Imperfect Beauty

I'm doing this post for my kids.

The first image is shopped to rid some of the graininess & enhance my scars, the second is untouched.

Mass Media states you must be a size 4 or smaller with perfect teeth, skin and bone structure to be considered beautiful. I disagree. I say fuck that. It's time we see people for who they are, how they treat one another, not by the false beauty being shoved down our throats. I am 5'6 and my size ranges from 9-12.

We are unique beings that need to embrace our differences and not be ashamed by not being perfect. I have man arms and look like I survived an attack from Freddy. Embrace true beauty, Imperfect Beauty.

Amen.

2. FOR GINGERS ONLY. From woman to man or woman to woman (with some slight word changes that is): "Walk on son, you can't handle this, *points to her man juicer or for the ladies love hole* my Ginger Snaps." Amen.
