Thick is the new Sexy

Orobo ki bo! E buru e bu! Fatty ma! All of these, I have been called and even more. Have you ever been called these? Have you felt being big is not sexy and out of style?  Do not let them lie to you that 'slim fit de reign oh', that is a fat lie. News flash: Thick is the new sexy! 

Let me tell you something, It was before that the image of a beautiful woman was a slim-model-like figure, now a lot of Oyinbo girls go for butt surgery and breast enlargement so they can get exactly what a lot of our African women (You and I) have naturally. Kim Kardashian has put "thick and curvy" on the map. Nobody wants to look skinny and bony anymore. African men kuku like to hold something and position something. So girl, you are beautiful, just find what works for you, create your own style that makes you comfortable, confident and be stylish about it. Be bold and have fun flaunting those killer curves. It is dogs (those type of dogs they call Shileh in Igbo or Bingo), that loves bones, but the main dogs, the ajebutter kinda dogs (Bull Dogs) love meat, big meat! Lol. Just to brighten your day. 

So you can be big or thick and still look as sexy as hell and even sexier than skinny girls.There is nothing to shy away from being big and fleshy. Just find the right type of  outfit that works for you! You can follow some celebrities for inspiration.

Here are my top 5 Thick and Sexy Naija celebrities that will inspire you!

1. Omotola!

  She is a mother of four and still she is able to pull off a big figure like hers. She shows a bit of flesh and wears clothes that accentuates her curves, while I have seen mothers that after 2 kids or maybe 1, they lose touch with styles that flaunts their curves.

       2.  Uriel!

       Eish!!!, this girl spits fire from her body. She makes you look at her and go green with envy. How can God bless one person with so much curves! She sure knows how to make skinny look ugly. I love her sense of style, her sense of fashion inspires me. She can rock about anything on her thick melanin Igbo skin and kills it with her smile.

      3. Toolz!
      Ah mama! Toolz dropping it hot always like she does on The Beat 99.9 FM. She is hoooot and definitely has enough toolz to fix any man! She has been in the industry for a while even though she is an OAP, she doesn’t let that deter her from representing big women while at work or on the red carpet.

3      4. Daniella Okeke! 
             Sultry woman. Nicki Minaj has nothing on you girl! True definition of Coke Bottle Shape. From her choice of clothes to her make up and everything about her speaks class and confidence.

5      5. Isoken!

      Instagram slay Queen toh badt!. She sure flaunts her curves like Kim Kardashian. She is very good at putting together outfit that will motivate you. She could be daring but I have learnt that confidence is the new sexiness from her. She is bold with colors and pulls them off beautifully. Her makeup always goes with whatever she wears

I hope this inspires you and fires you up. So do not be stereotyped into thinking big is not beautiful, it all depends on how you dress up. Always wear clothes that flatters what needs to be flattered and hides what needs to be hidden so you don’t look tacky. Eat right, do a little work-outs and focus on your abs, you will be alright.
