Elegance


How do you term beauty? In this century, where one side says you have to be a certain height, have a certain body figure, and have a certain look to be beautiful, and on the other side, what ever you are is enough, even if your over 300 pounds. But what does beauty really mean? Let us look at nature in the African desert. Look at the gazelles, limbre elegant things, that leap among the plains of nature, with slim bodies, as nature gave them. And now let us look at the elephants, huge lumbering things, slowly moving, grazing around the land that they walk on. How can you compare beauty between these two things? You can't say the beauty of the gazelle is the same as the elephant.

A gazelle is a gazelle, and will always have its slim elegant body shape. An elephant is always an elephant, and will never have the slim body shape as it's smaller counterpart. They both have their own positive attributes, and their individual beauty just can't be compared in the same field.

Why am I talking about gazelles and elephants? This is all due to a recent news report on fat models, and how they are also beautiful. I mean, sure, they are beautiful as people as well. But in terms of fashion, and I just can't seem to categorise slim models and fat models in the same field. Can you imagine seeing layers of fat bouncing down on the runway? Let models be models, and let fat people be fat. Everyone has their own beauty, and each has their own responsibility over their own body.

I am talking too much... just enjoy the photos

LOL @ "Let models be models, and let fat people be fat."


i think the aesthetic quality of an image goes beyond a 'beautiful' subject.

haha well i don't think it has to do with aesthetic quality. It was just the recent interest of some of the public for fat models, and for me... i just don't dig it, though i have nothing against fat people... heck i think i'm even beginning to go to that side myself
