Response to Thanks, you too!

WTF. No flames-- I am not doubting you. But I see so many girls working as coloraturas that come in a variance of what could be considered a normal weight. I can understand (I don't have to agree) if someone is very obviously too heavy, but good lord!

I am a size 12 and squarely within the "normal" weight charts for my height. I do not have any obvious fat, except on my lower abdomen where careful clothing choices hide it well. Not many people know that is my size. I have been told a lot of things about my total package (way back when I was a very light voice), not all good, but size was definitely not an issue. And I am curvy. I've seen me plenty o'coloraturas who do not look like sticks. So take heart!! Don't go overboard, please. If I were below a size 10 I would be in the hospital!!

Sorry- this is a sore subject with me. It sucks, doesn't it!
