Sexy at Any Size


I have had to deal with this problem my entire life.  However, I  have just discovered a new book that all of us full figured ladies need to read. Stella Ellis is the author of SIZE SEXY, How to Look Good, Feel Good, and Be Happy – at Any Size. Stella Ellis was born in Israel, speaks eight languages, has lived, studied and worked abroad and in the United States – and has resided there for over 20 years. She has worked in the fashion industry, TV and modeling.
Stella has gathered some great tips for women of all sizes.  It is time that we dispell  myths about full-figured women, and all head out to the pool with our girlfriends, to the beach with a cute date or to work,despite the scorching heat. 

The important thing is that we accept ourselves. When we accept ourselves, the rest of the world will too. Or they won’t – but that will be their problem. Throughout my entire life, I have been a full figured gal. I will never be a size 4,10, or even a 12, but that does not stop me from looking my best. As the weather heats up, we must grab the opportunity to wear sexy clothing, break out  great summer accessories, and flaunt, with class, our figure in yet another season.

To dress well, we first have to understand our body’s curves and shape–and then learn what looks most flattering on us. Most women are shaped like Apples, Pears, or Hourglasses. Assess your body in a full length mirror and then select a wardrobe that flatters your assets and minimizes the areas that are less trim. Yes, skinny girls have the same problems with accentuating the best and camouflaging the rest.

Be feminine, confident, sexy, and glamorous! To own our style we must remember self-acceptance and a positive attitude makes us unique, confident, and happy. We are not all born to be or look like super models, but we are all just as sexy beautiful and fabulous.
It is time that full-figured women rule!   There is more of us to love!   We will talk about exercise later.


(A Note to the Men:  The eyes are the windows of the soul.  In them you will see a beautiful woman.  Honest, sincere, an incurable romantic and dreamer, believing  that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is within the person, beyond the skin.  Please do not be fooled, a woman with the perfect body is not everything!)


A POEM TO US


Here is a poem
i just wrote today
not much of a poem
but this I will say:

Funny how we met
online is what we'll say
when friends ask how 
this is what I’ll say:

I wrote him a poem
simple as its seems
the man of her life
the man of her dreams

We shall see
if dreams do come true
but for now my dear
this poem I give you:

I may not be skinny, 
petite or bold
but with my curves 
you have more to hold.

I may not eat like a hummingbird
but I dont eat in the closet,
that is just too absurd.

I will kiss you and hold you
and show you I care
I will love you always
 beyond compare.

So I hope you will see
what’s inside of me.
I have a lot to offer
I’m sure you’ll agree.
