Thank You, Ms. Lizzie MIller


Confident, attractive, happy. Nothing describes her better.
Thank you, Ms. Miller.
OK, I know I'm more than belated on getting this out. I was just doing some research and saw it again.

The stark contrast between her photo and other common low-weight models is that she looks happy and doesn't have this look of self-justified entitled confidence. She appears sure of herself. And that, as many studies will ensure me, is more attractive than some contrived, societal given label of worth.

Like the mona lisa, in as far as enormity of social comparisons, (i know, it's a micro-scale comparison) Lizzie Miller has given women much to contemplate about themselves. To Appeal to other women? Or, to appeal to what men truly find attractive. I believe that's the dilemma. A social v. self scenario that has manifested in the form of indignation v. intelligence.

look at her thighs. look at her neck. her abdomen. then look at her genuine smile. her whole body. her healthy skin. her soft hips.

the difference is adjectives. and the adjectives give emotion, feeling.
thank you, Ms. Miller for being a conduit of emotion. Something so genuine and unfamiliar. That's unfortunate.

But may we consider ourselves fortunate, as we are all imperfect, and within that share the extraordinary, prevalent nature of self-worth. being defined only to ones self (and objective influences). as Ms. Miller is to my dream of confident, attractive, happy women everywhere I am hopeful my enthusiasm of realistic feminine ideals spreads equally and generously.
