Jamaican women corpulent women have coined the term fluffy as an endearment to asserts that big sized women are attractive and sexy. It seeks to devalue the odious statements and perceptions that are always being attached to individuals of rotund physique.
Miss Kitty coined the term fluffy and it defines a woman who in most cases is rotund and confident. The fluffy exudes love and appreciation for her physique. A fluffy diva is not just a woman who is overweight but also a woman who is confident with her size and seeks ways to improve her appearance and embrace her physique.
Fluffy is as much psychological as it is physiological. Self esteem, self regard and self confidence are major indices of the fluffy diva’s character as is self image. A fluffy woman embraces acceptance of one’s physique even though the world may be endorsing an image that is far thinner than that of the fluffy woman. The fluffy woman is not fazed by the ideals of beauty and attractiveness that pop culture is advocating.
The Fluffy woman is intelligent and she wears clothes that accentuates her beauty and bolsters her self image. A fluffy woman strives to showcase to the world that her size does not inhibit her potential to be a star and to be a diva. Her size will not prevent her from being the best person that she can become. A fluffy diva’s size will not preclude her from attaining self sufficiency, self actualization and self optimality.
A fluffy diva wishes to be designated by her disposition, achievements and optimization rather than her physique. She resists the shallow ideologies of a world that banks on thinness. She will not change to suit the world. A fluffy diva treats a man as he deserves because no man is deserving of her. A fluffy diva enjoys the finer things in life and eats to her heart’s content.
However life can be miserable at times for a fluffy diva as she is constantly battling the thin ideals of the world and the obvious backlash that she will receive from different fraternities for choosing to accept an unhealthy lifestyle and unattractive size. The health pundits will bash her for promoting an unwholesome lifestyle.
Men and increasingly women can be extremely unkind and intolerant of a fluffy diva. She has to be constantly on a mental defense of her self image. She has to develop and maintain some level of self conceptual fortress to protect her self confidence as it will always be bombarded by affronts and offensive statements from society.
Miss Kitty epitomizes the essences of a fluffy diva. She is perceivably confident and has embraced her physique and attempts to accentuate her dexterity. She is a full woman not just physically but intellectually and socially. Others sometimes questions Miss Kitty’s confidence of her size as she sometimes wear clothing that degrades rather than emphasize her physique. Some individuals have gone on to refer to her as a verbose self deceptive woman basking in her self made importance.
Some experts have claimed that her projection of confidence is just a façade utilized to encourage an unhealthy lifestyle and poor aesthetic appreciation. Many nutritionist and dietician asserted that the fluffy diva concept has been encouraging women who are morbidly obese to maintain their size status as they now call themselves fluffy. It as if Miss Kitty has sanitized unhealthy lifestyle.
It is rather difficult to convince experts that a person can weigh over three hundred pounds and still be considered sexy, appealing and wholesome individual. Everyone knows that maintaining a healthy size and weigh can vastly improves one’s health and lifespan.
Frankly speaking, if someone wants to love and care for their body; then I would assume that they want to do anything for it that will ensure that lives forever. Trying to lose weight is a great start to loving and appreciating some ones physique. A fluffy diva never loses weight because she feels pressured but because she knows that she needs to improve her life style and life span.
On the other hand, people should decide for themselves what is important for their bodies and what makes them comfortable. If a person feels comfortable at four hundred pounds then that persons should be the determinant of what makes him/her experience self fulfillment. Society, the media nor so called pundits should not conclude what engenders self completion and optimization. That decision should rest with the individual and with that individual alone.
