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin, surely that is not too much to ask, i may not be a mannequin but i am a very very beautiful size ten, or is that such a bad thing?

fashion who are you?

Fashion, i dont know who you are or where you sprouted from but i know you have gone too far this time, fashion did you really have to make the skirts shorter? or the jeans tighter? and what were you thinking when you decided to take the sleeves off the blouses? and plunge the necks of our tops?
Fashion do you really think what you are doing is discreet? oh so you dont know that the bands you took off from the jeans only made the ladies sexier, fashion i really expected more from you, i mean leggings? now what is that about, an excuse for the ladies to come out nude in sheer form fitting material.
Iknow what you are going to say fashion, that  the ladies dont know how to wear your creations right. thats not an excuse fashion, after making such wonderful clothing in the 20th century did you get tired of having the ladies cover it all up?
I dont know you fashion, and i dont know when you happened but i do know i want more of you.....only, i will not take what you give me i will take from it and mould it for me.
Fashion, don't ever leave but please be sane.
