A few months ago, I found a little statue of a woman at TJ Maxx. I felt drawn to it and eventually bought it. I joked that I thought she looked like me--long hair, small chest, big belly, and thunder thighs. I set it on top of my dresser, and I pass it every time I leave my bedroom, and I see it from every angle in the room. I look at her often, and think about how beautiful she is each time. After that, I remind myself that she looks like me. I look like her. I think I am beautiful.
LMAO what the frick.
for me I really started to love my body when I saw the Venus of Willendorf statue after I had my baby. That's my body and I want to celebrate it <3
this is the venus of willendorf statue btw 
I bought myself a copy of The Sleeping Lady of Malta, and a life-size copy of the Venus of Willendorf. The Venus is only about 3 inches tall, and she can't stand because, like the original, she has no feet, so she lives in my jewellery box with other precious things. The Sleeping Lady is just beautiful-whoever carved her all those millennia ago knew exactly how a female body was put together and how larger bodies moved. It's a very intimate pose-she's fast asleep, lying on her side, with one hand tucked up on her pillow and the other casually resting on it-she has rounded, thick arms and delicate, dainty wrists. Its a feminine, graceful piece of art.
another reminder this is the venus of willendorf 
I hope it's the Venus statue lol. my favorite piece of ancient art
again, these women think looking like this is okay

I dunno, I just think it's neat. Pleasing lines and stuff. Its age is part of why I think that, because I'd have no chance of learning to draw or sculpt without being taught it and having examples to work off of. The age of it (I'm still assuming it's really old) gives me the feeling that it was spontaneously generated even though that's probably not true.

It's around 5000 years old from the late neolithic period on Malta. However, I don't like mainstream archaeological delineations, and I don't believe it's reasonable to say Malta was still in the neolithic 5000 years ago. Mediterranean island cultures lagged about 200-400 years behind near eastern ones developmentally, not over 1000 years.
Autism aside, it's an impressive piece of art for its time.

They had My 600 Pound Life in "ancient times"
It is an interesting sculpture I agree. The guy who made it was definitely a fat coomer fetishist though. Mental illness is documented so far back
