Notes About The Poem

Ashley G

Oh, do you know of Ashley G?
My woman crush, it's plain to see
just why I think she must be heard
and that is why I pass the word
A woman brave and sexy strong
who tells the shamers, "You are wrong!"
There is no one way we should be
a size plus siren, look at me!
I live my life just as I please
without a care, so let them tease!
I have the looks; I have the curves
When you see me, you're bound to swerve
and take a second and third look
my beauty goes beyond the book
I'm gorgeous, sexy, here to say,
'Now love your body, all the way'
I love my curves and cellulite
My handles that are out of sight!
I flaunt, I strut, and let them stare
This plus sized model doesn't care!
I'm Ashley G, my swimsuit line
and lingerie make big girls shine!"

I follow Ashley on the gram
and love her dearly, that's no scam
Oh, Ashley G, you're meant to be
The icon for big girls like me!

FJ Thomas March 14, 2018 at 4:17 PM OH!! ABOUT THE SOUPMAIL. I get them off ebay. Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 4:37 PM Thanks for the info, dear. :) Hugs

Viv Wigley March 14, 2018 at 3:00 AM Can't understand the obsession with stick insect women, Eileen. Nothing wrong with a bit of cuddly. Even the best looking cars have curves- 69 Corvette, E-type Jaguar. You gotta fight...for the right... for curvy! Woo! Viv x Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 2:21 PM Neither can I! Love the car analogy. I think, better have handles...give someone a good grasp! ;) Hugs and thanks for your lovely comment.

Paul Callus March 13, 2018 at 1:54 PM Ashley represents a large number of women who need not starve in order to look attractive! I hope your words will encourage others to look at life and physical aspects through more positive glasses. Regards & Hugs // paul Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 2:22 PM Thanks, Paul. I do wish I could shed some weight, but the obsession with skinny is killing many....literally. I love strong women like Ashley who have learned to love themselves despite what the world thinks. Thanks for the visit.

FJ Thomas March 13, 2018 at 9:13 AM Girl you couldn't draw a more perfect figure than that! ...bout time you posted something woman. Though to be honest if all you did was post saying "hey I'm here and I'm okay" I'd be happy ;D Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 2:23 PM Shadow...you are a very great encouragement to me. Thank you for what you post on my poetry. I'm glad you see me through lovely lenses. It makes me believe in myself and that is a great treasure. Bless you for it. Hugs :)

Richard Lamoureux March 12, 2018 at 8:46 AM She is quite gorgeous. It’s good to see you writing and taking time to visit your friends. Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 2:25 PM She really is, isn't she? More power to her and to others like her who aren't afraid to call out the fashion and entertainment industry out on not having enough representation of bigger women. Victoria's Secret is yet to give angel status to a plus size model. That's a crying shame!

Jan Allison March 11, 2018 at 7:48 PM Bravo Eileen so looks awesome and is a role model for many who are not built like stick insects - shes a REAL woman with gorgeous curves and more models should be she is:-) hugs jan xx Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 2:27 PM Thanks, dear. I don't want to be against thin....thin shaming is the same as fat shaming so I try to keep that in mind, but it's hard...Thanks for understanding the baggage we carry (in the shape of extra rolls HA HA). Hugs to you, dear. ;)

Andrea Dietrich March 11, 2018 at 6:31 PM She is very cool looking and for plus size, I don't really see much of love handles on her. I think she lost weight in the bottom picture. But she looks good any way you look at it. WELL SAID!! Eileen Manassian March 14, 2018 at 2:28 PM Thanks, dear. I think I played with the measurements on the bottom picture to make it fit. Funny, sometimes a person looks great in one pic and not so great in the other. Her Baywatch shoot wasn't her best, I think, but...that's the life of a model. You take it as it comes, and I LOVE Ashley! :)

Eve Roper March 11, 2018 at 4:57 PM this is an awesome write... we need not be ashamed of our bodies.. I need to look her up .. Hugs eve Eileen Manassian March 11, 2018 at 6:09 PM Thank you, Eve. She is doing a lot to promote body positivity. Models tend to be emaciated, and Ashley has proven that women can be sexy at bigger sizes. They don't have to be airbrushed. I truly admire her and people like Tess Holiday, Denise Bedot, and others. A woman's beauty comes from how she carries herself and her confidence. Beauty is beyond size. Hugs

Laura Leiser March 11, 2018 at 4:37 PM She is more sexy and attractive than a host of skinny models! Great write, Eileen :) Eileen Manassian March 11, 2018 at 4:48 PM OH...thanks, dear. I like her attitude. She is comfortable in her skin and that's a win to me. Hugs, dear.

Anne-Lise Andresen March 11, 2018 at 3:08 PM - Being "perfect" 24/7 ... no dream for me, dear Eileen :) - Lovely written :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Eileen Manassian March 11, 2018 at 4:21 PM Thank you, Sunshine. I'm glad you don't have to deal with these issues. If one is satisfied with who she is, that is the best. Hugs

Line Gauthier March 11, 2018 at 3:06 PM A lovely tribute. I hope you sent her a copy. Well done, Eileen. Eileen Manassian March 11, 2018 at 4:20 PM Thanks, Lin. I wonder if she would ever get it, but nice thought.

Arturo Michael March 11, 2018 at 11:30 AM This was written with grace...smooth reading...Enjoyed it...All the best Eileen Manassian March 11, 2018 at 12:50 PM Thank you, dear. I do admire her and follow her on instagram. :)
