So last nigh I was doing some late night internet browsing (like you do), when I came across one article that I was particularly drawn to. I opened up the link to find it was actually a video. Still intrigued by the title, I decided to watch it. Here’s where I should point out that the video in question was Meet Casey Legler – the world’s first female male model. Intriguing no? I urge you to watch the short video. So anyway, after watching it, I wasn’t just amazed but also inspired.
I often speak of accepting what you have and embracing who you are and this woman seems to epitomise that. It’s not just about what she does or how she is but about how she has accepted her differences and utilised her strengths (those of which I think are pretty awesome by the way). Anyway the point I am getting at is that we are all different, we are all unique and we should embrace that. We should embrace what makes us different, dare to stand out and learn to love our unique features and qualities. I shan’t waffle on too much, in fear of sounding all preachy preachy but I think it’s important to remember that what makes us different is also what can make us great. So go out there, be fabulous and do your thing!

Its nice to see that people are getting accepted in an industry that is known to be ruthless over its criteria, for what should be the normative standard and ideal which humanity should strive for – in terms of Beauty/Fashion.
This piece kinda reminds me of the StyleLikeU youtube videos – ‘The What’s Underneath Project’ its a bit controversial but the general premise can be seen as a noble one … I guess.
I agree with you people should celebrate their individuality and not be underpinned by what others label them to be or what they have led themselves to believe are negatives. Life’s too short.
Wise words! It’s so true, life it too short, we need to spread the love, self acceptance is key… I’ll have to check out those Youtube video too. 😀
