Is it a compliment to be worn proudly or does it mean I should pull out the old running shoes and find my membership card to the gym? I gotta wonder what men think when they see the famous paintings of nudes by the impressionists like Rubens or Botticelli. I guess full-figured women were really the rage then (gee, if that’s the case maybe I could have graced their calendar as Miss March!) I could just hear them now “Hey Sandro, get a load of the rolls on this one!” Curves were supposedly a sign of wealth and stature. Well, if one is voluptuous, as in ‘fatter-than-the-baby-Jesus’ voluptuous, I think I was born in the wrong century. I guess it doesn’t really matter how much a person weighs because 170 lbs. on one person may look totally different on someone else. I considered it downright intimidating when I went to an amusement park for instance, and the carnie said, “I’ll guess your weight for a dollar.” (When the guy got it right I wanted my money back.) Women shouldn’t worry so much about weight, but, whether you say it or not, it’s probably always in the back of our minds. We need to learn to be happy with who we are-not how much we weigh or how tall or short we are. Still, I don’t know where the term curvaceous came from, but I’d venture to say it’s Latin for ‘you’ve had enough pie.’
