If the dress fits, wear it!

If the dress fits, wear it!

 

I read an article recently, criticizing female entertainers. The article states that Sheraton Cadwell Orchestra's management decided only the 'physically fit and slim' should wear form fitting clothes to keep up appearances. 

 

We live in a diverse world, where people of all shapes, sizes and weight are the norm. Family genes often play a part in that and some people are skinny, where others have more curves. It is definitely not for me to judge!

 

Or for anyone else, in my opinion.

 

Adele is plus size, Kelly Clarkson's weight fluctuates, Mama Cass was a large size woman, as is Susan Boyle.  Think of all the talent that would have gone unheard of, had such restrictions been placed on them!

 

My response to those who seek that type of perfection in others:

 

There is no reason to body shame someone just because you can. That says A LOT about YOU. BTW if Culture Club had put their picture on the first album, they never would have had the success they did, due to people who place such importance on looks. And that statement came right from Boy George himself at a live concert we attended!

 

Your thoughts?

Exactly the point of the post Mike Cooper. Being different sets us apart from others and my weight and what I decide to wear is my personal choice. No one else has the right to tell me to wear something that pleases their eye when I have very good taste!

I completely agree! What someone looks like has little to do with how talented they are or who they choose to be. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Hi Wanda- I am almost at a loss for words. But not quite...beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you have beauty in your heart...that is how you will see the world.

Good morning Wanda.

Such is the state of what some people think.  For me size, or looks does not matter, it's what is in their heart, their talent and their ability to get the job done.

Equality.  Period.  My husband and I have ran our company together for 11 years.  He sees me as an equal, as I do him.  

To judge someone on sex, their sexual preference, size or anything else is on YOU.  

We treat every single person the same.  Period.

I totally agree with you on this, Wanda. It should aall about who the person is not how they look, dress, etc.

This is a shocking post, what were they thinking and from your subsequent comments Wanda Kubat-Nerdin I can see that the organization was disbanded...and rightly so!

The most important home I sell is YOURS!

I watched a NCA cheer competition yesterday.  Girls (and some boys) dressed in sparkly costumes.  All sizes, shapes and colors out there competing and building confidence.  You should not be discriminated against because you don't fit someone's idea of perfect.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin It is so sad how many judge soley on  size and looks. It happens with us, as realtors, also. There are so many talented amazing people in this world. It's about the  size of our hearts that make a difference in this world.

Looks mean very little to me when I am making a buying decision.  Integrity and honesty are much more important to me.  Great post.
