   Loving our Shape, Nobody is Perfect shapes

          Accentuating The Positive

Since I have worked in the fashion and image business, I have noticed as women, we often struggle with our body image. I believe women and teens struggle with these issues because of the Celebrity and media culture that they face daily. We are confronted with a narrow view of what is beautiful, inspiring, intelligent, kind and perfect.

When it comes to looks and physical appearance we are our toughest critics. Over the years I have seen how women become excessively concerned with the way they look and their appearance striving for perfection. The truth is no one is perfect.  If each of us had a stylist like the famous, or the software which print media uses to airbrush pictures, erase the wrinkles and make us taller and thinner would we like our body image any better?

For years, my daughter and I faithfully watched a certain exercise diva on television. Imagine our excited when we learned she would be making a visit to our town, and appearing at the local Gym. The advertisement invited everyone to come, meet her, ask questions, and spend a few hours joining her in one of her famous workouts. Although we were beginners, we decided to join the excitement and learn some new exercise techniques.

Always wanting to dress properly for any occasion, I decided to wear legging, an oversize t-shirt (to cover any bulges) and a headband so people would think I was a genuine exerciser. My daughter wore her shorts and a cute top; I thought we looked like an ordinary twosome going to the gym.

“Blonde Logic”

Two blondes were driving through Louisiana when they came to a sign that told them they were almost to Natchitoches. They argued all the way there about how to pronounce the name of the town.  Finally they stopped for lunch.  After getting their food, one of the blondes said to the cashier, “Can you settle an argument for us? Very slowly, tell us where we are.” The cashier leaned over the counter and said “Buuurrrrrr-Gerrrrrr Kiiiinnnnnggg”.

Blonde Logic

A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get it started.” He asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”

The blonde says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a tiger.” Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, looks at the box, then turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger.”

He takes her hand and says, “Second, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea and then…” he sighs…”Let’s put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box.”
