Hello to all.
As a woman of the bigger persuasion I believe that I, as well as my other bigger ladies, have arrived.
I was not always big I was rail thin with a big backside up until the age of 18. Two kids, 80lbs and 7years later, I am the uber confident (to the point of overbearing to friends and family who love me dearly lol) DIVA as I so like to refer to myself on a daily basis.
This little corner is for us the girls with the flabby arms that wave hello everytime we put them up, the pretty face with the puffy cheeks and that winning smile, the big behinds and the big thighs that those men (and women you know yourselves) love so much. As I was so aptly called the other day at the beach ,more meat than rice.
I would like to chronicle my YUMA experience for this carnival and beyond and I would like all you PHAT GirlZ - Pretty Hot And Thick to get ready because we are about to take over the world.
And you all can add your experiences as well.
YUMA
So YUMA. The myth the legend the newest thing since sliced bread and the new must have since the iPhone.
I too was enthralled by YUMA and when I saw the Pisces frontline costume with a corset I thought lord oh lord that costume is mine and I don't have to pay extra to make a tankini yayyyyyy. Boom back to reality. I didn't even get to stay on cloud nine for a little 2minutes. Blah blah blah ..... Sorry no tankinis or whole suits available. Apart from the fact that all the frontline costumes being sold out in two days, I was really upset that I didn't get to be frontline. Well the diva herself thought alright well corset it is. I will be hot and sexy on the road. But then I became empathetic. What about my bigger girls, will they not be able to play will all their loveliness be, as we say hanging out. Some of them lamented on YUMA's wall that they would have to find another band as YUMA did not give much options to those with the big jugs and over extended bellies.
Well I said to myself what's the big fuss you could just make a corset and be even sexier on the road with your corset. BOOM. Blah blah blah more to decorate blah blah blah purchase your corset and bring it in for us to decorate. At a cost to decorate of course. Not 1 not 2 not even three four or five but SIX Hundred dollars to decorate a corset that if you buy it u are paying 350 to 500 for good fitting ones that are not going to take the wind out of you. I thought alright ill get it. I want to play with YUMA no problem. At the back of my mind I'm think but what the monthly salary is this really. So I really have to stop eating and drink water and half of an apple just to play mas with YUMA or to play mas at all. Big steups
First I had to get in a section by the skin of my teeth I got into Libra backline thankfully with a backpack. I believe that there is no back line in mas only frontline but that is another story.
The hunt then began I had to look for a corset online, which did not showcase realistically how a girl of my size would fit in it. Then onto the stores I actually called around asking for them but I didn't want to interact with those skinny girls telling me that look good take it, all for a sale.
While reading YUMA's page as I do everyday I stumbled upon custom made corsets and carnival supplies. I emailed them my specifics and BOOM my corset will be custom made for, get ready, only $120. Yayyyyy me.
So as I write this I hope all my girls will realize we too can look fabulous on the road. And we don't have to be in a two piece and fries. We can palance in our full figured glory and look damn good doing it.
I know I should watch my diet to get down the belly but I'm too lazy and I just haven't made the time for myself. I should but to be honest I'm not. I swear I have never been as happy as I have been now at this size. I could do with some boobs but I'm grateful for small mercies.
I'm out for now C yall on the flip side.

skinny girls.. what do u imply .. that skinny girls always get what they want... mind u.. am a "skinny girl" and its very hard to find stuff to fit us... we have to search and find for hours jus to fdind teh perfect size... its very hard for me.. sometimes i wish i was a size bigger.. but am jus naturally slim.. i understand your point. and me.. once you are comfortable in what u wear its all well and done...
ReplyDeleteTall, short, skinny, fat..... we all have our challenges. The beauty is not in the costume, the beauty is not in the corset, nor the make up. The beauty is IN YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteDO you, FEEL you, LOVE you, FLAUNT YOU!!!
Size 6 - 16 The beautiful women of YUMA on de road!!!
I don't think I have to defend myself on this I spoke of my experience as a bigger person. I know skinny girls find it much more easier than me to get clothes. When I go to a store before I ask they say we only bring it from xs to large. Some stores don't even bother to bring bigger sizes either way I guess its hard for both of us skinny or big.
ReplyDeleteI do however know that if you go in a mas band now u WILL easily get in a section you won't hear them say all the big sizes sell out.
Well that's my 50 cents take on that. Onto the next 1
C you on the flip side. I'm out.
