I have been watching Xfactor lately and the one singer who sent chills throughout my entire body was Alice. She came on the stage with such presence and grace, then she sang. Damn. That girl has the most beautiful voice.

She explained how she was bullied for being overweight and music was her escape, I can fully relate. She has a great attitude towards life, smiles, created her own business and one of her life goals is to make others laugh. When did people start judging people for their appearance? When did we become a society who loved Marilyn Monroe who was a 'plus size', she had jiggly bits and was a sex icon.. now we are an airbrushed society who believes your size is apart of your personality and it has become a huge part of 'what matters'.

Why do we find a need to comment on peoples appearances. Does it give you a sense of happiness? Gratification? Are you that sad with yourself or just trolling for a laugh?
So, what defines sexy? It's how you hold yourself, the confidence within yourself and what I like to call 'Your Beyonce' to be a fierce bitch. I have been told some horrible things about my body at all different sizes ranging from a 10-16.. I came to the realisation no matter what size you are people are still going to be arseholes.
My advice is that if you want to wear a bikini on the beach or shorts in the summer then do it because we only live once (yolo? was this ever acceptable) because if that is what makes you happy then just do it!
