Amanda Jane is a 30-year-old writer, social media lover and pop-culture obsessed adult*. While she isn't working on her novel, she enjoys watching television shows, wondering about the YouTube business model for vloggers, movies and reading any books she can get her hands on. She might be made up of 20% coffee and 80% sarcasm.
*An adult when her parents are looking.
Margo Channing is a star of the theater. She made her first stage appearance at the age of four in Midsummer Night’s Dream. She played a fairy and entered, quite unexpectedly, stark naked. She has been a star ever since. Margo is a great star, a true star. She never was or will be anything less or anything else.
Bette Davis as Margo Channing in All About Eve (1950)
A plus sized girl finding genuine love for herself is not just some inspirational story.
It’s not “omg that poor fat girl can somehow love herself even with her burden of fatness”.
Please stop talking about fat women like their bodies are a tragedy and it’s so inspirational for them to be able to love their “horrible” body. Their bodies are beautiful. Every body is beautiful. No body is a tragedy.
I have moments today where I feel ready and calm for the new life that I’m entering into. Then I have mini moments of panic, stomach-turning, and anxiety. Then it goes back into calm.
I’m going to need my body to chill out now. Like, pick an emotion and let me hand that emotion body. That’s all I ask. For my sanity.
