Dangerous Curves ahead..

Homage to My Hips

these hips are big hips.
they need space to 
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top

So I'm sitting in the library with my daughter who is working on a research paper.. I grab a book of poetry which I hardly ever do... and the book opened to this poem. It spoke to me as if Ms. Clifton herself were reading it..
 Love your Hips..
 No matter the size..
Don't let the world tell you how to feel about them ..
 Look with God's Eyes..
Women may whisper Men may stare...
 But never let either determine your worth..
Thick hips are Definitely a Blessing but more often a Curse. :)


CHILE BOO... Love those CURVES! I know I do..

More like 45- 40- 50 now... And STILL the BOMB!!

So I wrote this blog a few years back.. but it's still very real today.. 




Okay first off let me just say.. Skinny Chics.. I apologize for calling you heffas.. I was Hating .. I was.. I missed being able to shop in the BODY SHOP ... I miss not having to watch what I eat.. and not gain a pound... I never thought I would have to ask the cleric wear the Spanks were... I use to be one of you sistas.. and it was fun while it lasted... but now I have moved on up in the world......
42- 39- 48 3/4... That's all of DIONNE...AND?

I have been thinking about this for a while now after having a convo with someone who noticed someone that frequents her page had posted some recent pictures that did not look like her AT ALL! They were about 100lbs heavier. That wasn't the problem.. the problem was they were still using the SKINNY picture as a main photo..

After hearing her say that.. I realized that I was guilty of the same thing myself... I have posted old pictures in blogs before because well hell.. I didn't like the BIGGER me... I walked with my head down, Hardly made eye contact with people who were use to the SMALLER me.. I didn't want to go to my class reunion.. you know that type of thing. But for some reason lately I have been like F**K IT! I'm still the shit... I don't have to be a perfect 10 anymore... I'm Perfectly IMPERFECT as a 16... 

42- 39- 48 3/4...

And like light bulbs.. as soon as I actually believed that... you wouldn't believe how other's begin to notice .. without me trying to get them to NOTICE.. For example...One day I pull up to the gas station and get out to pay for some gas.. and this lil young guy ask.. if he could take me out .. Now he was SO NOTTTTT my type.. he had 30 in. rims on a RoadMaster, he could holla hop in a fruit loop... and saggin his pants... But he was determined to get my number.. That was cute.. Especially seeing that his lil brother is a friend of my SON!!! Nope not happening... But then Saturday... at the gas station again.. I had a convo with a guy for about 15 mins. He opened my door bought me a lil gas station rose... ( Cheap and cheezy as all hell but he was thinking on his feet I like that..) he said he loved my THICKNESS.... I told him that I have a *HIM* and he continued to tell me how he didn't care WHATSOEVER because he was Temporary... But I told him I had to go and get my dad some food and as I was leaving he said he would wait right there for me to come back.. I drove off smiling but I thought nothing else of it!

I left got the food, came home, picked up my HIM and headed back to my dad's house and I look over at the gas station and he was still sitting there... I guess he saw me and pulled out and I looked up and he was behind us. I was CTFU ... My HIM wasn't but... I thought it was hilarious... But I realized that I didn't have to be a Skinny Chic to be noticed... Say it with me.... 42- 39- 48 3/4
Love it or Hate it!!!

... this was me in 2004.. It's now 2012. 

 Now I'm 45- 40- 50.. Yep 50 inch hips..and proud of EVERY ONE OF THEM...  

And I hope you are just as proud of YOURS...

Now don't get it twisted.. I am not proud of my curves because of a man's attention.. I'm proud of me because in spite of all the names we are called.. in spite of all the names I was called even as a skinny chic.. I'm still HERE!.. They gave me their BEST.. and I'm still HERE.. OF COURSE I stumbled.. ALOT.. but I didn't fall. I attribute that to the love and support I get from friends and family.. If you don't have that support system.. those that will REMIND you, not to try to convince YOU, that you are beautiful.. .that's what this page is for.. Here.. you should always feel comfortable being YOU!...Curves and ALL! Have a FANTABULOUS DAY.. no matter what.. Let every HALLWAY.. be your RUNWAY!... *wink*

With Love....

Me... 

Full Figure Potential

And That my friends... is the beginning of our Journey together...
