From the "Woah" files...


I was measured for a bridesmaid dress earlier this week and my waist is a whole 30cm smaller than my bust and hips... I'm the real life Jessica Rabbit! I also have really long legs and a stubby torso... but I sort of knew that already. I have really long skinny hands and feet completely disproportionate to the ahem plump nature of the rest of my body as well. Isn't it funny how completely different each of us is made? Even my friends who are the same size in clothing as me are made in completely different shapes. Yet they are all gorgeous in their own ways!
I'll take my crazy hourglass figure any day of the week... I don't think I'd feel like me without it. Readers, what's your body shape? Do you love it? Why?

  1. It is strange isn't it, i'm the same as you, although i have friends who are the exact same size as me, some of the things they look great in i just look terrible in!! I'm slowly starting to find what looks good on me now though, its taken 23years, you'd think i would have figured that out by now.

  2. I'm an hourglass, baby! And couldn't be happier :) I love my shape because I find it fairly easy to lose weight, but on the negative side, I also find it really easy to GAIN weight, too! :o

  5. @ Em - I have what feels like a ginormous ass! In fact, when certain obnoxious members of society choose to insult me, "fat ass" is usually the insult of choice.
    @ Paper Doll - I'm learning too, and from Kim Kardashian of all people. She has a big butt and she embraces it rather than hiding it away behind baggy clothes which makes it look even larger
    @ Miss Corrine - PCOS certainly hasn't helped with the weight gain, and it's not helping with the weight loss either. I'm almost tempted to go on Sureslim but it requires too much exact timing of meals which isn't a luxury I have right now. Have to be content with slow and steady.
