Do You Think Jessica Simpson is Fat?

A slew of tabloids do and they are milking photos of the bigger blonde songstress for all they’re worth. And so it begins… another round of who’s fat in Hollywood.

Exercise… well, that’s … Continue reading →

I have always prided myself on being the person that has thrown all black (African American) stereotypes to the wind. For one, I have no rhythm and I am proud of it. Nope, I can’t dance. For the last 14+ years of my marriage and the 6 years of dating that preceded, my poor husband has had to drag me onto the dance floor kicking and screaming, and then take the horrible assault on his feet. … Continue reading →

The mesomorph is built very athletically. A mesomorph can build muscle quickly and easily. They have a well-defined chest and shoulders that are typically larger and broader than your waistline. The hips are usually the same width as your shoulders and your trunk and lower body are well defined. Most people look at Mesomorphs with envy because they seem to be built for workouts, workout clothes and more. Most … Continue reading →
