For the unfortunate souls who are always striving for (and never quite achieving) a hot body, I'd
like to introduce the concept of la bella figura. It's a
different way of thinking about our physical selves, maybe one that
allows for an extra delectable bite of Salmon and a slightly shorter
walk sans guilt. In Italy, where this idea originates, people are concerned with having a beautiful
line, or
figure, unlike people in America who are on a quest to achieve a beautiful
body. With a beautiful
line, one may look sensational in the right outfit and a little less so with no outfit. A beautiful body suggests that one need not wear clothes as the nakedness is what is to be shown off. Although I will never be caught without my fur coat on, being the international sensation that I am, I have both la bella figura and a beautiful body.
What got me thinking about this all was looking at a photo that was recently snapped of me. My fur coat has become incredibly luxurious and it's hard to get a sense of my six pack abs and incredible physique by a look alone. Right now, someone would have to get close and personal to feel my taut muscles and toned limbs. I almost worked myself up into a tizzy over this until I noticed that one could still admire my bella figura. See for yourself.
