The reason why I started the clothing line Licious is because I had trouble finding clothes for my body type.

What I believe in and the way I work with my clients is we're so quick to say what we don't like about our bodies, but it's really important to say the things we do like about our bodies. If you know you have great legs or a great butt, or if you're curvy, show it off if you're proud of it.

In real everyday life, I don't walk around feeling fat, and if on TV I'm considered fat, honestly, I kind of like it, because I'm a big advocate of positive unique representations of women in media. And so I like how I'm able to represent a curvier body and still be beautiful.

Avoid Straight Lines

When talking about roads or paths, 'curvy' suggests a slower, more cautious drive or walk.

Impact on Speed

'Curvy' in body description often has a positive, attractive connotation.

Positive Connotation

Understanding attitudes toward body shapes varies by culture; 'curvy' can be very complimentary.

Cultural Sensitivity

'Curvy' can be used euphemistically to address larger body sizes without being offensive.

Euphemistic Usage

 Some are a little bit more heartbreaking. In Baton Rouge, they talk about being curvy; downstream in New Orleans, they still talk about the flood. Folks in the American capital will say they're interesting. People in Baltimore, Maryland, will say they're afraid. This is New Jersey. I grew up somewhere between "annoying" and "cynical."
