Finally, the scientific proof is in, super skinny models in advertising do not sell more merchandise. As if we needed a study to tell us that. Seriously, I have never understood the whole emaciated model phenomenon…

Joan Rivers is finally letting her age show. Once upon a time she was actually funny and I loved watching her, no matter what she was doing. She was witty, self deprecating, and she made it all look like fun. But apparently the anesthesia has finally taken its toll…

A while back, I wrote a Bootylicious Rule about having signature items in your life that show the world who you are. One of the items I discussed in my own life is my signature perfume, Pink Sugar. I just recently joined the Amazon Associates program, and one of the products that I am promoting is this wonderful perfume. Read More
If your behind is hanging a little bit low, a little saggy, or maybe dragging on the floor, a real quick and easy trick to get it to stand up is to put on heels.

I know the word bootylicious may seem like a strange word to positively describe a woman. Many of you may be saying, “What is this bootylicious thing you speak of?” But when I see a woman with voluptuous curves, who embraces her body, or women who may not be very voluptuous at all but still feel comfortable in their own skin, or the woman who feels and thinks that she is beautiful and sexy no matter what anyone else thinks, I think, now that’s a bootylicious diva. It is a fun, juicy word that says a mouthful and means even more.
I can’t help but be reminded of when I first saw Destiny’s Child perform the song about their bodies being too bootylicious. They were celebrating curves, celebrating beauty, celebrating the way as women we are all different but still desirable. That song reminded us that there is not just one standard of beauty that we should all aspire to. It also showed us that we as women should use our God given gifts, mental, physical, and emotional to achieve whatever it is that we strive for.
I believe that every woman is powerful and that we are all beautiful in our own way. Some of us realize it and we take every step necessary to make sure that the world sees us for who we are and some of us are still trying to achieve it, but we are very much on the right path. But one thing is for sure, we all have great potential, and we should all have the hope and courage to live the best life we want to live, to be the best women we can be, and to show the world every aspect of our glorious bootyliciousness.
Now I want to hear from you. Do you appreciate your body, your talents, your gifts ? Are you a bootylicious diva? If you don’t think you are, how do you think you could start living the life that you want?
Okay, so this is the third post about some form of nudity in as many days. But I have to honestly say, given the choice between clothes and no clothes, I would choose to just put perfume on and go any day.
When you think about it, clothes are such a hassle. Nothing ever fits like it’s supposed to. If you have a little extra, you have to adjust it so it fits. Or add the dreaded foundation garments. Then there are all the bumps and bulges and ridges that you have to deal with if you weigh more than 100 pounds. A size 8 fits like a 10 or a 2 depending on the designer. And now, what is this skinny jean madness? I hated them the first time around in the 80’s and now they are back. I’m sorry, but boot cut and low rise will always be my friend, of course that is when the designer has half a brain to make the waist in the low rise pants wide enough to accommodate those of us who actually have hips and butts.
It is a never ending struggle to find the right outfit for the right occasion. Formal, semi-formal, casual. I could spend a lifetime picking out, coordinating, and accessorizing every outfit for every event. Or I could just go nude and add jewelry and cute shoes.
Think about it. Formal= A sparkly slip on shoe, diamond earrings and necklace to match and a cute little clutch for lipstick. Business Attire= Too easy, my birthday suit, pearls and black or navy pumps depending on the statement I want to make. Casual= Hello! Flip flops!!
Can you imagine how much time we would save in the morning? And if we get cold, Pashminas in every color or even a sleek poncho should do the trick. Just think of how much money we could save too.
I guess the only real problem with the whole idea though, is that if I am naked, everyone else would be naked too. And frankly, not everyone looks so good naked.
On second thought, maybe skinny jeans aren’t so bad after all.
Have you ever been out and about during the course of your daily life and happen to run across someone who clearly got dressed without realizing what they looked like from behind? I am not talking about someone who threw on a pair of sweats or shorts to run out of the house on a quick errand. I am talking about people who clearly are heading out somewhere, took the time to get dressed, may have even coordinated the outfit over some time, but obviously didn’t take the time to check out everything from all angles. Especially the angle that shows that side of you that you normally don’t see but everybody else can.
I have seen individuals with fluorescent underwear not peeking out, but hanging out of the top of their pants, skirts and shorts that are clearly too high in the back, but look just fine from the front, and panty lines so deep that they made the person look like they had four cheeks instead of two.
I have to believe that there is just no way that people would walk out of the house like that if they actually knew what was going on literally behind their backs. And how do you tell some complete stranger that their panties are making their butt look like the four square game that we used to play in elementary school, or that you can actually see their cheeks peeking out and waving at you from across the room and they are not even bending down?
It just breaks my heart to see otherwise attractive women who take time to painstakingly apply their makeup, ensure that their hair is perfectly coifed, and even shave or wax all of the hair from their bodies, and pay obscene amounts of money for an outfit and forget to look at how their backside may or may not look in that brand new pair of pants.
Before you leave the house next time, take the time to look in the mirror, turn around, bend over and squat, really see how the outfit looks from every angle including how that dress looks when the light hits it. Because seriously, if I have given up bras, do you think I am going to wear a slip? Nah, I don’t think so. But I am not gonna let anyone see the goodies through my skirt either.
And if you don’t have a full length mirror, ask someone in your house to check you out before you step out into the world. If there is no one in your house, go to a neighbor’s house. No it is not the end of the world, and you may be just fine with the attitude that ignorance is bliss, but try to do whatever you have to do to ensure that you put your best face and your best bootylicious assets forward. Because really, do you want to think that someone is writing blogs like this about you?
Exactly, I didn’t think so.
