Ok... so I have a crush on Carrie Underwood's voice AND Kelly Clarkson (KC i've loved since the original airing of 'Idol'.... including From Justin to Kelly.) It makes me miss singing. It makes me want to have a voice transplant - until I start singing and realize that I am quite capable of carrying a pretty tune. They inspire me. What other women inspire me? Ok... let's just debrief...
Kelly Clarkson.
I adore her because she stays true to herself, can sing the shit out of EVERYTHING, her belt.. Gah, she's gorgeous - no matter her size. She may not be a great actor (From Justin To Kelly... ouch). But she's definitely someone I look up to as a person and singer.
Carrie Underwood.
Just a little dumpling of blonde cuteness. How can one not love her? Physically - she is stupid inspiring... she works her ass off to stay in shape. Her legs make me want to do lunges from Toronto to Calgary and back. And her wedding pictures? If you haven't seen them - googles them NOW and enter the little girl fantasy grown up into this whimsical country love affair fairytale. She's who I wanted to be when i was little. Will we see a Carrie Underwood sex tape? No. She's a role model and I kinda like that.
Crystal Renn.
Straight size model who was in a whirlwind of eating disorders until she listened to her heart and body and ate - becoming the most successful plus size model EVER. She's hot! She makes me feel like buying a size Large isn't the end of the world! She is voluptuous (a word that actually I hate - but see its beauty in her). She makes all the nonsense in my head so relatable. Her book 'Hungry' saved me. It saved me from hating myself... I know that's a big thing to say - but it's true.
Marilyn Monroe.
Size 14. Sex icon. Real name? Norma Jean. My Granny on my Dad's size = Norma. Granny on Mom's side = Jean. Coincidence? I think not. Bwa ha!
And that folks are the people who are inspiring me today. There are so many other powerful, beautiful women out there.. but those are the ones on my mind today. I guess it's because I've been feeling tubby... and these women make me feel like I fit in. They make the things I don't really love about me really gorgeous.... they are my curvy club.
12 and a half hours. ......... I cant think of the km right now. AND I HAVE A CUT ON MY BABY TOE!!! Tragedy.
Thought of the day. Amount of minutes run - or distance covered. What is more important to losing weight?

Christina Hendricks also.
ReplyDeleteI mostly agree with you except one teeny tiny problem with Carrie - she is reputed to be a not very nice person. However that does not affect her vocal abilities or great legs...just have to weigh one against the other a bit - at least I do. Great list!
YES Christina Hendricks!
ReplyDeleteAnd in the last few days I've actually heard that about Carrie! What a little snot! I still want her wedding haha.
