A BIG Hello

Do you want to know something interesting about popular blogs? The first post is nearly impossible to find. Happy hunting, I’m serious. You will quite literally never find it. While trying to research a snappy and totally non-cliché way to say “HELLO” to the radiant body positivity community online, I discovered this unfortunate fact. Much to my dismay, there is no “how-to” guide on how to make a splashy debut into your first blog post.  

But if there is one thing I love, it is making an entrance. ​

A BIG hello!
​My name is Katie and I really have always been this way. 

See what I mean?

By that I mean I have always been vivacious, confident, plus sized, optomistic, a little over the top and always a little too loud.
 I am a full time actress, singer, and plus size model living in NYC. 
I grew up in North Carolina and I am a southern girl at heart and in the kitchen.
I am a proud graduate of THE Florida State University. BFA Musical Theatre.
Go Noles.
I am a Pisces.
I live with my college roommate and my boyfriend in a hilarious, Three's Company-esque apartment (except they are both men so I guess that makes me Jack?) 
​and
I am a BROAD.

​WOAH WOAH WOAH​ IsN'T A broad a derogatory term for a woman?!
​


Wrong.
At least not in my book

​

DEFINITION: 
BROAD is pre WWII slang originated in the 1930's meaning woman.

• Derived from the characteristic of a woman's hips, which are proportionally wider than the hips of their male counterparts. WIDE HIPS= CHECK!
• An independent and assertive woman. DEFINITELY!
• Usually in show business as a singer, dancer, actor or business-woman who sings loud, parties hard and is often abrasive, sarcastic and in-your-face.  YEP!
• A woman moderately attractive or better, are never seen without her best dresses and perfect makeup, and know how to win in a “man's world”.  MHHMMM!

"People always love a broad -- someone with a sense of humor, someone with a fairly wicked tongue, someone who can belt out a song, someone who takes no guff. " Bette Midler

in a nutshell...
BIG BLONDE & BODY POSITIVE 
​

What can you expect to find here? 
We will cover everything from FASHION, lifestyle, relationships, diet and exercise, and most importantly how to live a BODY POSITIVE life.

You do not have to be skinny.
You do not have to be curvy.
DO YOU HAVE A BODY?
You’re in the right place!
​

Here is what you WILL NOT find here:

Guilt
Shame
Negativity of any kind

​I'm absolutely serious about that last one.
​The idea is called BODY POSITIVE, and it extends past just our bodies and into our every day life. This is not a "woe is me, no one understands my suffering" kind of party. That may tempting at times, but that's not my party.  The beauty we wish to see in the mirror starts in our hearts, and this blog will serve as your energy shot of POSITIVITY during the day-to-day grind.

There is so much more to share, and I cannot wait to get started on this incredible journey
TOGETHER.
