silvarbelle: villenoire: ndcpalmer: some-bitch-just: nemomeimpune-lacessit: The Nu Project’s Nude Photos Tell The Truth About Women’s Bodies The Nu Project is a no-glamor honest look at beauty and image in our world. Female nudity isn’t hard to come by in the media, but the bodies we see usually represent a fairly limited scope of sizes and shapes. The Nu Project, a collection of nude photographs shot by Minneapolis photographer Matt Blum, seeks to add some variety to the mix. Blum started The Nu Project in 2005 but said it really took off when his wife, Katy Kessler, became the project’s editor. Blum sees the photos as filling a void. “When I started shooting nudes there was no project like it,” he told The Huffington Post in an email. The things that I had seen either used models with typical model bodies or average people who were made to look extremely unimpressive. I figured there was a way to treat women (of any size/shape) like models and photograph them beautifully, respectfully without a lot of sexual under or overtones. The women photographed are all volunteers, and most of the pictures are taken in the subjects’ homes — where they feel most comfortable. The Nu Project’s website showcases six galleries of nudes, three shot in North America, three in South America. Although Blum told HuffPost that he feels that they have a “good variety of people involved,” he and Kessler acknowledge on The Nu Project website that they’d love for the subjects to be more diverse. “The hardest part for us is that the project is 100 percent volunteer, so I do not see the women until I show up at their door,” Blum writes on the website. “We’re doing our best to encourage all types of women, but we need volunteers of all backgrounds and walks of life to make the project more complete.” Blum said he ultimately hopes that these images inspire the women who see them to feel better about their own bodies. “It’s been really exciting to hear people react to the images,” he told HuffPost. “We get a lot of feedback from women (especially) who have struggled to see themselves as beautiful, and this project has helped them on that path.” http://thenuproject.com/ this is gorgeous.  perfect Beautiful. I looked through the galleries and I’m amazed at how beautiful and perfect these women are.  =D What I like about Nu Project’s FAQ is that they say, right up front, that they don’t have ENOUGH diversity and would love to have transgender women, women of color, women of ALL TYPES - but the women have to want to do this because it’s 100% volunteer. What I’m hoping is we’ll see a male version of this because there ARE MEN who think they’re not good enough because of how they look. No one should ever be made to think they’re not good enough simply because of how they look.

The Nu Project’s Nude Photos Tell The Truth About Women’s Bodies

this is gorgeous.

Beautiful.

I looked through the galleries and I’m amazed at how beautiful and perfect these women are.  =D

What I like about Nu Project’s FAQ is that they say, right up front, that they don’t have ENOUGH diversity and would love to have transgender women, women of color, women of ALL TYPES - but the women have to want to do this because it’s 100% volunteer.

What I’m hoping is we’ll see a male version of this because there ARE MEN who think they’re not good enough because of how they look.

No one should ever be made to think they’re not good enough simply because of how they look.

sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who doesn’t get weddings

it’s like ‘hey so we both agree that spending the rest of our lives together would be rad’

‘you know what would make it even radder?’

‘no, what?’

‘let’s send ourselves and our families broke by throwing a stonking great fairytale party like hugely irresponsible children’

‘cool’

Good thing I just plan to throw a big extended family reunion at a park with a potluck lunch. If I wasn’t my mother’s only daughter, I’d make my wedding dress out of tshirts, but she really wants to take me shopping for one.

Angelina Jolie Undergoes Mastectomy To Avoid Breast Cancer; Losers Mourn Her Boobs, Send Brad Pitt Condolences

publicshaming:

In a piece for the New York Times, Angelina Jolie revealed she underwent a preventative double mastectomy. I’m not going to summarize it here because you should hear it coming from her. If you haven’t yet read it, you really should read it right now here.

Angelina Jolie shared a personal story in hopes of raising awareness on a number of issues, from the surgery itself to the affordability of the gene test…

…wait. what’s that coming just over those hills? Why, it’s the sexists and misogynists! Because you see WOMEN’S HEALTH is not about the WOMAN, people! It’s about the poor menz who are now ‘stuck’ with their (as in ownership of, don’t your forget it!) woman!

image

image

(Throw in a dash of racism with your misogyny? Hell, why not!)

image

image

image

image

Everyone couldn’t be the first to think of “poor Brad Pitt” like Josh above, but man did the tweets thinking of “poor Brad Pitt” keep coming… 

image

…and coming…

imageimage

…and coming.

imageimage

“He lost *his* ‘tittays’.” Poor Brad Pitt lost something he apparently owned, Angelina Jolie’s breasts themselves! And, yes, people (i.e. virgins) mourned her boobs themselves as if Angelina Jolie was some sort of villain who had some diabolical reason behind doing this.

image

image

image

image

image

image

“I bet he wished he stayed with Jen now.” Oh, boy. You mean to tell me some losers used lower her risk for breast cancer as a way to attack Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston?, you ask. No, I mean to tell you that MANY losers used lowering her risk for breast cancer as a way to attack Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston. (And if you assumed there would be “karma” tweets, you assumed correctly!)

image

image

image

image

image

image

Here’s a slew of folks who think Angelina Jolie removed her breasts because she’s an “attention whore”! Because nothing says good publicity in Hollywood like already being a sex icon and then going ahead and having your breasts removed…

image

image

image

image

image

If none of the winners above quite did it for you, here’s a mish-mash of really smart people. Just replace “smart” with “dumb, thank you…

image

Yeah, Angelina. I can’t believe you didn’t even TAKE THE RISK OF CANCER just so Brad Pitt can enjoy your (which he owns, don’t forget) boobs while having sex. Because, don’t forget girls, you’re just sexual play toys for men and nothing more!

image

Too bad you got the story completely wrong. I call you a douchebag.

image

Yes, because without breasts, there are absolutely no good reasons whatsoever for a guy to stay with their significant other…

image

Yup. You hear that, ladies? Without your boobs / bewbz / tits / tittys / rack / fun bags / whatever other dumb terms these fine people use for a woman’s breasts…you are apparently pointless.

Except, you’re not. Screw these haters who’ve probably never seen a bare breast in their life. And good for you, Angelina. It’s your life and your body, no one else’s.
