your looks are beautiful. you are indeed curvy and sexy. and please continue to model any type of clothing you please because you represent a group of women who are larger than a size 8 but really look good in anything. you are proportionate top to bottom, arms, legs and a beautiful face. many women your size and age shy away from certain types of clothing and you show them how great they could look. thanks

I love your style Curvy Lady! I'm from Poland, and I really like how you do not care what do people think about your choices. For me fashion is not about the size or meassures, it's about happiness and expressing ourselves! Aren't I right? :) Wish you good luck and stay you!

P.S I wish you posted more often! xoxo

Hello Curvy Lady, thank you for pointing out my shortcomings I hope soon to overcome. To your knowledge, English is my fourth language (I am originally from France). Actually it has become my fourth language a little bit over eight months ago, and this is precisely how long I have been in this beautiful country of yours studying your language, culture and some other pretty cool stuff. You see, I have not been lucky enough to study English in college, therefore it surely is quite coarse at this point. But trust me, I am working very hard on improving my grammar and spelling skills every day. I hope you will forgive me for that, taking the fact that I have only been speaking your language for rather short period of time under consideration, you must know it is not, indeed a simple task to pick up an entirely new language at the age of 27 not even knowing the basis.
Anyways, seems to me as if you are still unable to grasp the topic or my intentions for that matter. And although I am strongly convinced that it will be rather a waste of time on my part trying to explain it to you, yet again, I will make my, hopefully, last attempt.
So, nothing on this page is personal nor private, it is in fact a public site which anyone can access, consequently, any person is able to comment on the content of your posts, anytime. Yes, my comment related to your body (pictures of which you made public and widely accessible) which I found highly unattractive. But if you do not wish to receive negative feedback, or cannot handle criticism then rethink posting pictures of yourself on here. Simple. And like I said before, did you truly expect to generate only positive feedback? If this is the case here then you need to open your mind, immediately. This is the world we live in. In this reality obesity is hugely unattractive, and maintaining this exact body type you are very likely to be subjected to some strong criticism. If you are not going to do anything about changing it, then you just have to deal with it. Luckily, vast majority of this society prefers fit and healthy over obese and coated in cellulite. No questions about it. As you also should understand the fact that if anyone out there ever called Beyonce or Kate Upton fat, that person was clearly out of their mind. Presenting these two as curvy on the other hand will be rather an accurate description of their body types. So if you characterize yourself as curvy, well...something just doesn't add up. Describing your photographs as pictures of a fat and an obese person however, is just simply stating clear facts. I hope you see the distinction. So, like I said I did not mean to offend you, because both "fat" and "obese" are indeed medical terms used to typify certain body type with no negative undertones. I have simply given my opinion about pictures you shared with the world.
Anyways, I am, honestly and truly hoping that we understand each other.

Lots of success.

In reply to Musings of a Curvy Lady. Oh, and you might also want to use Google to research Beyonce and Kate's struggles with being called fat. Just being helpful to make you aware of the topic. Thanks again for the well wishes. I'm sure the blog will continue to be a massive hit.

