We went to the Versace Exhibition last summer, it was great but also made me so sad … it reminded me of just how skinny all the women were meant to be in the 90s, I mean the waist on all the clothes wouldn’t fit over my right b**b!!
Some people are naturally that size and are gorgeous but blumin ‘eck … what on earth was going on? We had to be so frail and weak and to not take up any space at all …. wanted to get in a Time Machine and go hug us all ….
I got down to a size 4 and people complimented me, I felt successful, when my dress size rose from that I felt a failure.
I am naturally a curvy girl so it just didn’t suit me at all and when I look at photos of me just ten years ago it reminds me how far I’ve come. I love the softness of my body, my tummy forever changed by pregnancy is beautiful and now makes me smile, it is like my soul has relaxed and I have finally found peace with myself.
It felt good to walk around the exhibition as I am now - it felt like a finger up to the trend setters then, women, you are beautiful, just the way you are - dance and be proud, you’ve achieved a lot and we keep moving forward.
And well done to this generation for out growing that hyper control by the media of our bodies, women in generations above you are proud of you ❤️.
… it’s frankly no one’s business what our bodies are doing …
Have a great rest of the Sunday,
Love you loads
