Kailee O'Sullivan in Glamour

Ladies and gentleman, this is Kailee O'Sullivan and she's just about the sexiest thing I've seen in a long time. This month's Glamour has a body positive special on all shapes and sizes and Kailee is the prerequisite curvaceous girl. While I am usually leery of these sorts of articles as they tend to be sandwiched in-between 10 other articles on how to starve yourself into submission I genuinely enjoyed this piece. It wasn't about praising one shape over another it was about embracing your perceived flaws and thinking outside our preconceived notions on beauty. There was also a nice bit on things you should never say about your body. Its very easy to succumb to negativity about our physical appearance and I know I have been guilty of saying a few of these things about myself at one point or another. Its important to realize that telling ourselves these is counterproductive and quite frankly ridiculous. There were of course a few things we ought to tell ourselves more often as well.

It was also interesting to see what the women pictured in the article saw/had been told were their flaws. From Stefi Graff talking about how she felt pressure to get a nose job to Yu-jin Kim saying she would rather be seen as strong than thin I felt it was quite insightful. It just goes to show that they way in which we view ourselves and the way in which the world views us can be so different.
