THIS IS NOT MODERN ART

Student conservator loves: old art, conservation, fakery, restoration, museum issues, forgers, etc.

Right, sometimes I really get tired of the fashion world. I’m tired of their labels and brainwashing. Please forgive the rant and unfollow if you would like but I refuse to apologize for this post.
I was just going through a forum about Mata Hari and they were discussing the above photo. I read through their comments and just sat there staring at my screen wondering what on Earth was wrong with these people? Fat? Overweight? WHAT?
It makes me very sad that anyone could look at this photo and the only comment that she is overweight.
So, she’s ugly because she isn’t a size zero? Why? Is she considered ugly because she isn’t an emaciated stick? I’m one of those sticks and when I look at her I am jealous.
I look at this woman and I see so many things and nothing about her is overweight. When I see her I see something that I would like to be.  As for her body, I think she is beautiful and perfect.


Beautiful woman, beautiful photo, beautiful words.
