“Fashion is an industry to make money. It plays into human psychology. We want to belong, we want to be loved. I’m not trying to demonize the fashion industry- I love the fashion industry- but style is about taking the control out of the industry’s hand and having you decide what works for you.”

As more and more women are celebrating as well as embracing their shapes and physiques, retailers are answering the call to provide fashionable couture for more than those that fall within the size 2 category. Fashion retailer Torrid made it clear that for the summer season they want women to feel amazing and confident with their bodies. The CEO of Torrid explained,
Any woman young or old can testify that swim wear shopping can be quite intimidating. Thoughts of fluffy mid-sections, muffin-top, boob spillage, thunder thighs and even cottage cheese legs make wearing little to nothing seem worse than jumping out of a plane. Moreover, it seems that some designers do not want to cater to bodies that do not resemble a clothes hanger. How is Torrid changing the game when it comes to bathing suits? Torrid’s Senior Vice President of Design says of their summer collection,
All that time designing swim wear was well worth it by the look of things. The collection is vibrant and the ad campaign showing them off is simply gorgeous. Torrid’s swim wear collection for summer 2015 is available now is covers sizes 12-28.

This year back on March 12 Ariana Miyamoto made history by becoming the first ever bi-racial Miss Universe Japan! Although, her win caused quite a stir what she accomplished could not be silenced by internet trolls or nay-sayers. It wasn’t just the crown that had motivated Ariana to strive for greatness and for the ultimate beauty title in behalf of her country. Miyamoto explained,
Miyamoto wants to continue to push boundaries of what is considered true beauty in Asian culture. Statistics show that bi-racial or mixed ethnicity children are on the rise in Japan so a strong voice is definitely needed to build esteem and confidence. Standing tall at 5’7 Ariana is up for the challenge to change public opinion. Nevertheless, this is not to say that the Asian community as a whole has not been supportive of her big win. Besides, receiving votes from 7 of the competition’s judges, Ariana says,
Ariana is definitely a gorgeous young lady and inspiration that beauty cannot be defined by a certain standard or preconceived list of features. Once again congratulations on your big win this year because we are crushing!

Miss Me With The Negativity! You would think summertime would be all about sunshine, hanging out with old as well as new friends and searching for new adventures. Sadly, however, during this time you also begin to weed out true friends from friend-enemies. Yes, we all know that they are out there and why is this the case, who knows. Maybe it’s just human nature in which people don’t seem so connected as they were before. Perhaps because of lack of communication, misunderstanding, insecurities or they may even feel like they are better than you for some odd reason.
For whatever the case don’t let this get you down. It’s a big Big world out there and your time is too precious to be deliberating others actions of why they are acting a certain way. You will make new friends to add to your current friends. These will be ones that will really enrich your life not pollute it. So then, let these old “friends” go, they are not really true to you because true friends work things out no matter what. So tell them Miss Me With The Negativity! Deuces!!
Enjoy your summer dolls. xoxo
