The Curvy Model

PRETTY PRETTY PICTURES FINALLY HERE! Party Edition:

Hilary: Attached is a photo of my husband and I at a wedding a few weeks ago. There is something about getting dressed up - since you don’t do it all that often - that makes you feel beautiful and elegant. This dress I am wearing reminds me of the ocean, and always makes me feel pretty and glamorous.

Annissa: This is me on the beach while camping. It was a moment of happiness and confidence and for some reason I wanted to be vain and take a photo of myself. Not just any part of myself, but the dreaded lower half. You know, the part of the body that strikes fear deep into my fat girl soul. And from below! I ended up really liking this photo, mostly because it’s breaking all the rules. There’s something empowering about being a headless fatty sometimes and there’s something very beautiful about how off-kilter and unkempt I look.

Renae: I’m on the right in this picture. It makes me happy whenever I stumble upon it because it reminds me of a great night at my friends party, she is on the left. All my friends were there and we were all dressed up and smiling the whole night. Plus, I love that dress.

Ashley: Even though most of my face is cut off it really shows a time where I am completely myself. It’s just me and my best friend being totally ourselves together and giggling over the dumbest thing while drinking wine that came from a box. Every time I look at this picture I remember how happy I was in that moment and how happy my best friend makes me and I can’t wait till she comes home (from Europe where she has been living for the past few years). I don’t care that I have multiple chins or that she is making a weird face—this picture to me is perfection!

Annie: Though blurry, this was a candid from a shoot about a month after I moved out of an unhealthy relationship, back in with my family. Struggling to see myself as I really was, and this was my first glance :) Finally started to believe I was beautiful, that I was worth more than what other led me to believe. I feel more confident and more in my skin as each day passes. but this was the start, a fun photo shoot with good friends.

You are all beautiful! <3 Thank you so much for your pretty pretty pictures!! :D Have an awesome hump day! :}

So, Kevin and I had a date night! We ate tons of Thai food, and walked around a park in the North Side! It was very cute and romantic, also it was after work so that’s what kept me going all day.

Last week I binged on Thai food, probably 4 meals…

This week I need to save money, take all of my finals, move out and into another apartment! AHHHH

Today is “Super Saturday”! Which is a big day at our school, basically consists of drinking, socializing, and drinking some more. I am going to carry around a bottle of white wine, because I don’t feel like drinking beer tonight… One bottle of wine seems to suffice, without me getting too bad. I might post a picture of me and my wine bottle later, yes I drink out of the bottle! :}

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! See you tomorrow!

Pretty Pretty Picture time!! (NYE/Holiday Theme!)

(I am not wearing this tonight, but if I would have bought it off the designer I might be wearing it!! :) That was a fun shoot)

Hello new decade!

Basically what this includes is all of my followers (OK not all) will send me a photo of themselves when they felt pretty/sexy/handsome/confident. They write a little explanation on why they feel confident there, and I post them up on my blog!

So, I know there is a photo of you where you feel pretty IN YOUR New Years/Holiday get-up! Please send it to me via e-mail. I will post it up here and you do not have to be curvy, or a female. Just a picture you like of yourselves, and a reason why you think you look pretty/handsome.

P.S.S. You have until Sunday around 4pm to send me these photos. I will be posting them as I get them.

P.S.S.S. I am just lounging around my house in jeans and a tee I got from good will… (As you see below) haha.
