All hail the Queen!

Because when it comes to sexy curves, Queen Latifah has been declared the supreme ruler.

OneStopPlus.com, a shopping site for plus-size women, asked visitors to vote in its Sexiest Women Survey, choosing from 10 women including Queen Latifah, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate Dillon, Mia Tyler, Crystal Renn, Jennifer Hudson, Kirstie Alley, Whitney Thompson, Jill Scott and Marilyn Monroe.

"There is no singular definition of beauty and now plus-size women, the majority of the population, have a voice in choosing the most beautiful curvy women in history," Nancy Nadler LeWinter, editorial director of OneStopPlus.com, said in a press release.

Latifah launched a plus-size lingerie line, Curvation, in 2007, and is often named among the best-dressed when she hits red carpets draped in designs from the likes of Carmen Marc Valvo and Halston.

However, she cut the height into thin layers which was enough to cover a significantly larger area, so much for the tale. In reality the city was built here to be able to control the trade roots.

Working as an esthetician women have always asked what they can do about their wrinkles and how to keep looking young. I always recommend just one skincare product, I tell them about Beauty Lift http://BeautyLift.notlong.com and how it contains the most potent, doctor grade wrinkle erasing serum that revitalizes the skin and reduces signs of aging. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%

I have always found Queen Latifah sexy, both in terms of looks and her charm. I am a man of very varied tastes in women, and I think it is wonderful that a true plus sized beauty is getting recognition (as opposed to the so-called plus sized types that are actually just... average build).

What worked best for me when I lost weight was by following two simple rules. I work out in the mornings on an empty stomach and take a natural supplement called Acai-eez RESVERATROL formula. The Acai-eez RESV has made such a difference .The Acai-eez RESV contains an amazing abundance of anti-oxidant rich ingredients that also help the body's processes of metabolism and digestion normalize, promoting healthy weight loss. Acai-eez RESV has helped me to lose over thirty pounds! I have more energy, more stamina, faster digestion and I feel amazing! Lose weight and provide your body with anti-oxidants that protect the body and excite the cells! And Acai-eez NEVER auto bills or auto ships so it's always safe to order from them! I recommend Acai-eez RESV to everyone who wants to lose weight and feel great!

Love Latifah - but don't think she's sexy at all. When I look at her, I see a middle-age + nurturing woman. The folks who voted for Latifah must've voted for Obama.

What is it with some of you wackos that EVERYTHING has to involve politics? If somebody says "good morning " to you,do you make it about Obama? If you found out you were going to die tomorrow,would that be because of some "liberal left-wing,socialist agenda?"

This story is about plus-sized women, since the President is neither plus-sized,nor a woman,how the hell did you manage to connect him to this? Get a damn life,please!!!

HELLLLYEEAAAAHHHH!!!!
FINALLY! She's F*ckin' AWESOME! Kudos to OneStopPlus.com & the peeps who voted for her! Sometimes Beauty is more than what size you wear & how long your hair is....sometimes its an "attitude", and an "Inner Beauty..something that we as an society obviously forgotten.

Observer:"Love Latifah - but don't think she's sexy at all. When I look at her, I see a middle-age + nurturing woman. The folks who voted for Latifah must've voted for Obama."....Really? Where is it written that you have to be under a certain age to be considered "Sexy",or even Beautiful? What's wrong with being "Middle-aged"..although I doubt that she's quite that old. LOL Maybe Miley Cyrus is more your speed...and yes,I did vote for Obama..Proudly!!!!

I completely agree with the choice. Latifah is both physically and intellectually beautiful, plus-sized or not. On a side note, though, Marilyn Monroe was NOT plus-sized!

Marilyn wore a size 14...that would be "plus-size"...but back then that was HOT!

No, Marilyn was not a size 14 by today's standards. She was more of a 10 or 12, which translates to a size 6 today. Sizes have changed over the years, and there is a difference between standard sizing and vanity sizing. Today, a standard 12 is about a vanity size 6. The myth that Marilyn was the same as a plus-sized 14 of today is just that-a myth. Have you seen her photos???

GLAD FORE HER! Latifah looks great in tight jeans! As a matter of fact, ANY plus-size woman looks hot in a great pair of snug-fitting jeans! Don't underestimate the power of denim, ladies! You can have any man at your beck and call, (including ME), if you parade your beautiful self around in any old pair of tight jeans! Look how many songs are written about women in blue jeans! Put 'em on, and we'll follow you anywhere! Whether you are Queen Latifah, or the plus-size queen in the neighborhood, at the grocery store, or the car wash, at the office, the restaurant, club, cleaning the house next door... Gettin all bothered just thinkin' about it. Trust me, I am a man who speaks the truth! There is not a woman alive who doesn't look best in tight jeans! The bigger the better! I would be glad to tell ya more! Anytime, baby!

So all are free to say what they want until someone like Dick comes along and says something that doesn't quite go along with what some of you others think. He didn't express it in the most diplomatic way, true, but then here we go with the one-upsmanship. Y'all just took yourselves right to his level and rendered your credibility useless.
