Pop cultures heroines seem to be stick figures more often than not, leading our youth to believe they aren't skinny enough. I remember sitting in psychology and learning about a study that involved invading a secluded tribe in African and exposing the voluptuous women to American culture and media. This exposure to society's idolization of skinny women lead them to believe that they weren't beautiful as their culture had taught them. Because of pop culture's influence, these African women began to experience severe eating disorders. I was disgusted that these women had been influenced and harmed in such a way and that their long standing beliefs in their culture of fertility and curves had been shattered. So this is my quickie project. I'm bringing curvy back.
