thickum thursday

This is my personal declaration of Thickum Thursday – a moment in time dedicated to acknowledging and appreciating the thickness in our universe.

Derived from the Urban Dictionary:

1 thickum (THIK-um) n. [women] who are a little bigger. . .in a good way.

It’s no secret, I believe “thick” ladies are very beautiful. This is not an absolute, as a man’s preference varies by individual, but my personal preference are the bountiful curves that comprise their sultry silhouette. I even married who one would consider a “thickum” and while her personality, personal goals, spiritual beliefs and lifestyle were the deciding factor – her being a little bigger (in a good way) totally satisfied my aesthetic desires in a life partner. Just being real.

On this Thursday (today) take time to admire the thickums within your universe. They’re everywhere. Thickness represents prosperity and abundance; it’s a state of mind as well as a demographic for Ashley Stewart and Lane Bryant. Even the “horizontally challenged” can have a thickum state of mind and it shows: confidence, self-assurance, high-self esteem are residuals of having “thicotine” in your system. No one is exempt.

Being a thickum may have originated with the shapely physical sizes of millions, but it transcends anatomy and blessed are those who can witness and experience thickness on multiple levels for I believe that is the true epitome of wonderful.

Being thick is not about pressing your boobs together to form a plumber’s crack in your ample cleavage nor donning a butt-hugging pair of jeans with a thong that has as much control of your bootyliciousness as a 3rd grade crossing guard has in a downtown New York intersection. If you like to put your goodies in the window, do you. In my opinion, it’s more about the curves – wrapped tastefully in attire that charges your imagination. As one person stated online, “They feel better in your arms when you hug them. They fill out their clothes nicer. They just look sexier and healthier than stick figure chicks.”

I recall the anticipation I once felt for Thursdays when it was Cosby/Different World night or Martin/Living Single/NY Undercover night. I want that feeling back. Thickum Thursday is about anticipation of a celebration rather than exploitation. Thickum Thursday embraces the Model Minority.

Whether in the office, out in the streets, relaxing at the pool or getting cheese on your #3 value meal – take a moment to discover the thickums around you. It’s a beautiful thing.

Celebrate thickness today and beyond.