Hi Curvy Lady, I appreciate you taking your time to respond to my comment. I am sorry you took a simple feedback so wrong though. But thank you for introducing me to your version of a term "personal". I have to admit it differs form the version I have believed to be correct, so to avoid confusion I went straight on google and I found what follows:
per·son·al
1. of, affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else
2.of or concerning one's private life, relationships, and emotions rather than matters connected with one's public or professional career.
So correct me if I am wrong, yet again, but doesn't writing a blog and attaching photos of yourself to this blog entries mean that those entries and photographs become no longer private therefore personal? For the more, allowing others to comment on your blog entries makes them even less private?
I am sorry that my own, personal opinion bothered you, wish it would have been positive but that wasn't the case. I was just giving you a bit of a feedback, which I am sure you were expecting to receive letting others comment on your blog. My opinion was negative simply because what I have looked at was not to my likings. I didn't find your legs attractive in any way, therefore I suggested you to consider wearing longer skirts which would probably help the overall effect a bit, directing the viewers attention away from your massive (I am sorry if this word offends you, but I can't find a better one to describe your anatomy) legs. So if you can't deal with truly honest and constructive criticism then you need to disable function "comment" on your site. You couldn't have possibly have expected only positive feedback could you? And if you don't want others to comment on your anatomy then don't put up pictures of yourself onto a public site, doing such you are more likely to avoid the confusion between what is personal and private and what is public. Pictures, articles and videos once enabled for general audience to view on various websites become no longer personal or private. I strongly believe that the same rules apply to your blog. Couldn't be simpler.
In addition, writing this I wasn't trying to discourage you from "promoting curvy woman everywhere" nor from persuading your passion in any way. I was giving you my opinion. You didn't handle receiving it very well, which is not dependent on me. As for Beyonce and Kate Upton, I have never read of heard anywhere anyone calling these two overweight of fat for that matter. They are curvy, as an attractive, sexy woman should be. So, to avoid another confusion, you, calling yourself curvy gives me an idea that you are, in fact, compering your body type to theirs. Which, forgive me for being frank, is like you are attempting to call a hurricane an air current. I am probably wrong again, but maybe a simple misapprehension with term "curvy" forbids you from receiving and handling certain opinions and views the correct way. And again, this is my personal thinking and statement about your physicality and which you made no longer personal or private once you uploaded photographs of yourself to a public site on the world wide web.

I wish you a lot of success with your blog again, hoping that you will learn to handle criticism a little better in a future.

In reply to FabFash. Thank you Jason for visiting the blog again.

Although you write the above words are not about me personally you couldn't help but comment on certain aspects about me that are personal (my body and my fat knees). You've tried (unsuccessfully I might add) to give your "criticism" on my fashion choices by suggesting that I change my wardrobe (once again, personal) by hiding my knees with longer skirts. It appears to me that you are not familiar with the term "personal".

Regardless of your intentions this blog will continue to promote that fat curvy women everywhere can wear whatever they choose to and look "aesthetically pleasing" doing it. It is also worth noting that both Beyonce and Kate Upton have acknowledged that they have been called "fat" and "overweight". I'm sure you would disagree but yet someone out there thought they were and most importantly they thought these two women would care enough about it. They choose to embrace their curvy bodies --- as do I. Do you see where I am getting at? You telling me that I'm fat or overweight does not void the fact that I am curvy. I am fat and curvy -- that is the truth. But I must admit that it is impressive for you to think that I would consider your "selective perception" of what curvy is or what you deem as "aesthetically pleasing" as my truth.

I wish you nothing but the best with your research paper.

First of all Curvy Lady, I don't read your blog, I have stumbled upon it doing a research for my essay on obesity in both North and South America. Secondly, I don't believe I said anything negative in my previous comment. I am just stating a simple fact. You are, in deed fat, not curvy (Beyonce is curvy, Kate Upton is curvy), not fluffy or plus size, you are overweight. And if that offends you then maybe you shouldn't be writing this blog after all. This is not a personal attack on you, far from it. This is about what looks good and is aesthetically pleasing. And while I am really happy for you that your selective perception allows you to filter reality like that, I am all about calling things what they are.. If I have offended you then I am sorry, like I said this is not about you personally but about aesthetics. There is all kinds of people out there, therefore some of them will find your wardrobe choices interesting and aesthetically pleasing and some of them won't. For that very reason, in addition to large amount of obvious confidence, you need to load up on some self criticism as well. And the best way to do it is to open your mind.

Good luck with your blog :)

In reply to FabFash. After reading your comment FabFash all I can say is ... thanks. Comments like yours are one of the reasons why I am fearless and confident in my wardrobe choices and will continue to choose to wear what I want to wear -- baring my fat knees and all. So you'll have to forgive me for not taking your advice to "reconsider" the lengths of my skirts. If you don't like what you see you don't need to be reading this blog. Simple as that.

To all my supporters -- the above comment from FabFash is just proof that people will always feel obligated to comment on why you should or shouldn't wear something even when it's unwarranted but negative words have no significance when you are comfortable and confident in your wardrobe choices. You can do and wear whatever you want. #fatandfearless
