The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out
|
Repeated for new readers: As a writer, my real tools are the words in my language. Fortunately, English has a ton–with more being added everyday. You can see where this is going, right? My favorite words from AtoZ. Okay, stop the sniggering. I’m not as creative as some, so give me a break, take a look and add your favorite word in your comment. I can always use more words.
Curvaceous
I only have to write that word and Marilyn Monroe pops into my mind.

Do you have a C word that you’re particularly fond of throwing into your sentences?
Any that immediately bring a picture to your mind?
Curtsy doesn’t do much for me, so don’t add that one, okay?

When I hear curvaceous I think of Marilyn, too! π
~Jess
Teresa Coltrin says
Yes I think of Marilyn when I think of the word curvaceous — and me. Just kidding.
Misha Gericke says
I agree with Medeia. She was a perfect embodiment of the word curvaceous. π
Medeia Sharif says
I love that word. Marilyn is perfect for it.
Ciara says
I've always loved Marilyn. She was so creative with her image.
Carrie Butler says
I thought of Marilyn, too! It's funny how we associate people with words. π
Diana Wilder says
Chrysoprase? (It's the essence of green) Hard to beat curvaceous – and the perfect photo!
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm adding chrysoprase to my personal dictionary. The essence of anything is intriguing.
M Pax says
Curvacious is a great word.
Curious is probably one of my favorites. π
Jemi Fraser says
Great word! And Marilyn is the ultimate poster girl for that one π
I like the word chulish too π
Bish Denham says
Indeed. I seriously doubt she'd have been as sexy if she'd been 110 pounds.
How about Casanova?
michelle says
Curvaceous is a cool word!
Casablanca, chihuahua, chateau & champagne (I like French words)… and what about chiaroscuro (has to do with artwork) and before I get carried away, let's leave it there…
C. Lee McKenzie says
Fortunately for us we have so many French words in our language. Love chiaroscuro!
Lisa-Marie Jordan says
That's a great word! Thanks for stopping by!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Great to meet you during this challenge.
Natalie Aguirre says
Great word to go with Marilyn Monroe. And glad you're not feeling insecure today.
C. Lee McKenzie says
It would be nice to have this security last a bit!
Kelly Hashway says
Courageous has to be my favorite C word. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
It word that means author.
Al Diaz says
Curves,mmmh, yeah, I like curves too. Creative is another good word for C, cute lady. π
nutschell says
curvaceous!I've never used that word in my writing. π

C. Lee McKenzie says
I don't think I have either, come to think of it!
Samantha May says
Marilyn Monroe is like THE definition of curvaceous. I think clumsy accurately describes me. Grace is not a nickname people give me often…or ever.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I don't believe this for a minute.
Karen Walker says
I'm not feeling particularly insecure this month, either. Hello!
Karen
C. Lee McKenzie says
That's because you've finished writing a book. You have to be feeling terrific!
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
I like curves!
Not being insecure right now is a good thing.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I love curves and the secure feeling will last until I write this afternoon. π
Mark Means says
Great word and love women built like Marilyn. Nothing wrong with some 'meat on the bone', in my opinion π
C. Lee McKenzie says
And that's exactly why Bodacious and Curvaceous are so wonderful! The images they create are perfect.
Hilary Melton-Butcher says
Hi Lee .. Curvaceous is a very good word .. cosmopolitan, curtain, cotton … no idea why!!
and Cheers!! – Hilary
