Description
Joining in with the whole trend- Inspired by: [link]I always hate it when girls complain aobut their bodies. EVERYONE has flaws, things they don't like and issues with their body but I believe that there is something beautiful about every single person's body. Whether you feel too skinny (like myself), too fat, too curvy, too pear shaped, apple shaped or whatever shaped, you are beautiful and it doesn't matter. Pleaseeeeee stop letting society tell you that you aren't perfect so you aren't good enough. You know who society really is? Crazy old men sitting in rooms coming up with things that will make product sell. Who gives a shit what they think?
I am very inexperienced and am open to any criticism or tips anyone can give me. Thanks!

Hi there, I'm currently desperately looking for cool artwork such as what is above to be published in the first edition of Brainwash Magazine (www.pozible.com/brainwashproject) and this would be great in the mag. (It is all about body image and the way magazines today make us feel poorly about ourselves.... your work would fit perfectly!!) Please email me if you are interested in having this published in hard copy. Your work would be credited to you and I'd love for you to write a 50 word bio about yourself to include in the magazine. Design work is happening NOW so the sooner you can respond, the better! Please don't reply on this site, please email: Jessica Barlow at thebrainwashproject@gmail.com. I hope to hear from you, kindest, Jessica.

Hi Erica,
Thanks for such a lovely message and, yes, revolutionary idea. Although body image issue is primarily a women's/girls' issue in the media (you ladies NEVER get a break from the commercial onslaught) it affects men/boys two. It is merciless how we are taught to be ugly; taught that self-worth must be purchased. But, there is no reason why we can't all be less than perfect AND beautiful. What I like to tell folks is, "when you love from the heart of Love&Beauty Itself there is only beauty to be found". Our bodies are Divinity's anchor to Earth and so our bodies-- however we receive them, however we choose them-- deserve to be treated with a respect and gentleness equal to that of all things sacred.
Thanks again for the message--a revolution begins with a spark and ends with a star!

Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way, and I obviously understand how you feel, but the whole purpose of this cause is to try (even though it's hard) to be accepting of your body and learn to love it.
I'm sure you have a beautiful body, just like every other girl in the world.
