The other night I finally caved in to Chloe’s pestering and took her to see High School Musical 3 with a couple of her pals. Pete had taken the boys to the footy so I thought we’d have a girls’ trip out. Chloe and all her school friends are obsessed with the whole thing. Or actually no I’ll rephrase that. Chloe and all her school friends are obsessed with Zac Efron.

Who? I hear you cry. Well he’s the heartthrob of the whole thing (and quite tasty too I might add. I hope Pete’s not reading this. He’s FAR too young for me anyway!). It was a nice feel-good film – and the girls gazed at Zac Efron to their heart’s content. (Whilst I pretended to be much more interested in the popcorn. Ahem. Actually I hope Chloe isn’t reading this either.)

Anyway whilst doing a bit of research for work/ googling Zac Efron I found out something that made me like him even more. Here’s a quote I found from Zac:

“I don’t know the exact measurements but I like curvy girls - girls with hips… I don’t always find myself dating super-skinny girls. It’s not all about what you look like, it’s so much more. I know it sounds really cheesy but it’s more about what’s on the inside when you’re dating a girl.”

It’s so refreshing to hear that he likes curvy girls (and I don’t mean because I fancy my chances!) Girls these days are under so much pressure to be skinny, even girls as young as Chloe. I want Chloe to grow up knowing she can be whatever size she is – I don’t want her starving herself. Plus size girls often look so much healthier to my mind anyway – and I’m very proud of my plus size curves thank-you very much.

There’s so much choice of plus size fashion around these days too. There used to be nothing! Marisota always has something to fit the bill for me: it’s plus size fashion that’s neither frumpy nor fashion victim!

Anyway got to go now, got more ‘research’ to do…
