Body Image & Being a Woman



Adriana Lima, Victoria's Secret model, describes what it takes to attain the body you see at VS Fashion Show. The routine includes two strenuous work-outs with a personal trainer every day, a diet specifically created for her by a nutritionalist with little or no fats and carbs, consuming only egg-powder-based protein shakes for 9 days before a show, and dehydrating her body (no liquids) the day before going on stage. Her literal full-time job is keeping up her appearance... and yet the VS Fashion Show "allegedly defines what the world perceives as the hottest-sexiest-most beautiful female form."

Fuck Off.

In her honor, I'll eat a bowl of ice cream while watching the VS show. And I will love by body more with every bite.

Her Pre runway diet seems insane!! Yet out of all the ladies that walk that show I think she honestly looks most healthy.

I just want a pair of those wings... and the million dollar bra Miranda Kerr will be rockin' down the stage.
