So Beautiful, Adipositivity

Adipose: Of or relating to fat.

Positivity: Characterized by or displaying acceptance or affirmation.

The hope is to widen definitions of physical beauty. Literally

Literally... this is the most amazing website advocating for women of size I have ever seen. It was really organized in a manner that really shared the beauty behind what a lot of our society doesn't see, beauty,authenticity, strength and truth. I love this site, and favorited it right away. It reminds me of one of my dreams in life, to be a nude model (at least once in my life) for a life drawing class. Sites like this bring inspiration to me and really share a strength/courage that many people fear. Physical beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, and I think that this site definitely shares that.
I went to a women's leadership conference this past friday in portland, and one of the sessions I listened to was about reclaiming the "F" word, "Fat" especially on college campuses, and with sites like this I think, we definitely as a community could be inspired to make the change to acceptance of all forms, that in fact are beauty.
