I read a quote from the designer/stylist in InStyle this month "Jordin Sparks's best assets - her creamy skin, sexy décolletage and tiny waist, should be shown off, not hidden," says Poppie Harris of L.A. Looks like she has done just that successfully with the Idol many times! I think that the pink dress by poppie couture focuses on Jordin’s best parts and accentuates her curves with lines.

I've been thinking about "curves" as well, and how the very word seems to connote a firmness, even if not stick-thin. A car has curves, smooth and taut, but my body isn't like this at all. It's soft and poke-able and spills over. A curve is contained within bounds, by my body isn't surely isn't. It's as if it's ok to be "curvy," but only insofar as those curves are controlled. We never see a roll or spill, do we? Nope--clothes contain and shape and firm up and control the curves, or cover them up, as does Jordin's dress (which matches one of Lakisha's dresses from earlier in the season, but in the girlish colors of pink and turquoise) but flitting out over what we only now imagine to be F.A.T. My eyes are supposed to see that front panel and fantasize that THAT is actually the contour of the body underneath. I'm going to keep thinking about these curves, and what it is I want to look like when I want to look "good." Thanks, m, for your marvelous post.
