I love this! It’s so rare we get to see what actual people look like, and to have them photographed professionally and beautifully is great. For some reason we only get access to fake, photoshopped and extremely well cultivated physiques to consume. I love seeing real people. I’m tired of looking at paper dolls and plastic sculptures that mock the human form

Theyre all so gorgeous and the courage to just show it like this makes me envy them! Stunning pictures, i love it

All of these people are stunning and I’m quite jealous 😊

Never be ashamed.

what? No "oh this post is glorifying obesity" comments? Wow, this is a good day, Panda. And the strengths of these people are basically what made them beautiful!

Whoever chose the colors of swimsuits and lipstick, etc. did a fantastic job. The colors are really great. My father has a terrible scar on his back from accidentally pulling a boiling teakettle of water down on himself when he was a toddler. He has a tattoo over it and said the tattoo was extra painful. He's 82 now but that scar of course, remains from childhood. I like what Padma Lakshmi does with her scar on her arm. It's called Kintsugi.

I dont see anything wrong with any of these stunning people.

...I wish they could have included the stories of these people.

Beautiful people, beautiful smiles and courageous too!

It would be more powerful if I knew the stories behind the photo's. But, maybe leaving the stories out is part of the exercise here.

Here is a QUESTION. Do you think that we as a society will ever overcome the ridiculous sense of idealized, impossible to achieve false perfection?

Beautiful! My heart aches for the pain they've endured but they are all beautiful!

They are all so beautiful and unique in their own special ways. How can they keep smiling after all of the pain they've endured eludes me.

While I also would like to know, I do think that not knowing their stories is actually more powerful for the cause. People are more often than not judged based on their looks alone, with no time to nor interest in knowing their stories. A lot of people wouldn't judge them as harshly if they knew their stories, and that's the point - they shouldn't need to know that to treat them well. Their looks alone shouldn't be a reason to treat someone badly. Some people don't have dramatic stories - they were just born not so aesthetically pleasant - and they still shouldn't be treated badly for it.

Yours scars are a timeline of all the pain you have endured, and prove how strong you are!

blind people still don't care
