Our Dangerous Curves

About This Journal

What I'm calling goddess size is more commonly referred to as plus size. Well, plus size has to go. From what is it plus? Why is it a deviant category? Is it a way of making us uncomfortable with ourselves and with who we are? To heck with it!

My primary experience comes from a lifetime of being bigger than what might be desired. But instead to letting it hurt me, I have embraced it as what I am. I would love to continue spreading a message of self-acceptance--and the message that goddess size women can still be complete knockouts.

I'm looking into a few topics at the moment.

1) New ideas of beauty and fashion

2) Owning being goddess size as opposed to hiding it

3) Clothing to make a woman self-confident at any size

4) Safety concerns in fashion (like skintight jeans as bad for between the legs and the belly)

5) Goddess size pretties and what they were wearing

I am passionate about this subject. I feel no embarrassment in being a goddess size woman, as I have always been. But I've also been out to look my best--to choose those fashions that enhanced my figure instead of simply hiding it. It's my impression that many women feel the same way, that beauty and fashion are so much more than what runways would have us believe. My goal is to share tips with women readers on how to adorn their beautiful figures with the amazing array of bigger fashions that are available.
