Sized for Beauty~Great Links...

Outfit by Sandmaiden at www.etsy.com and her clothes are sized to 22-24.



From Women's Day magazine:



Now from ME:
I was sent this on my Facebook page and loved it. It's a brief video about the importance of women having lovely well cut clothes at any size.


As anyone work on whatever program geared toward their health & wellness I do not get it why on top of everything else some people want to believe that a person is suppose to go & hide in a corner apologizing for taking up space or breathing because they are large.


Is it I wonder, that because, heaven forbid, dared to be here, here on this earth because of some false manufactured standard of beauty & if you do not measure down to it, that the expectations is you should hide walking around in sackcloth & ashes declare "Woe is me! Woe is me" until somehow miraculously the weight will fall off and we will be a false "healthy" size? Or shall we pad around in a la Mrs. Roper (of 3's Company)"


Well I have long been DONE with such a punitive attitude as it is counter-productive and does not work otherwise we would not have 2/3 of the country over weight and 30% of that number obese.

Everything is not fair and equal, however, not finding appropriate beautiful clothes to clothe our ample bodies should not be one of those unfair & unequal things!

Good grief, we need to at least have workout clothes so we can workout! We need to be able to join a gym and not be snickered at or ignored unless we want to be alone as we are doing all the things to be healthy.

Anyway, the video makes me smile, bear the fact that at least 45 seconds are commercials...

YA YA!

Wear its At!

Ma Eartha


Ma Josephine


We often time spend so much time on dropping weight and put off for that magical day "when I lose enough weight I wil______________" (you can fill in the blanks). I like to along the process to do things that feel good help me to look my best enough when I am not (yet) at my best.






today at www.Etsy.com which is one of my new fascinations, I am finding a calvacade of all sorts of handcrafved things that are if nothing else a joy to look at and dream.






And there it was : a store on the site with vintage cat eye glasses. I spent 2 hours purusing and drooling over several ones when I found a pair a la' Josephine Baker they are so outrageous that I fell in love with. I have difficulty in finding things that fit necause even at my regular weight deep set eyes and high cheeckbones broad forehead glasses I like tend to look way to small.






You have to have a certain amount of chitzpah to wear them. I do...






But I like these as well as another pair I could see the legendary late Eartha Kitt would glide into the room with.






I am showing them here as part of my fantasy Wear it At file
