Tyra Banks’ “So What!” Campaign is such a great movement to set forward. There are so many people out there that have such low self-esteem about themselves. Sometimes, largely due to fitting into the image of what other folks “think” that they should be. Why should that matter???
Tyra Banks often states throughout her ongoing campaign:
“Every woman has something in her life she has to fight to overcome…whether it’s a body issue, a relationship crisis, an emotional challenge or a fashion emergency! Rather than wallowing in the negative, why not embrace the positive?”
I can understand wanting to fit into the morals and beliefs of the society insofar as being good in the sense of being non-criminalistic; however, being “good” doesn’t have to mean that you fit into a size 5 outfit when you are a size 26. Some expectations are not real or reasonable. Insolong as your size 26 isn’t posing any health risks, why care if the typical modeling look is a size 5? Is a size 5 even happy about their lives? Isn’t it more important to be happy and enjoy your life???
Relationships aren’t built solely on the outside packaging. They are built upon what a person sees in the other’s soul, personality, nature, emotions, etc. Those who build their relationships that they surround themselves with (either on a organizational or personal level) purely upon the outside packaging, they are indeed missing out on the relationships that are built upon common interests, personalities, emotions, etc. that add to the reason for living on this grand earth we call home.
Life is limited to what we know of it as we exist in the past, present and future. Why waste the time on earth without getting to know our neighbors and friends and build lasting relationships???
Not sure that I would, at my size, want to be pictured in a red swimsuit with the number of my weight on my chest; but, I do wish that there would be far less judgemental people in our world and base their opinions of others for who they are and not who they should be in their eyes! I am beautiful i my own right; hear me roar!! lol….

Hi! I like your post!
I linked this in my blog entry about Tyra’s campaign, I hope you don’t mind…
Though mine’s written in Filipino, hopefully, the good vibes will get the message across.

Hi Tyra!
I/m not sure i should really send Tyra a mail here but ive googled for long and i cant seem to get any address.Hope she gets it.
Im Gladys,24 years of age form Kenya,East Africa, im sure every one knows the country coz of the Post Violence Chaos that occurred in Dececemebr and early this year. My country is back to normal, thank God.
I watch your show though we watch episodes from way way back,lemmie explain. For anyone to watch current discussions on the show,one has to be DSTV connected.Well 90-95% of Kenyans cant afford to subscribe for DSTV.All the same,i watch the show in one of our local TV stations and that’s what’s important.
Yesterday. i watched your show on breasts and me……n……that’s the best show ever coz it touched on me. I have a small fallen bust which bothers me as in undressing infront of a guy.I use the bra trick though and when im dressed,it doesnt bother me. Surgery is a no-no for me plus halo,that’s a luxury i cant afford.All the same,i watched the show and i was like “So what” to hell with my fallen boobs.I’m embracing it girl and when i meet up with my boyfriend,i’ll be cool.
Big-ups on the test you took,that was brave of you.
I couldnt get the size calculation though,below the breasts,im 28 and the around the boobs 34.What do we call a 6????????
Thanks and i prefer if you write back because it will take forever if i have to see you read the mail in your show.
Thanks again.
