Skinny VS Curvy

A while back, Jordin (who is 5′11” and a US size 12, according to most sources) gave some tips to plus-size girls on how to dress for their shape. The tips are a little old, but Jordin gives some great advices, definitely worth posting. Here they are: 

1. Baggy clothes can make you look bigger. You want something that hugs you in all the right places — just not too much, where it’s too tight and you’re hanging out all over!”

2. I have a tiny waist in proportion to the rest of my body, so I like to wear corsety things that hug my waist.

3.  Darker types slim your legs down. A lighter wash jean makes everything look bigger.

4. V-necks give you an elongated neck. A crew neck can look like it’s choking you!

5. Dainty necklaces are nice. Chunky ones cut (your figure) up.”

How are we gonna rate this time? Simple: 1 means “chubby/thick” and 10 means “curvy” - is Jordin closer to a thick figure or would you rather say that she’s got the curvy look going on?

Curvy Scale Time! Rate Jordin Sparks!

Versus’s expert rating: Jordin in a 6 on the Chubby to Curvy Scale, as she manages to combine equitably and aesthetically her healthy frame with curves in the right spots.

I thought and I thought some more and then I realized that in case I would have called Jennifer “curvy”, some of you would have jumped to say that she’s not curvy, that Scarlett is curvy and that J is just… chubby / thick. And yeah, you might be right.

So, you know what? Place Jennifer in whatever category you please and label Kelly with “skinny”, “emaciated” or “just fine” - but in the end, the point is that these two girls are as different as you can get in the celebrity world.

It might also be a battle between “underweight” and “overweight” - and yes, I’m sure you prefer something in the middle, but hey, this is the game!

The questions: Whose body is hotter? Whose body would you rather have? Who looks better?

Opposite body types: Kelly Ripa Versus Jennifer Hudson! Choose your side!

Call her “chubby”, call her “curvy”, America has got one plump and feminine looking figure, which is precisely why she needs to be placed on the Curvy Scale! What’s the Curvy Scale? Is a way of rating one’s “curviness”, that’s what it is!

So, what do you think? How would you rate America on the Curvy Scale? Ratings start from 1 and end with 10, where 1 means “flat *** rather than hourglass” and 10 is “nice & round hourglass reinvented”

Versus’s Expert Rating: America is close to the top right here, so a 9 on the “curviness” scale would do her justice.

I know that Jordin doesn’t have the ideal curvy body, but we need all the resources in order to balance the situation here - cause you’ve got to agree, “skinny” is much more popular than “curvy” in Hollywood.

Even if you might call Jordin “chubby” (I’d call her “healthy” though), you’ll have to agree that she is making the most of her size 12 figure on this occasion. In fact, her dress resembles quite a lot Alicia’s dress in the previous post and basically follows the same “tricks”: long enough to camouflage thicker thighs, marking the waist and the upper body and hiding the hips and thighs under a smart and fashionable design.

P.S. Blue nail polish is on so many toes these days.
