Strong women, or strong, is the new sexy. Last night I met up with my girls. We were finally able to sit down together again.

It was a lovely, relaxed evening at our favorite Italian restaurant. Cindy, Melania and Jessy showed up late, as always. I've gotten used to that.

We're all women who have been through one diet or another. We have a normal build, and yet we're always somehow trying to get thinner. That was our topic of conversation that evening, because Cindy had been approached on the street by a model scout. He was looking for tall, stronger women for a fashion spread in a well-known fashion magazine. They were supposed to be mostly ordinary women, not paid models.

We were surprised and, at the same time, very curious. Of all people, our shy Cindy jumped at it and clearly said "yes."

Strong Women - The Evening Made Me Think

The evening with my girls got me thinking. Shouldn't we all just embrace our curves and enjoy life? Curvy women are simply in style. We see it everywhere. Mom jeans that give extra emphasis to the backside. We walk around in them ourselves, and then we discuss some new super-slim protein drinks.

Curvy women are simply trending, and when I ask my brother, he always says: "Strong women are way hotter in bed!"

If it were up to him, every woman should have:

  • a great bust
  • a round backside
  • a full, pretty face
  • and an hourglass figure

None of his friends like it when women are thin. He likes fit, well-proportioned women. Women who are simply in shape and love to eat. Because he and his buddies are true gourmets and sometimes cook together. Times have simply changed enormously.

Why Is the Trend for Strong Women Only Coming Now?

I wonder why strong women are only trending now. That could have happened long ago, and then we girls around the globe would have saved ourselves a lot. Still, I believe it still takes courage to embrace your curves. It has certainly gotten better, but when you look at your reflection in a bikini after winter, that confident new attitude does start to wobble.

Is there maybe a bit too much around the hips? Women will probably always find something to criticize about themselves. Feeling like you're always at peace with yourself is probably rather difficult. It would be a worthwhile goal, but maybe also an unreachable one. In any case, something is happening, and Rome wasn't built in a day either. Step by step we move forward - curve or no curve!
