Re: Curves are back!
I think mags are right to a certain extent when they advise on how to dress to your shape though. For example, apple-shaped girls are better suited to loose, flowy dresses etc.
There is apple, pear and banana shape and then there is the hour glass shape. I wonder if a pear or apple shape would be considered as curvy?
Re: Curves are back!
Its simply disgusting when you see people preaching as if you can change your body type or structure by just eating or not eating. I went to all girls school and college, and I knew plenty of Caucasian girls who eat all normally and healthily yet they wouldn't develop big ass, wide waist, huge bust or thick thighs. *Those slim and slender nymphs in the gym class were lot fitter and active than us curvy = 'healthy' desi girls. *
The educated and younger generation should know how to respect and embrace all types of female images. Why one always have to be 'better' than the other?
Right.
Re: Curves are back!
Errr excuse me? How is reading a Vogue in your *spare time is *any different from reading a book or watching TV?
Re: Curves are back!
Stoppit i feel your pain! I have a 12 inch difference between my waist and hips and find it very difficult to find jeans that fit me and dresses that get over my ass :( I am a size 8-10 and do consider myself to be curvy. Some people say i am fat some people say i am attractive due to my figure.

Yeah but the mistake they make is to seperate plus size from other shapes. A person can be plus size (US size 12 and up) and be an apple/pear/hourglass.
I think curvy is to do with hip to waist ratio? and having an hour glass figure?
That's my understanding of it.

Why don't you start with yourself? because I don't see anybody putting down "fat" bodies except you.

Hmm, I think a pear would be because of the larger bottom half but not an apple.

Right. Find me a post of mine where I used the word 'fat'?

Agreed.
Re: Curves are back!
Its simply pathetic. My teenaged sister, who is naturally tall, slim and slender (not anorexic for goodness sake) is one of the leading tennis players in her school, and she's literally the healthiest and fittest person in our family, yet she isn't considered 'healthy' in the eyes of nosy ignorant jahil aunties because she doesn't have a plumy, flabby all gol matol body. And I know how badly it hurts her esteem when desis call her unhealthy and underweight, when all her medical reports are perfectly normal and her PE teachers praise her athleticism. Now 'unhealthy' people don't make good athletes or do they?
It's clear you're using these words as insults and whether you like to admit it or not, you don't exactly sound like you're praising those who aren't "slender nymphs"

So just because I praised the slender types, it means I'm obviously insulting the other? Can I say the same for those who are praising the curvy type in this thread? LOL Yes the word 'fat' is a figment of your imagination, so don't accuse me of using words and ideas that I haven't even uttered. You like to assume a lot.

It's there in plain English.
Unlike you, I don't have to put others down to get my point across
Re: Curves are back!

Oh the irony...so all that praising of the curves that took place in previous pages must also be putting down of others to bring a point across? Or its just a praising of slender types that hit a nerve? lol
Re: Curves are back!
Oh another thinly veiled insult. yawn
Re: Curves are back!
after reading every page of this thread i Am seriously considering changing my name to Curvy Man
Re: Curves are back!
Naa take this 'insult'.
Slim and slender bods are cool. :D
Go ahead feel oh so 'insulted'.
Re: Curves are back!
Oh before everyone gets their undies in a collective twist and start wailing.
I really admire and appreciate curvy bodies. M. Monore for me is an epitome of hourglass, all feminine beauty as far as the media eye is concerned.
