Thanks For The Weight!

Hello darlings,

How are ya'll doing? Its been a hot minute since we last spoke. We've been out of the loop..i know and i apologize. You know we have just taken some time off this blogosphere to do our homework, because it is necessary that when you have big things lined up, you take some time off to PLAN so yea..thats what we've been doing.

So, in our time off, alot has happened...yea..soooo much has been happening with us as a crew and 've had to do alot of mind searching..so 'll just share wuts on my mind as of today as in NOW.

In the process of publishing the next issue of our fabulous mag, we've had to do some creative directing for photoshoots and auditions for models and then 'IT' struck me, a very touchy and highly debatable issue. 'IT' has resulted in a alot of broken marriages, accounts for self esteem issues amongst lots of teens and adult women, #1 cause of stress and depression in women, causes strife and envy..name it. As you might have guessed ,'IT' is the issue of WEIGHT.

As i write this, i cant help buh ask pls people, what is the ideal weight?


Size 8?
Size 10?
Size 12?
Size 14?
dammit! Size ZERO??



Okay, so how did you answer that question. Is ideal what you think a man thinks is sexy? what other women think is flattering? what you see on magazines and t.v or what is healthy?

Genetically, we know that African women are naturally curvier with a little more cushion or meat so to speak, on our bodies..does that disqualify us from the run ways and magazines?

I know that generally, the western world is battling with acceptance on the so called 'plus size' model..if there's a plus sized model on a reality show, its out of this world..llike its a BIG deal, then you see things like the recent dove commercial that emphasizes beauty in all shapes n sizes and moreso the INfamous Jenny Craig with Queen Latifah's size-healthy-campaign.

i've even heard before that men like women with a little more volume, whereas it's us WOMEN for the most part who like to be rail-thin.like its about the men...ya..sometimes it is about men..buh ehnn whatever they have no concept of sizing!

I definitely agree that the pressure to be thin and look a certain way is about women competing with other women and being catty cuz we can be very judgemental and some of us female species just specialise in breaking down each other's self esteem.

FACT: The female bodily beauty is 30% age, 25% waist-to-hip ratio, 25% BMI, 10% height and relative leg length, and 10% breast size.

Okay here's what i think :
1. ATTITUDE is important.













Regardless of the number at the back of your shirt, carry that body you've got like its the best thing that has happened to planet earth...since Adam. i call it 'SWAG' 'm sure Eve had some..walkin around the damn garden in scanty leaves..lol

2. Dress Well: Now dont misconstrue this as me saying you cannot be a size whatever, but 'm pretty sure no one loves flabs so pls dress your age..ditch the poorly fitting clothes and muffin tops. quit shoppin in the kids section..dress accroding to your body not what u see on tabloids. Hollywood is a product of fantasy not reality anyways. So if you need to get a stylist please do! i know a few who'd be happy to help.















More important to me than any number is your HEALTH its essential that you eat only the good stuff..your body is not a trash can and if you dont take care of it, you'd have no place to live! (more on that l8r)



So if you care to ask, whats my ideal weight? Just like Queen, 'm a size healthy baby!

So we'r back and very well on our way to being the #1 lifestyle magazine in Africa.

134Elitz, Realizing the power of self definition and empowering people to be the best they can be.

Thanks for the wait guyz its good to be back!
