Is That Fat on That Supermodels Back?

Victoria’s secret model Karolina Kurkova is getting blasted for what some call back fat. I prefer to use the term “packages” but to each his own. Not only that, but the press is criticizing her cellulite as well.

Shoot me now! A woman with cellulite, what a crime. I almost have to laugh because reports have said that the audience was “shocked” when she appeared on the runway.

I’ll be shocked when people get off this “fat is evil” kick and start worrying about more important issues.

I understand models have to look a certain way but come on. To me it doesn’t even look like fat, it looks like wrinkles from the way she was standing but whatever.

According to Forbes, Kurkova is one of the worlds highest paying models so I guess that’s what justifies these news reports.

I wonder what she’ll do now…ignore it, exercise like a mad woman, get lipo, or starve to death.


A Curvy Diva’s Guide to Swimsuits

Alright ladies, I don’t know how it’s going where you live, but here it’s HOT and that means it’s time to break out the swimsuit.

Here’s the thing, I hate swimsuits, I can’t think of a time where I’ve ever been 100% comfortable in a swimsuit. That’s probably because I don’t like people staring at my chest, so I like to cover up as much as possible.

I wanted to give a few tips on summer swim wear but the only tip I can think of is to wear something that’s flattering for your body type. So what if they make bikini’s in a size 18; that doesn’t mean it looks good on you. With all due respect, don’t pull a Keely Shaye Smith.

I know we all want to be cute and sexy but cute and sexy doesn’t always mean show as much skin as possible. I don’t care what size you are, everyone has problem areas. Don’t flaunt them and hope that people will think it’s sexy.

  • If your breasts are large and in charge, get a swimsuit with some support so they don’t come flopping down and falling out on all the kids in the pool.
  • If your back has a few extra packages, don’t wear something with your back all out. Wear something that’s flattering to your entire figure.
  • If your thighs are well fed then don’t go prancing around in a G-string. There are some really cute swim skirts and cover ups that are a lot sexier than string up your butt.
  • If your belly is deliciously round, then that’s cool but bare midriff styles were not made with your body type in mind.

Mommy Must Be Proud- Worlds Largest Fake Boobs

Speaking of needing a good bra.

The things some people will do for attention.

Entertainer Maxi Mounds has made a Guinness World Record for having the Worlds Largest Augmented Breasts. Each one weighs 20 pounds.

I’m not even going to post the picture because I don’t want this site to get trapped in the adult filters. But for the curious, you can see a photo and read more details here.

There’s no way this lady doesn’t have backaches everyday.

I wonder does Jill Scott’s Butterfly Collection come in her size.

Butterfly Collection Inspired by Jill Scott

Oh yes, the marketing has begun for Jill Scott’s Butterfly Collection and I must say that I’m getting one of those bras! The collection is only available at Ashley Stewart and now you can order online!

They even have a strapless version, but I do have to scratch my head on that one. If your breasts are big enough to warrant buying one of these bras then you don’t need to wear anything that’s strapless. Then again, there are always halter tops.

I’ll let you know when I get one and have a chance to test it out. I want to see if it helps with my shoulder pain because I love my chest, but I hate the pain that comes with it.

P.S. Ashley Stewart Marketing Department, feel free to send me a free sample! I’ll let you know my size.

Fashion Bug, Lane Bryant & Catherines are Closing…

Don’t worry, they aren’t shutting down completely, just about 150 stores.

According to AOL:

” Charming Shoppes, Inc. is closing 150 underperforming stores, laying off 150 employees and reducing the amount of stores it will open in 2009. The closures will leave Charming Shoppes with approximately 900 Fashion Bug stores, 923 Lane Bryant stores and 471 Catherine’s stores. “

That’s not too bad, besides the fact that tons of people will lose their jobs.

But it’s a tough economy, what can we do?
