Curves Are Sexy

I'm starting to really get into the whole concept of a social media community at this point. I know that currently I don't have any followers on here, but that's okay. I'm mostly doing this to entertain myself. Plus I long since abandoned keeping a journal, because I realized the only time I felt compelled to write is when I was upset about something. So far, that's not the case here and I don't think it will be. There are far too many fun and colorful things out there to make this be an outlet for the drab. (Yes, I'm aware my background is in sepia. I do however plan on spicing it up now that I'm getting the hang of all the available tools out there.)

I'm also thoroughly enjoying some of the blogs that I have started following and I love to see a community of such strong and witty women around the world. In my personal opinion I think women are far too hard on each other and truthfully that's no good for any of us. I'm fully aware that I probably freak a couple of my co-workers out at times. It's not uncommon to hear one of them mention how they need to diet or that the non-Healthy Choice microwave meal is going to go straight to their ass. I immediately jump in every time and tell them that they're beautiful the way they are and they don't have anything to worry about. Which often results in a weird and uncomfortable look and a quick scurry back to their desks in order to avoid eye contact with me.

Let me make this clear, I'm straight, but I appreciate a women's natural beauty thank you very much. Too often do we put ourselves down (myself included) and I think it's important that we help each other out when we hear those self-damning comments. Women as a whole relay far too much on the opinion of men and are in constant competition with one another. Well enough of that I say!

It was reading Airing My Dirty Laundry's post today that set my mind on this path this afternoon. She was talking about how people were putting down the lead character in Girls. When that show initially came out I did watch a few episodes, but couldn't really get into it, but I respect the message they're trying to portray.

We should put more focus on being nice people instead of centering our world's around being cosmetically enhanced and believing that Cover Girl is that answer to all our worldly problems. Damn it, curves are sexy!
