I love curvy women... I can't help it

 

I wanted to use Gini but couldn't get her permission on time so manage this image of a woman that looks like the ones we're celebrating today. Isn't she gorgeous? (Photo credit: IG)

Today, 12th October is a day set aside to celebrate curvy women. More like saying it’s a day dedicated to my kind of women, one of the real reasons we exist, and I can’t but write about them today in my personal space.

Body shaming is a major thing in our society and whether we like to admit it or not, almost all of us are guilty of this nonsense. It’s okay for you to look at someone and say the person isn’t tall or slim enough for you but you won’t have it if someone says something similar to you, is that not premium ment?

I know it takes a lot for anyone to feel comfortable in their own skin, it’s the reason I think twice before criticizing people who bleach – still doesn’t make sense to me but they have their reasons, and I won’t be there when their skin fights back. I digress peacefully.

I am quite unapologetic about my love for curvy women, you don’t have to be around me for too long to know this; but I see people with different opinions trying to talk down a well-endowed woman simply because she doesn’t look like what they like, why not just go for your type? It’s not hard na.

It swings both ways actually; I remember a former colleague who used to complain about how people talk her down because she’s ultra slim, I can understand her feelings and even if I am not one of those that would pluck flowers for slim ladies, I never attempted making her feel bad.

Shout out to every woman out there who’s plus size and is struggling with confidence simply because of what she has faced from people. You have no idea how much inspiration you give me, y’all are my muse and I am proud to say this. I’m tempted to mention names, but I won’t.

Celebrate yourself today, where that red dress and trust me, that waist belt or what do y’all call it can rest; the tummy comes with the package, a tummy tuck isn’t cheap, and we just have to encourage you people to be comfortable in your skin. Not all of us care about the tummy to be honest, it’s highly secondary but your preference comes first, and I can understand.

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
