Beauty comes in different colours, shapes and sizes
My video submission for the "we love Figure 8 women " contest.. The Video was voted best video by two of the three international judges. A toast to all Big, Bold and Beautiful women everywhere. Stand up tall and let the world worship at your sultry feet!
It reminded me of this quote, don't know if you'd already heard it, it's from Clarissa Pinkola Estes' book "Women Who Run With The Wolves":
======== To take much pleasure in a world filled with many kinds of beauty is a joy in life to which all women are entitled. To support only one kind of beauty is to be somehow unobservant of nature. There cannot be only one kind of songbird, only one kind of pine tree, only one kind of wolf. There cannot be one kind of baby, one kind of man, or one kind of woman. There cannot be one kind of breast, one kind of waist, one kind of skin.
...
A woman cannot make the culture more aware by saying "Change". But she can change her own attitude toward herself, thereby causing devaluing projections to glance off. She does this by taking back her body. By not forsaking the joy of her natural body, by not purchasing the popular illusion that happiness is only bestowed on those of a certain configuration or age, by not waiting or holding back to do anything, and by taking back her real life, and living it full bore, all stops out. This dynamic self-acceptance and self-esteem are what begins to change attitudes in the culture. ========
Thanks lovely!I emailed you on facebook!! I read about you and i am a fan! I like your stand on alot of things.P.S. I deleted the first post because of a silly type lol
All's been said. What to say!!! Big Girls,u go! N when someday i join your ranks,i'll be right there alongside you all and proud. I'm not big but i never stand to hear people disparage anyone for their size, "difference" or age. Again,diversity's the word.
Thanks Pearl. Whatever size you are, enjoy it, flaunt it, just stay healthy! As for me, I love flaunting my curves and boobs of course, but I'll never disparage any woman without curves or boobs, beauty comes in different colours, shapes and sizes. There is no 'one size fits all' beauty, let's enjoy and take pride in our special kind of beauty and let no one tell us otherwise!
Loving the spirit of this video.
