Eyeshadow and smiles all around :)
This year I learned that I’m fat. Same thing I learned last year and the year before and the year before and ect. ect. The only difference is that this year I said, “Yes, and?” Same thing I did last year and the year before and… oh wait.
Seriously though this year I learned that my “yes, and” sass inspires people, and I think that’s pretty neat, because honestly, telling me I’m fat just means that you’re only capable of pointing out the obvious and not capable of even attempting to be the kind of human being who can actually talk to people and appreciate who they are instead of zeroing in on the size of their stomachs. You’re not capable of understanding that someone’s waist size is not a hindrance to their character. And frankly, if you’re put off by someone you don’t even know because they’re bigger than you then you’re the one with problem. Same thing goes for everything that makes us different, because its those differences that make this world an interesting place to live in.
Diversity is beautiful. Don’t hate on people who are able to smile and love themselves, because in this judgmental world, smiles are the bright spot that we need. If you have nothing better to do than to tarnish someone’s smile, then that’s the true definition of the word “sad.”
Person: Fat people are just lazy, they need to get out and do something.
Fat Person: *gets out and does all of the things*
Person: Ugh you’re so fat you need to stay inside so we don’t have to see this shit.
Fat Person: ………..
See. This. This is why it’s not worth stressing about.
So you know the drill, smile on the count of three: 1… 2… 3!
More pictures, because I think I want to try and take pictures like this once a week, cosplay or not :) All this stuff was stuff I already had in my house, like I literally found the red hat in a box in the basement ^__^
Photo series called: Red. Curls Stripes. Smile.
Let’s create a couple of scenarios.
Let’s say I decided to cosplay Catwoman. Someone might tell me, “You’re too fat to cosplay her” or “fat cat.”
All right, fine. Let’s say one of the women I follow, who is skinny, says they want to cosplay Catwoman. Except their black. Someone might tell them, “Catwoman isn’t black” or “Check it out, ghetto Catwoman.”
All right. Fine. Let’s say that another woman I follow, who is skinny, and white, says that they want to cosplay Catwoman. Someone might tell them, “That cosplay is too slutty” or “attention whore.”
This right here is why there’s no point in stressing about such negative comments. Same character in each scenario, only different levels of negativity. This is why, my number one advice, is to smile and cosplay who you want
So here’s a smile from me to you
***
Bonus scenario: So then you may start to envy the male cosplayers of the world, thinking that they must have it so easy. Then you see a picture of a male cosplayer with a caption like, “He tried, I guess?” Or even see statements like, “Male cosplay is so boring” “Superman really let himself go, huh?” “What’s up with this Wolverine?”
So, everyone? Smile, on the count of three: 1. 2. 3!(also special thanks to Nude Carbon Studios for the Tiana pic!)
Have you smiled this morning?
