Are curves FINALLY back?


Shane Watson, columnist for the UK Sunday Times has written a fabulous piece on the world being sick of skinny women. http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article6052789.ece
And while I hope it's true (sorry to all you natural skinnies out there but too much of anything isn't healthy) I'm having serious doubts that Hollywood is in agreeance. Case in point: the two stars of 90210 Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup. Thankfully, 90210 doesn't screen here anymore, because all I did was stare in horror at their stick thin legs and ignore the storyline Probably why it failed here!
And it's not just a Beverly Hills trend ... Scarlett Johannsen, once the poster girl for curves, has apparently lost a lot of weight on a "strict diet", her waist is down to 23 inches. Eva Mendes is on the wane. Beyonce seems to have slimmed. Sigh. What's a normal girl to do?
Hopefully, as Shane points out, we can look to the UK. Two words of inspiration: Kate Moss. You've seen her pot, haven't you? Here it is again in case you missed it.


So take heart. If Kate is anything to go by (and past history tells us that she actually rules our world: skinny jeans, vests, platform shoes etc), it's only a matter of time before the pot hits Hollywood and the rest of fashion world follows suit.
It's one trend I'm hoping catches on fast, especially after Easter!
