The Biggest Loser

MPV.....my point of view!
The Biggest Loser

'Does my bum look small in this?'.Years ago,this question would have been such a positive thing but these days it is not.It is the new 'insecurity' amongst women who do not fit into the criteria of 'bootylicious'.

Anyone remember the weight watching reality television program,'The Biggest Loser'?The individual who lost the most weight,won a cash prize.For the longest time people,especially women,strive to be stick thin like runway models because that was the in thing.The common 'insecurity' question was,'Does my bum look big in this?'(and if you are a guy you would have to answer with a 'No',if you knew what was good for you).

That is why eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia where on the rise,like a plague.People still suffer from eating disorders in effort to be like runway models.It does not help that the women voted as the sexiest woman alive look like hungry,third world country children.(That is not a compliment Mila,Angie...)

But nowadays,thanks to Jennifer Lopez,Beyonce and Kim Kardashian,the bigger the derriere,the better.This 'bootylicious' trend has turned on the waif like women.Now slim,or less curvy women are striving for curves,taking everything from chicken soup to curve enhancing pills,or creams to having implants.(err,Nicki??).

I recall one guy asking me if I could do Beyonce's 'Crazy In Love' booty hop,and I said no.He then remarked that maybe if I ate and gained weight,I would have a booty.The nerve.(I silently took offence).

No.I do not desire to gain weight.I have a Caucasian physique,so I will never,never have curves in the right places.Unfortunately for women like me in our African society,it is hard not to be insecure.Curves are so in,so unless I attain curves,I will always be at the butt of everyone's jokes,or insults.

Y'all know what,I am sick and tired of the biggest loser.Why can't a woman just be the way she is and not be considered 'unsexy' because she is not 'bootylicious',or rail-thin enough.

As a woman,my biggest gain should be being confident with my height,shape and weight.How I look should be up to me for my own reasons,not because of societal or media expectations.Yes Beyonce is fine as hell(curvy),so is Adrianna Lima (waif-like),so is Cameron Diaz (boyish),so is Monique (full-figure),so is Kylie Minogue (petite),and so am I (fearfully and wonderfully made).

The Biggest Loser,bootylicious,sexiest woman,size 2,plus size....just allow me to look like me.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

The Red Season: Breadcrumbs of Love

No matter how broken you are, a meal of love is what you need. For the first time in a long time, I will admit on this platform, I will admit that I cried. I felt humiliated and hurt. Mariah Carey's "Cry" is playing in my head. I keep asking myself why am I this person? Why do I keep scraping for crumbs of love? Am I not enough? And following a recent disappointment, I reverted to a quote that I saw on a certain blog. "You could have the best intentions, you could have the most sincere feelings, and you could be a good woman and you still wouldn't be able to keep a man because the only way to keep a man is if that man wants to be kept by you,"  Sipho Mbhele.

5 Inexpensive Dates in a Bad Economy

If he's making the economy an excuse, swipe left.... A guy who makes too many excuses whilst pursuing you is not worth your time. He will make excuses for not making time for you. More so, for not taking you on a date. A real man makes a plan...all the time! Yes, the economy is atrocious...a complete nightmare! Does that mean that humanity stops? Y'all,  we have procreation to continue until the end of time. A season of a recession, shouldn't hinder dates, relationships and the whole nine yards that come with that package. Couples over centuries overcame obstacles such as family feuds, classism, racism, tribalism, religious differences etc. They all found a way around those challenges. Any guy who uses 'in this economy' as an excuse is dropped like a pin. Honestly, such an individual lacks ambition and creativity. I want the flowers, chocolate, and the date. Otherwise...skrrr! You will have to show innovation in your pursuit. If you can't be strategic w

The Writings On The Wall

Thou shall move onto the next! And then 'If You Leave' by Destiny's Child and Next starts to play. Gosh, 'The Writings on the Wall' remains my favourite Destiny's Child album, ever. The concept of the '10 commandments' of relationships. Brilliant!  Bonjour, mes amies! Comment ça va? Ça va bien! (Caribbean accent) Your gyal ,  moi , has been experiencing epiphanies. And a few disappointments, but life is too sweet to be upset. Lick your ice cream and have sweet red wine! I travelled through the blogosphere for inspiration for our topic today. Ironically, I also had a discussion with an acquaintance about a similar topic. There's nothing that I love more than people who brag about their intelligence. Oh, my! People pride themselves on their levels of education, often equating it to intelligence. We assess our value based on having degrees, master's degrees, and doctorates. If only those worked in relationships. I think of David Robson's 'W

Chocolate!

Oogling and drooling as I lust after the delicious,yummy chocolate abs of...gush...Trey Songz in a music video. My male friends look at me as if I'm some perverted male...maybe I am. Sadly as a woman such men are just a mirage in a desert full of pot bellied men.Yes,I said it!I believe I speak on behalf of my sisters,who have been termed 'overambitious',and having high standards in the looks department.We would love to see more abs and less flab. Why our brothers keep mount Everests of flesh I fail to understand.Worse still,men boobs that could hold shares in a dairy company. Who would blame me.I become a pervert because Usher's six-pack makes me want to eat of it,or I'm actually envious of Generations' Queen Moroka having 'Muscle man' Lungile,hold her in his arms.Yes,guilty as charged! What my brothers should understand is most women already have stuffed toys,a new addition in the form of a man is not adorable.A little working out w

Dirty Laundry Diaries: Hurts Like a Mother F***er

My humanity will let me hurt as much as I can and be unapologetic for it… I never thought that I would find myself at this place again. Over the past few years, I learnt the word ‘No’ and embraced my power to reject mediocrity. Be it work, life and even romantic relationships. Sigh! I recently found myself breaking almost every rule of every self-help book that I’ve read. Reading is supposed to empower you with knowledge and also help you with making better life choices! Anyway, I recently had to break it off with some guy because of ‘incorrect assumptions’, when will I ever learn? "In my own rule book,   CONSISTENCY is very important." In my own rule book, CONSISTENCY is very important. The moment that there is lack of consistency during the dating period or in a relationship it’s, “Off with his head” (In the voice of the queen of hearts). Sic! But what started off well, ended up like the familiar script that I have writing about for a long time. As Whitney
