Happy October!
People Magazine recently published a story online about Christina Aguilera (removed today for misquotes), who is
reportedly defending her curves and telling her record label to shove it.
Despite the label's disapproval of the pop star's weight gain, which has
been highlighted by her wardrobe choices this season on the hit show, "The
Voice", Aguilera seems to recapture the badass spirit of her youth in a
way that is refreshing, poised, and even dignified! (if it's possible to
be dignified while giving your record label the finger...)
Here is a
photo of Christina Aguilera and Kristen Stewart wearing the same Valentino dress:
We asked men
to comment on who they thought was more attractive. 100% said Christina.
Finding this
intriguing, we showed additional photos of thin models from the Fall issue of
Harper's Bazaar and Vogue to men and asked them if they found the girls
attractive. They said no.
Because we
at Avenue 42 have dealt with the same social pressures to be thin and have
envied model figures to the point of developing eating disorders, we're proud
to see women like Christina making it ok to have curves. And because we
know women are influenced more by OTHER WOMEN than by men, we love the fact
that Christina has found her Voice by giving others' a stage on which to find
theirs.
We can
identify with that experience :-) Empowering other women is what
empowers us. For more information, visit OperationBeautiful.
Have a great week, everyone!!! xoxo
