Before I end this post, one thing that kind of bugs me; just a little. You knew it was coming right? *smirks* In literary fiction, women with a little more around the edges are portrayed as lonely women with low self-esteem. Now, I’m not saying this is true of all books but in a recent hetero that fellow muse Corey Patrick did on a story, the plus sized heroine did seem, well a little more than hopeless. If you’d like to read the review, go here. Now, that doesn’t mean we, Shar and us muses, didn’t enjoy the book, we just wanted the female to be portrayed as a more confident gal but then, I suppose that would’ve been too unique. *shakes head* Often, the media portrays women who are bigger as poorly dressed and the fat jokes are just part of the skits. It has lessened to a certain degree but more often than not, our fabulously voluptuous heroines don’t exist except when it’s part of someone’s comedy shows.
Do you recall a movie called Babycakes? I’m showing my age here but basically Ricki Lake was a full figured woman looking for love and she found in a pretty good looking guy. After she started dating him, her whole attitude changed. She dressed better, she was happier, etc and then when the guy embarrassed her in front of a crowd, she went back to her drabby clothes and back in a shell. That movie was made back in 1989 and really I don’t think TV has come that far in showing some fun fealess full figured women. Why do we have to be so pitiful? Can’t we be happy before we get the sexy man on our arm? Look ladies, it is possible to achieve happiness being a hot mamma with a little more curves, okay? Be proud of yourself and your body and men who love us, make sure you show it in the bedroom and out! Hope you enjoyed the post. Please check out this fun, fearless female blogger. A real gal with curves Militant Baker and stayed tuned, I'll be doing my first story. Some hot erotica for Valentine's Day!
