just like our bodies.
What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.

and neither is my body:
I do not have the perfect figure.
My body shape is what they refer to as "pear-shaped"
A pear:
Small-ish at the top, big-ish at the bottom.
There, I said it: the truth is out....
They call that
"Aging"
and
"Looking good for your age"
Whatever....
I just laugh at it all!
haha!
It is amazing what my body can do!
I love how my body is healthy and strong.
(They don't really tell me that anymore ~ I guess it's that aging thing again: Interesting....)
Now I have some grey hairs and some wrinkles.
And that pear-body we talked about before.
Oh well.
Who cares anyway.
I did not become a model when I was younger because modeling takes more than height!
Haha!
- Do I look like her?
- Does she look like me?
- Are we long-lost twins?
I guess not....
As a model you are expected to be extremely photogenic
(I'm not: trust me there!)
And have the perfect figure
(I don't have that either, remember the pear-shape?)
For instance: an A-line skirt really works well for my triangle-shaped body:
Skinny at the waist, flaring out toward the bottom.
I feel attractive in it, and pretty and feminine, and all that good stuff!
And currently floral pints are "in" so even better.
I love flowers.
And move on.
There are more important things to worry about.
Right?
I think so...
