This makes me want to start wearing miniskirts!

Now all I need to do is add the fur coat!

I currently own this beautiful dress and just love seeing it on other beautiful women. Definitely recommended. While I was wearing it, some people I know were dumbfounded because they considered it to be upside-down (because the white is usually on top and the black on the bottom). Well - I think it is lovely. And comfortable. :)
When in doubt, stick your tongue out!
Dress: Igigi
Tights: Catherines
Shoes: Purchased from Zappos…umm…cute ones with a bow. No idea on brand.
Yes. Also, hello world!

thisisntbusiness-deactivated201 asked: that picture of you in the strapless mermaid dress is perfection and your smile is infectious and it just put a smile on my face
This made my day when I first read it, and it still does today. Thank you so much! I’m smiling with you. :)
Okay okay. We FINALLY have a picture of the ‘fro + me singing! This was taken while in Austria, engrossed in a final run-through for the first of two concerts that would conclude my German lied summer program. It took me a while to post this. It’s already hard enough singing in front of a mirror. At first I said: “OH GOD.. my double chin!! UGH! Can’t I HIDE that while singing!?” The answer is - No. If you do try hiding it, you’re probably massacring your vocal chords and setting yourself up for a rather short career. Then I thought: “Ugh, puffy cheeks,” and “Are my eyes really that small.. maybe I should just wear contacts all the time.”
I’m done saying that crap - for now at least. Singing is one of the most beautiful, human things one can do. Why crap it up with self criticism? I hope that you’ll all enjoy. Oh in case you’re wondering, I was singing a loud and high A natural from a Brahms art song. Letting it all hang out. :)
A word from Velvet D'Amour
My muse, Velvet D’Amour has written a response to Vogue Italia’s recent editorial with plus size models. If you haven’t yet seen it, I encourage you to utilize your favorite search engine and revel in the beauty.
In the mean-time, I’m MIA in Europe. Why? A summer lieder program. Singing is the game. I haven’t blogged due to work, shoddy internet, and mixed emotions. I didn’t exactly want to start ranting about the little things until I was sure that I wasn’t blowing them out of proportion. I’m STILL not sure. So, stay tuned.
Enjoy!

When fat is just a descriptor it takes the power away from those who want to hurl an insult. When I’m having a business meeting with someone I’ve not met I tell them “I’m a short, fat, brunette”. Plenty of people have told me “Oh, don’t call yourself fat!” but nobody has ever said “Oh, don’t call yourself brunette!

Am I the only one who finds this insulting??
I admit that I’m addicted to fashion. Besides - good taste doesn’t stop at a size 12. As an hourglass/triangle/pear - depending on fluctuations and the clothes - styling can be a bit more challenging. I don’t remember how I came across this article, but I’m almost sorry that I did. It was probably linked to some silly sex article I read, along the lines of sex and the amount of calories burned. Might I add, this is an ongoing debate that needs some more research. 50-100 calories is low - balling it. Pun acknowledged. Anyone who burns only 50 calories having sex must not be fully committed to the act. Or it only lasted 3-5 minutes.
Oh yay, another “WHAT NOT TO WEAR.” I always expect to see burlap sacs that have survived low-tide in Queens. Oh no. They attacked my skinny jeans and flat ballet shoes.
RIDICULOUS!!:
Skinny Jeans
In a perfect world, every bod could rock every fab new trend. Unfortunately, the skinny jean is one trend the pear should leave on the rack. Skinny jeans will just give you a bad case of carrot leg — wide at the top and skinny on the bottom. The pear-shaped woman should choose jeans that skim over the hips and thighs in a way that slims the silhouette and leave the skin-tight denim to the booty-free set.
Hah. Women with or without a booty in skinny jeans are absolutely divine! And carrots are delicious, thank you very much!
And just for fun:
Teeny Shoes
Itty-bitty ballet flats may be all the rage, but unless you are a fat-free pear, you should give super-delicate shoes a wide berth. Pear-shaped girls need shoes with more than a little stage presence to help balance out those hips and thighs. Think strappy over simple, and go ahead and err on the side of clunky if you’re just not sure.
UGH - Don’t you find this to be insulting? What, are they afraid of fat feet now? Did we forget about comfort and occasional practicality? God forbid we wear anything without a heel, for we must look long and lean, and add lots of pizazz just for the sake of detracting from our fat. Oh, that’s right. Real fashion doesn’t know those words - comfort, practicality - huh?
Wear your glitter and rhinestones because YOU want to.
