Tijelo bez cenzure: Strije i celulit u čast svim ženama

Celulit, strije, obješena koža normale su pojave kod većine žena. Zašto ih onda još uvijek gledamo kao mane? Upravo to pitanje postavljeno je u sklopu kampanje 'Love Your Lines', što u prijevodu znači 'voli svoje linije'

Kampanja pod nazivom 'Love Your Lines' u prvi plan stavlja strije - omražene pukotine na površini kože koje žene najčešće dobe nakon poroda ili tijekom odrastanja, a zbog kojih im često pada samopouzdanje.

'I spent the days leading up to vacation trying to decide if I'd wear a two piece. My decision is apparent, but my reasoning is simple - I earned every stripe adorning my body. It's a pity that having a child is a direct cause for self image issues, as opposed to being cause for an ongoing celebration. I had stretch marks before my daughter. I have more after having her. I was a divine vessel before having my daughter, & that hasn't changed now that she's here. If anything, it only affirms what is. Loving my body is a direct insult to anything that would have me think otherwise.' submission by: @bhargette

Ovu priču brzo su prihvatile brojne korisnice Instagrama te su svoje tijelo prošarano omraženim strijama odlučile pokazati u najboljem i najprirodnijem svjetlu i to u obliku crno-bijelih fotografija iz svakodnevnog života koje veličaju žensko tijelo sa svim svojim manama i vrlinama.

"Even 16 months after giving birth to my beautiful daughter, my body still carries proof of her existence. I still have my tiger stripes- I know I may not be societies definition of "perfect" or "beautiful" but I disagree, I know I am beautiful. What makes me beautiful is that at one point in time my body was my daughter's home. "It's where I first grew to love her, where I would lay my hand as I dreamed of who she was going to be and it held her until my arms could, and for that I will always find something beautiful in it." My tiger stripes are proof I created something beautiful, and so perfect. How could I not be proud of that?"

Kampanji u kojoj se ističe prava žena, pravo tijelo i prava ljepota danas broji više od 135 tisuća sljedbenica, a svoje je fotografije je priložilo gotovo 500 žena.

Svaka fotografija iza sebe ima životnu prču koja bi trebala pročitati svaka žena koja skriva svoje tijelo zbog strija.

"I'm from Venezuela. I feel so happy now that I can see that I'm not alone in this. I have felt embarrassed for so many years and this page makes me feel more comfortable with my body!"
