Living in our society can be difficult when the media is pressuring us to believe that “thin is in”. This is why I am so excited about V Magazine’s upcoming “The Size Issue”, featuring 5 plus size models. The issue will hit newsstands Thursday, January 14. Photographer Solve Sundsbo told V, “I loved the opportunity to show that you can be beautiful and sexy outside the narrow interpretations that normally define us.”

My sentiments exactly!

What a wonderful way to start off the new year by embracing your curves! Personally I would like my hips to be wider since I find that so womanly and sexy! Hooray for curves! Ladies, embrace your amazing bodies! Stop tearing yourself down in 2010.

Styling by Nicola Formichetti.

Divas, what do you think of the new issue?

Love and Lollipops,