Sometimes ladies, we just have to switch it up. We have to change things a little, do something different, keep it spicy, especially those of us who are in marriages or exclusive relationships.
Every diva runs the risk of getting stuck in a rut or stagnating from time to time. It is very easy when we have children, and work, and other day to day monotony to let ourselves go and become complacent. These are the times when we need to do something that will pick us up, and give us some pep in our step. One of the simplest ways to do this, is to change something about the way that we look. Our hair, an outfit, new makeup, or even a complete makeover.
Every few months, I try to switch things up, mainly because I get bored easily, but also because I am always wanting to keep everybody guessing. With me, you never know what you’re going to get. I may wake up one woman in the morning, and by night time, I am someone else completely different.
No, I don’t have Multiple Personality Disorder, (at least I am pretty sure I don’t), I just truly believe that variety is the spice of life.
If you have been feeling a little down, bored, or just plain blah, it is very possible that you just need a little change in your life. Don’t be afraid to get a cute sassy, haircut, or do like I did this past weekend, and add more hair for a really sexy, glamorous look.
Me with very short, sassy cut. Stunning, but short.
Me after playing beauty shop this weekend, stunning and a bit glamorous.
Okay, if that seems like too much work, you could stop by your local drugstore and buy a new lip gloss, part your hair a different way, or wear heels if you always wear flats. Today, try just one little thing that will feed your inner diva and I guarantee, you will feel fabulous and bootylicious for the rest of the week.
We all have favorite things. Products that we find ourselves buying over and over again, a style of jewelry, a certain type of fragrance, or items in a favorite color. Divas love signature items. Certain things that alert those around us that, “yes, we are here, and look at us, we are absolutely amazing”.
I have big issues with most fragrances on the market today. Most are either too perfumey, flowery, or just plain overwhelming, so I tend to gravitate toward fragrances that smell like food. It is a personal preference that gives me very distinct choices when choosing how I would like to smell while I am out facing the world. My signature fragrance is Pink Sugar by Aquolina.
I think that it smells like Cotton Candy, but i have been told that I smell like everything from Chocodiles, to birthday cake. This fragrance and others like it are what I choose to wear exclusively and in some of my circles, the scent has become synonymous with me.
It may seem like a small thing to some, but I like to think the idea of choosing certain items as an outward expression of who we are helps us define ourselves in the world. It gives us focus in our lives and even assists us financially. If we know what we like, we don’t waste a whole lot of time and money purchasing things that we will never use just because they may be trendy or because everyone has them. And a big bootylicious bonus, when we show those around us what our tastes really are, they have less trouble purchasing those gifts that we actually like so we don’t have to return or re-gift.
Maybe you are partial to heart jewelry, or wearing pearls. Or maybe you like to coordinate hair accessories with your outfit, or maybe you have to have fresh flowers in your home at all times. Every diva, every woman should have little things, little touches in her life that express who she is, that define her desires and the direction that she would like to go in life and that provide a sense of confidence and comfort for her when she is putting her best foot forward.
Take the time to find your signatures, your favorite jewelry, fragrances, colors, journal, makeup, designer, whatever and surround yourself with those things today. Make a “Signature Things Excursion”, a date with yourself to actually seek out the things that seem to be made especially for you.
Maybe you have no clue what kind of candy you can’t live without, or what kind of flowers make you smile. Take this time to find out. You may be pleasantly surprised what things reach out to you, crying out to be made yours. And if you don’t have time to take these excursions or if you can’t afford to buy all of the things you love, cut pictures out of magazines and post them where you can see them. If you see them everyday and look at them long enough, I guarantee you will have them sooner than you may think.
You may not have the money to surround yourself with all of the things you love, but you can always dream until you do, after all, dreaming is free.
Don’t knock other people’s hustle. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the TV show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Yes, I watch it and I don’t care who knows.
I can’t wait to tune in every Sunday night to watch the shiny black hair, perfect makeup, and to-die-for outfits that these girls, and mom sport for their reality TV show. When I watch the show, it is a nice restful half hour for me to step out of my sometimes overly intense and way too serious life and watch these girls bask in the fabulousness of being…well fabulous. I LOVE IT!!! They make me laugh, they make me happy, and aside from the fact that sometimes Bruce Jenner looks like he has been embalmed, they make me feel warm inside.
I get so tired of haters, yes that is what you are, hating on Kim and her new found fame. You constantly hear, “What is she famous for?” Ok, give it a rest. What are Victoria Secret Models famous for? What were Calvin Klein Models (male and female) famous for? What are the models in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition famous for? Their looks! Hello! If half the haters had a body and face like Kim Kardashian, they would be flaunting their naked asses all over every magazine cover too. I have two words, quit hating! She is beautiful, and I’m a girl and I can say that. And quit knocking her hustle.
People should do what they do to make it in this world. Aside from doing anything illegal, violent or just outright disgusting, people have to use what they got to get where they want to be. Hell, life is hard. If I had her body, y’all would see me everywhere. Well actually I have a better booty than hers and I’m trying to figure out how to use my moneymaker too, ya feel me?
Look, you don’t have to like Kim or any other socialite that makes it big, but truly, if you’re going to really be a diva, you gotta stop hating. I congratulate those girls, Kim and her sisters and the mom for anything good that comes to them. I send them out good vibes (cuz Lord knows the rest of the world is sending evil their way) and I celebrate every success for them. Because you know what? When you put out positive vibes to other people, and genuinely wish for their well being, even if they are rich socialites who may have a sex tape and a huge booty, you most certainly seal the deal that good things are coming back to you.
To Kim Kardashian and Family, my Bootylicious Sisters, You Go Girls!!!!
