Bikini Bods

Excuse me while I stray away from my usual running nonsense but I came across this article today and was very intrigued by it.  A poll was done on women with the best bikini bodies of all time.  Here are the results of that poll:

1. Marilyn Monroe
2. Christina Hendricks
3. Ursula Andress
4. Kim Kardashian
5. Tulisa Contostavlos
6. Raquel Welch
7. Helen Mirren
8. Scarlett Johansson
9. Amy Childs
10. Lucy Mecklenburgh
11. Kelly Brook
12. Beyonce Knowles
13. Tyra Banks
14. Brook Shields
15. Elle Macpherson
16. Kim Cattrall
17. Rihanna
18. Sharon Stone
19. Jennifer Aniston
20. Goldie Hawn

I honestly was really surprised by that list. I was expecting to see names like Giselle, Gwyenth Paltrow or Adriana Lima towards the top of list but it turns out they weren’t even on it at all. People, this list rocks.  The skinniest person on that list is Jennifer Aniston who of course is not a skeleton but has a beautifully toned body.

Girlfriend can sure rock a bikini.  But look at that list, Christina Hendricks, Beyonce and Tyra.  All of these women have incredible voluptuous bodies and they have been voted to have the best bikini bods in the business.  Are we finally starting to see a change for the better?

 I’m not sure if that list means anything, but to me it’s pretty cool to see some women with real bodies topping the list.  We all struggle with our body imagine, some of us more than others, but it’s really awesome to see women who don’t starve themselves struttin their stuff in a bikini and looking fly.  Being a woman in this day in age is really confusing when you are constantly hearing about new diets, pills or shakes that will melt the pounds away.  But if you eat relatively healthy and exercise, what matters is that you are taking care of your body not whether or not you fit into those size 00 jeans.

So I’m calling all women.  Take a minute today to go to the mirror and check yourself out.  Instead of seeing all those little things you want to fix, see what makes you beautiful.  I’m telling you to look in that mirror and say ‘damn I look good’ because honey, you do.

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!
