Just Wear the Bikini

In the 20th Century:
Get a bikini body.

In the 21st Century:
Get a bikini.

For all the problems in the world today, there are so many things I love.

I love seeing women like Ashley Graham and Lizzo and Stephanie Hsu gracing magazine covers and the big screen.

I love it when celebrities like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato talk honestly about self-love and owning their right to have bodies that don’t fit Hollywood’s mold.

I remember how it used to be.

I remember my mother telling me it all went downhill after Twiggy. Had Marilyn Monroe remained the model for feminine beauty, everything would have been so different. (Until Kate Moss came along…)

Even though it’s still quite limited, I love that fashion is starting to try to design for real female bodies.

I love that there are swimsuit lines like Torrid and Venus that put real women in itty bitty bikinis.

And I shudder when I see that horrible phrase “bikini body” pop up on summer advertisements.

There’s only one way to get a bikini body…

And that’s to put a bikini on your body.

P.S. Take the body image test and take back your body confidence from all the naysayers that ever made you doubt yourself.
