Thanks for this, Leanne. I remember Anne’s words about loving our bodies and treasuring them—she wrote that she calls her thighs “the aunties”. She puts expensive lotion on them and treats them gently. I always think about that when I get out of the shower and start to get really judgmental about what I see in the mirror.
I have done a lot of work to break the lens through which I view myself (and other women!) but there is still so much to do. It really helps to keep the discussion going.
What do you think about Pamela Anderson’s decision to stop wearing makeup? I find it incredibly brave for a woman like her; society would have her believe that her importance, her talent, her loveability comes from her sex appeal. I love that she is flipping a figurative middle finger to all of it.
