Hello, hello!
It's been some time since I lasted posted, we all know I'm both lazy and forgetful so let's not harp on my flaws and let's focus on something positive! This past weekend I gathered together my sister, plus two of our best friends and basically forced them to do a 'photoshoot'. One thing ya'll should know about me is that I am very vain. I love taking a ton of photos, being center of attention, etc. It's all in a day's work, really.
Now, before I continue, I have to explain something to ya'll. We all fully aware that yes, I am a fat girl who has ridiculously high amount of self esteem. It's an oxymoron in a way because all of my hot skinny kid friends seem to have self esteem issues that are not up to par. Which leads me to CJ, who is who you'll see in the pictures I've posted below. CJ is gorgeous. There are no questions about that. However, she's just another one of my blissfully blind friends, because she doesn't quite understand the magnitude of her beauty. I absolutely hate that. It's a character flaw in nearly all of my friends. Irony at it's best, really; skinny kid with no confidence is best friends with a fat kid who has too much confidence. It genuinely should beg the question, 'What the hell?'.
I wanted to give CJ a few hours to just feel good about herself. We went shopping, came home and got straight to work on doing her hair and makeup. Ash and Jill worked on the photo shoot design set up while I spent far too much time trying to curl CJ's hair - all the while we were laughing and having a great time. That alone, being together with friends and simply enjoying each other's company is satisfying enough.
We spent a few hours fawning over how gorgeous CJ is, while bending and positioning her in a thousand different, incredibly uncomfortable and awkward positions. I wish you could understand the degree of hotness that is CJ, but sadly, her photos were a bit too risque to post so openly to the world - so, just take my word for it. Once we took a break for lunch, it was my turn to get ready for the few photos we were going to take together. I wanted the hot skinny girl and the hot fat girl together just to show that beauty comes in every different shape and size possible. In the end, the goofy photos of CJ and I together are my favorite few from the hundreds of photos taken on Saturday.
Shortly after, CJ had to depart and I took the extra camera time all for myself. I wanted something playful, and as much I would have loved a photoshoot outside in a pretty pink tree, it was raining and we made the best of the space we had. We stuck my chubby ass in the huge window in my bedroom, turned on MoZella's album 'Belle Isle' (which is amazing, btw, every women should own this album!) and let the magic happen. I decided I am definitely using one of the photos as a header for this blog, as soon as I have the time to sit down and make the picture extra pretty. I wanted to take photos that exposed my body, because no matter what name you call me - you can't call me a hypocrite. A girl who writes a blog about being fabulously fat who won't even show how fat she really is? C'mon guys, you know me better than this by now. So. Arms exposed, legs propped just right, it was game on. Feeling pretty is catchy, that's for sure. I was glowing on Saturday, even if about an hour after my pictures were done, I was in sweats, grocery shopping. Oh, the ups and downs of being as fabulous as I am. Anyway, here are the pictures! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Well, it's that time again - time to start my Friday work day. I hope ya'll have a great weekend and ya know, put on that extra coat of lip gloss before you go out. Make up is your friend, it's suppose to enhance your beauty, so let it do it's job. I'm being a hypocrite though because I'm only wearing foundation. Don't worry, I've got my trusty chapstick and mascara in my purse. Once this work day goes by, I'll be enjoying an evening with my best friends. We're going to that non-fat kid friendly restaurant we went to a few weeks ago, you know the one, with the tiny booths? That's the one! Should be interesting, that's for sure. I'll let you know how it goes.
Cloudly skies today, but at least it's almost time for the weekend so I can catch up on my beauty rest.
Until next time, ya'll!
