Sensational normality: the new Pirelli calendar does not supermodels, but women who shame their critics.
Sometimes pictures say more than words. And sometimes saying words everything there is to say. Serena Williams commented in September in an TV interview to those people who are trying to convince her because of her muscular body self-doubt. Body Shaming is this psychological weapon in English aptly. Williams, current number one tennis world rankings, so said. “I do not have time to let down drag me I have to do too many things, you know I have Grand Slams to win I have to inspire people why I’m… here “
In the Tennis-language one would say. It was a massive, unattainable for the opponent smash. In this respect, the Pirelli Calendar Journal of Serena Williams is really just an artificial impact. He leads the already defeated opponents before again Williams’ superiority. On the black and white image, staged by the New York star photographer Annie Leibovitz, the 34-year-old is only available with a slip dressed in front of a wall, in the lunge position, hands she pushed against the wall.
It’s a Kunstpose that make the muscles of the athlete stand out at the back and legs. There is a commitment to one’s own body. And it is a message to all the people who want to deny her any femininity, namely: the outstretched middle finger. You do not get along with my body? Not my problem! Loser
About the collar of lace panties, three belly rings bulge
As I said. For himself, Serena Williams would no longer have to make this photo. But it is good that it has done – for all women who are less confident regarding their own bodies, which can be unsettling comments, whether they come from the partners, in the best friend, or the voice own head. The omnipresent pictures of so-called “supermodels” take on advertising walls and in magazines as benchmarks for their own bodies. For all these women, it may not be enough as the images of Serena Williams or Amy Schumer.
Schumer, American comedian, actress and feminist, posed for Annie Leibovitz on a bar stool. She sits there, how to just sitting on a bar stool: The legs slightly apart, for balance in his hand a cup of coffee, to go. It could be a common sight on the set of the latest film Schumer, the 34-year-old would be more than a dressed panties and stilettos. About the Federation of lace briefs bulge three belly rings. So normal, so extraordinary. Because Schumer just not sitting there like that would probably do every model on a nude shoot – back straight, stomach in, chest out
Also, Schumer was attacked in the past for her body.. On Twitter she comments her calendar sheet with words that ascription may be as self-criticism – it’s just too human, sometimes to be himself the greatest enemy. “Beautiful, nasty, thick, thin, fat, handsome, ugly, sexy, disgusting, spotless woman,” writes Schumer. The message is as clear as in Williams: Shame on you never your body
Annie Leibovitz has already proven
Since it does not matter that the photographs are purely artistic rather unspectacular! : classic Leibovitz portraits of prominent women who are most attracted. Leibovitz has just also been demonstrated as a photographer and can stand confidently in the service of a good cause in this order. To show how different and how beautiful women can be, beyond Photoshop. An approach that is uncommon less for Leibovitz as for the Pirelli calendar,
is displayed in the normally flawless erotic. Maybe the photos wearing indeed help to ensure that women can eventually take care of other things than the defense of their bodies. That is why, for example, Grand Slams to win.
