adminAnne Ruthenburg Fashion Diary
HELLO there folks, I hope you had a wonderful holiday or break. I hope you also remembered the reason why we have this holiday. It is not about the Easter eggs, it is about someone choosing to lay their life down to give life to someone else.
So this week we continue with our issue of fitting into this bootylicious fashion trend. I know I am certainly have a hard time, but I’m getting it.
So as usual, I have my bag of tricks. First we need to deal with the boobylicious! There is nothing cheaper looking than boobs domination the conversation. Really ladies, how do you expect people who are chatting to you to behave? If you want to distract the men – it is working! But what about us women who talk to you in between your male attention seeking ways? It’s not sexy, I promise you. Kim Kardashian is the only one who works this plan successfully without looking like a loose woman.
The rest of us put out the wrong message.
And let me tell you, I am not bootylicious hey, I am more tummylicious (my stomach has a mind of it’s own, and refuses to stay flat).
But even my little boobylicious have to be told whose boss and put under the clothes where they belong.
There are days when I have picked up a few extra kilos which obviously sit in certain places.
This is where I have pretty lace tops, that I wear underneath my dress, so that they cover the top of my bust area.
How do you know your boobs are showing excessively? Well when you can see the line in the middle.
In other words if you can see them – so can the whole world.
Next the stomach, eish ah yah! The simplest way of dealing with this obvious problem, is if I would cut down my junk food and start doing sit-ups and other tummy exercises. But for now, the tummy is there and is not bowing down to me, even when I breathe in, it starts getting painful, so eventually the tummy is left loose to extend as far as it chooses.
That’s when I call it “tummylicious”. No people; it’s not funny.
No woman wants to walk around bulging on the top, bulging in the middle, bulging on the sides and bulging on the behind wena! Thank God most men think it is all sexy (thanks to Miss Kardashian).
But we as women if we want to be honest with ourselves; we know it is a problem.
The worst is when you know you have no will power to control your eating, because on 20 percent of women are naturally large, the rest of us just do not discipline ourselves when it comes to food.
Of cause I always have a solution – “SPANDEX”. Yup that’s what they all wear. How stupid we are sometimes to think all these women on TV that wear such tight outfits they can’t even breath, are naturally that perfectly moulded. Let me tell you ladies, when I put my spandex on (okay it’s not really the original stuff, I bought this one in a Chinese shop – really I ain’t going to spend $300 – $600 on an undersized panty with plastic boning in it’s lining just to hold my bits in place every now and again? I’m not that crazy). Oh and you know what I learnt?
When you wear a spandex, it needs to be for a few hours (3 max), because when you go to the loo, I’m do not think you will be coming out in normal time – that panty just will not come off in a hurry. Yes that’s why Kim Kardashian once said ‘when I have my spandex on – I just pee in my pants’ Sho disgusting I know; but do not comment, until you wear one, then let’s see what you will say after you come out of the toilet lol!
Okay back to my $20 Spandax, by the time I finish squeezing, breathing in and twisting so that it goes on properly and sits well over the tummy and well over the bottom – people I look like J’Lo forget Kim. And so I slip back into my dress and wooo! I could be a star from Mzansi wena!.
The end result is, boobs are up and covered, tummy smooth and flat, bottom round and firm.
Spandex or any similar body firming underwear to me is what a beautiful weave is to damaged hair.
You can’t explain it, it’s like new life.
This people is what a fashion columnist like me calls “perfectylicious!”
I do not know about you, but for me, looking good is becoming more and more difficult even in such a small town as this. So I am going to get as much help to look good as possible.
But I do not want to suffer for it – no way.
I will do as much as I can in my power to control my mini voluptuous package God has blessed me with (Thank you Lord).
But I refuse to pay the full price of looking good – why when I can do it at half or a third of the price?
That is it from me folks, until next week have a blessed week!
