My Influences- The Two Christina's

-->

Christina Hendricks-

-->

Christina Hendricks is well known for her most famous role to date, in Mad Men. Seen as the mature softly sexual lead secretary, Hendricks has never failed to surprise us with her curves. She uses her curves to her character's advantage within the series, and displays the type of fullness that women back in that era had. Not only is she what men want, but she is what woman want too. No other woman can do the bust like she does, she has a beautiful complexion and features, and she’s ginger (power to the gingers). She rocks every style, and was totally made to play a character from the era of the Mad Men series. She is just one of those amazing women who you think how does she do it with those curves.

Also starring in a few episodes of 'Firefly' which is a American space western drama, Hendricks has not been afraid to work what she has. Of course its not all about her body when it comes to acting, it's talent, however it does get her noticed and dam she can work the carpet! 

Christina Aguilera- 

After seeing her arrive in 1999 with her number one hit 'Genie in a Bottle' this lady has never been afraid to let it be known of her full-on confidence with her body, sexuality, and her artistic side. We know that she has THE voice, and makes it good, and sometimes bad, that she knows it too. She has done extremely well career wise, up until recently. Her last two albums 'Bionic' and 'Lotus' haven't done as well as she'd liked, but her personal life has been more in the limelight than her talented music. After a short marriage and sudden shock divorce from her previous husband Jordon Bratman, she has been more known for her voluptuous weight gain since then. Looking back at her career, I thought Christina looked good when she did her Stripped tour, but it was only until she has gained all this weight recently, that I feel she looks better now than in her early career days. 

Her record label has even said to her that she needs to lose weight, as it is not fair on all the people that work for her including backing dancers for her tours and music videos. They were basicly saying that no one will see her in tour because of her weight, so if no one will see her, that means no work for everyone else. That is insulting! Thank goodness she has the balls to tell them to f*** off, because it is HER body, and seeing as everything else she does is controlled by her record label and her busy work schedule, her body and her weight is probably the only thing she has for herself. As well as looking after her young son (from first husband), she has always had her head screwed on. I love the fact that she is so full of confidence, but sometimes it verges on arrogance. 

Christina has always looked gorgeous, and has never hidden behind anything to hid her body. When people ask her about her weight, she answers honestly, but also with a slight attitude. Like Claire Richards, Christina isn't afraid to be bigger and curvier, as I think that's how she's suppose to be naturally. I have paid more attention to her because of her attitude towards weight and eating, rather than her music, however her music will always have attitude in it. 

Both these women are an influence for me because of their bigger hourglass figures. Aguilera is the same height as me, so I can see from her that more weight still looks hot on a small women, and so encourages me to gain more weight, and Hendricks gives me fashion confidence, as I find it hard to find clothes to fit my curvy figure. 

Both incredibly head-strong women.
