Thigh Gap..

The thigh gap! That gap of space between a woman's thighs when they don't touch from being so thin. An absurdity that was brought to my attention by my bestie. Why must society insist on putting a stigma on beauty? I was always taught that beauty was in the eye of the beholder. And with the world the way it is now, women are coming in all shapes, sizes, and colors and are very beautiful as an assortment. There is a model, Robyn Lawley... She's 6'2 and fabulous! A fellow long legg! She's considered in the modeling world as a plus size model. She was ridiculed for not having this thigh gap and she spoke out on it. I was very impressed by the way she stood up for herself and others who may be the same way. I would say that she gives hope to the females who aren't twigs that want to pursue a modeling career. The one thing I never understood about modeling is that in real life, no one is a perfect size 0, if that could be considered perfect. Even when you go shopping size 12 has become a lot harder to find than sizes 0-6. So would that change "the norm" or what society claims as beauty?? Once, only models were determined to make sure that their thighs didn't touch. Now it has become a widespread, harmful – and often unachievable – obsession... Failing to achieve a thigh gap is not a crime and it's really giving young impressionable girls who are already changing and feeling unsure and insecure the wrong damn idea!!!! Although this isn't new it's very ridiculous! And that's all I'm gonna say bout that... Stand TALL, be GREAT in all and ever GRATEFUL!
