I just want to be skinny enough to look good in Brandy Melville clothes

Honey, Brandy Melville’s “one size fits most” is bullshit.  You can find much cuter clothing in a thousand other places made of better material.  You don’t need to fit into a company’s clothes to feel good about yourself, you don’t need to play their marketing game, it’s unhealthy, and so are the tags you attached to this.  Work towards a healthy, realistic goal that is not dictated by anyone else’s standards but your own.

Today I went to Forever 21 and played the How to Destroy a Girl’s Self-Esteem in Under Seven Dresses game.

There are so many girls crying on Tumblr about their lack of a gap between their thighs, but I just read a book where the narrator was struggling not to think about the way an attractive girl’s thighs rubbed when she walked.  It just reaffirmed to me that girls are more toxic to each other about body image than men.

Hookay, I’m reblogging this because I know I have a lot of female followers, and I used to really struggle with the fact I had cellulite (for as long as I can remember) and I can’t stand the thought of other girls/ladies still being deluded because of tards like this ^. Firstly, it has nothing to do with age, it is entirely normal and entirely healthy, if more woman with it were as bikini active as Scarlet, you’d see that a massive percentage, if not most, of the women have varying degrees of this ‘problem’. Cellulite isn’t a scientific term, it’s a word invented by beauty product companies to sell their useless creams and scrubs or what have you. It’s like trying to peddle a treatment for people who have dimples when they smile, or freckles, moles or cleft chins. Some people have those things, some don’t, but it’s just how the human body works. What has been dubbed ‘cellulite’ is just the fat cells in your butt and legs (and omg fat cells are not a bad thing, they keep your warm and snuggly) peeping through the beehive style netting under your skin, which can be a beautiful thought if you rinse your brain out of trashy magazines. Loving a woman with cellulite and thinking she’s sexy isn’t nobel prize material so much as the equivolent of loving a dude with chest hair. This is how you were designed, it’s not wrong or unattractive or bad, just embrace your loverly unique body for all it’s moles and kinks and curves! K!

I didn’t even notice the cellulite for a few moments, I was trying to figure out what the heck the “author” was talking about.

What’s even worse is the comments left on the bottom of that article.  Actually some of them are (sort of?) encouraging, a number of the commenters said they’d still “bang her fat ass”.

And Yasahime is right, cellulite has nothing to do with age.  I live in a beach town, everyone walks around in swimsuits all year at all times of the day.  I’ve seen plenty of teenage girls with cellulite, some of them as young as fourteen.

This author has no idea what he’s talking about, so I’m just going to be the one to suggest he hasn’t been with very many women.  Or been around women.  Or been to a beach.
