How not to look good naked
Wednesday, 14 October 2009
As a self-confessed hysteric, I am avid fan of Gok's excellent "How to Look Good Naked." Women of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to feel great about their bodies and eventually to parade naked on catwalk in front of thousands of people. Last night, I cursed myself for only remembering to watch it half way through, but true to form, I was crying like a beauty pageant queen by the time to the finale came.
And today I had to phsically restrain myself from clapping and whooping like a Barbie Doll (okay, so they don't whoop, but if they did...) when the computer lady showed me what was inside our desktop. "OMG" I heard myself say, "I thought it was just a magic box, that's sooo clever." Lobotomy anyone lol?

Yes, I like the way he's so positive about women's shapes, whatever they happen to be. Big arse? Absolutely perfect. Small breasts? Divine, darling, divine. A refreshing antidote to all those programmes advocating stringent diets, plastic surgery etc. Not to mention how absolutely gorgeous he is....

Isn't it totally sad that we need this kind of TV programme to validate our own bodies?
Photoshop has been one of the worst inventions ever.
I have a scar down the front of my abdomen (no belly button, gone)and one time as my partner kissed it, he said: "I thank this scar for saving your life."
it got me looking at my body in a totally different way.
We all need to do that.

But when you see inside and it's just tiny bits and wires and stuff and it's got a much better memory than i have!
No, sorry, nobody could presuade me to strut naked!
