Nobody wants to marry a fat girl!Why would anyone want a woman that has a few extra pounds,looks real,and actually loves herself?
In these days we live in a society of hypocrisy.A society that tells us we must look like a size 0 opposed to a womans normal average size,a size 12.In this photograph on your eft taken by E.J. Bellocq (1873-1949),documentary,landscape,and photojournalist,Bellocq is grasping the fine art of a real women.Ive always been a fan of Bellocq's work eventhough many,nor i knew much about the man except that he was an unexceptional commercial photographer who lived in New Orleans.I always admired the fact that his photographs were not only plain and simple however got to the point.He photographs many "real" women one would say.Such as women doing household chores no matter what the color or size.
Me,myself not being of average shape can admire artists such as Bellocq.However,this photograph simply connected with me and to be quite frank i have this exact photograph in my bathroom.This photograph was taken in 1912 from the "storyville portraits"which was a variety of portraits of real women doing real everyday chores.This picture in particular connects with me in a way that no photograph really ever has.Not only is this woman beautiful and in my eyes has a wonderful body,she isnt a size 0.Artists like Bellocq no longer exist because our society has brainwashed us that it is not normal to have curves or look like a real human being,no now one must look like the celebrities one sees everyday on the "idiot box",opps i mean that box we call the television set.Everyday women are struggling with there weight and when people discover artists like this,some may think its politically incorrect,however i think there politically incorrect.Women are beautiful in everyway and in this photograph he is capturing the true nature of a woman,just a plain jane,however with killer curves and just being herself for the camera.Not only is that sexy she has extra weight around her mid section while she does it.
