Me, Me, Marvelous Me!

As well as trying to Blog, myself I read a lot of other people's blogs and I have noticed a lot of these posts, so I thought I would indulge you with these fascinating facts about me.

1. As a child I was obsessed with Hollywood and wanted to be a 50's movie star.  There was a really old book in my house which was a movie star annual from the late 50's and I used to pour over it obsessively.
2. I had skin cancer in my left eye (I know, I didn't know you could get in there either)
3. Not satisfied with having Skin Cancer in my eye I had 2 separate tumors which apparently is unusual.  The eye Geeks at Bart's were very excited about this.
4. I have a brown Staffrador (A Lab cross Staff) called Beyonce.
5. I lived with over 200 people before I was 18.

Plus size Princess

I will let you into a little (well not so little secret)  I am a plus size princess.  What do I mean by this?  Well I am plus size, Overweight, Voluptuous, Curvy or just plain fat, whatever you want to call it and do you know what I don't have a problem with it.  The only part I hate is a double chin but that's life!

I decided a year or so ago that I would not wait to be thin to participate in life so since then I have tried Zumba, Burlesque and basically do anything that makes my heart sing a happy tune, cos life is way too short not to do what you want or to eat delicious food and I am not going to apologise for that, just to appease people with opinions or problems with my fleshiness!

So now my attitude is if I want to try coloured skinny jeans I will and I will probably rock them cos I am pretty awesome, and that life is too short to wait for something till I reach a desired number on the scale.  That is not to say that I intend to get bigger and bigger and indulge myself in an epic Romanesque orgy of eating, I am just going to enjoy life and exercising.

As for fashion I will not dress in a tunic so as not to offend people's eyes, I will enjoy fashion and clothes and if you don't like it, it is other people's problem not mine.
