Well said!!!

I’m a single mother-of-8 with a stretchmarked tum that looks just like the girl on p. 194’s. There have been too many times when I apologize to a new boyfriend about the road-mapped jellybelly to a new boyfriend. I swear they never care. They say be proud. I have learned to not care. Next step…to own it like the girl on p.194.

Cheers!
Val

Thanks! I haven’t subscribed to major mags for a very long time – love ‘Sage Woman’ but don’t even get that. I can see this as a good image for soul collage – as you say, what a treat to see this!

Thank you for your comment. As I mentioned in the letter, I also stopped reading most women’s magazines for the same reasons. In fact, that’s why I created VenusVision, as an alternative that doesn’t tell you what you should look like, but provides some of the useful information many of the magazines still manage to have. So glad you liked the picture.

That’s fantastic letter and a great photo. As someone who is tall and curvy and proud of that, it makes a refreshing change to see that. I’d even go as far as to say that I’ve up reading most mainstream women’s magazines here in Britain, because I’m tired of being told what I should look like…But she really is absolutely gorgeous, whoever she is.

I know what you mean. I feel like plastering it on my wall. (Some people might think that’s a little weird though!) LOL!

Great post – thanks so much.

Have seen the photo many times now but it’s still making me smile.
