Reflecting Venus
I like seeing the paintings from over a hundred years ago, paintings of what was considered the most beautiful women; before fast food and tv and sedentary life styles...guess what?! They were not skinny! They had large hips, undefined stomachs, and...cellulite! This was the image of beauty for thousands of years, why did we have to change?

A lot of reinassance art shows women this way... and damn it, we are big or curvy... full of cellulite and not... small breasted/full breasted what have you... I wish that we could incorporate more art into the media, and see media as an art... which it really is... could you imagine reality t.v. with large women, and not a show about changing anyone, but a reality show that stresses the positives about being yourself, well darn... wouldn't that be too perfect?
