Body positivity: not just for fat people

Yesterday I got an urgent call from a Seven Sharp producer asking me to come on the show to talk about gorgeous model Tess Holliday and to give some advice to two women who had entered a beauty pageant. Despite being on vacation with my family, I said I’d love to  – because I think that any occasion to speak to the general masses about the importance of body positivity and versatility in the media is extremely important. They found a cameraman and a place for me to do a live cross, while I went home to wash my hair (because really, who wants to go on TV with greasy hair?) and answer a list of questions to help guide the interviewer.

Real women have curves

One thing that’s been really getting me down lately is how often I see people putting down one body type in order to raise another up. Comments like “real women have curves”, are commonly said with the intention of celebration more voluptuous women with fuller figures, however they imply that women with smaller body types are somehow lesser. Seeing as there is so much conversation about beauty standards, body positivity and body shaming lately, I thought this might be a good point to add into that discussion.

You can tell who the strong women are. They are the ones you see building one another up instead of tearing each other down. View Post

Grace

I get super excited about meeting my blog readers, and after talking to Grace on Facebook I was thrilled when she told me that she was willing to step in front of my camera. She’s so friendly and bubbly in real life, that the moment I met her I felt like we had known each other for ages. I love having that kind of connection!

What is your favourite place to shop?
I prefer to make most of my own clothing and if not, then I like to op shop for the rest. I find the cut and the silhouettes of the clothing way more flattering – plus it’s generally cheaper, you’re recycling and sometimes supporting non profit organisations who provide great community services so it’s a win, win, win!
