I've never been into "looks", but I've felt proud of myself for who I am, and felt that I deserved the right to wear whatever I feel like, or to look however I chose, and to not be emotionally abused for it, or discriminated against because of it.  I  haven't really seen many pictures of fat women - photos of nude fat women, or photos of beautifully clothed fat women - just lame catalog modeling photos, or badly done personal photos.  I'm on DA to see what's out there.  

I find the naked photos to be inspiring in their courage to show what is normally shunned - and also find them beautiful and sensuous... proving that fat women can be seen in that light. Which is something I think is an important part of the re-education of the populace in terms of fat-acceptance and body awareness.   A lot of  fat-phobic people think it's ok for us to exist, as long as we keep covered up, and don't expect to ever be looked at naked without revulsion.  People need to see us as sexual beings, as objects of sexual desire, as real human beings who are sexy, and have every right to have lovers and be loved.

But I also thinks it's important to have images of beautifully clothed fat women on view.  We *are* people. We are "complicated" and multi-faceted.  We are individuals. (A lot of people can't tell fat people apart because they can't see beyond what frightens them.  Fat-phobia really is a fear.)  And the more people start to see images of beautiful fat women, the more they will start to recognize those same beautiful images out in the real world.  And then they will start to see the details – of our styles, our shapes, our faces, our voices, our minds, our personalities.

I think images like these are just one more step towards re-educating a society that has been brainwashed into fat-phobia and self-hatred  -  that these photos are beautiful, and their beauty cannot be ignored  -  that they are proof that beauty can come in a larger package.  And some people will have their eyes opened because of them.  

I want to be a part of this change. I have seen beauty in fat women, in the real world.  In all of them.  All were beautiful in different ways - yet so many people can't see it.  And I want to show the beauty I have seen.  I want to change people's perceptions, and make this world one where I can wear what I want, and be who I want, and so can everyone else.  I'm here to learn from all these positive images, until I can make my own - either by drawing or photography – and then I'll change my status from cheerleader to artist.  :D
It's taken me a while to get the words right. It's something I feel very passionate about, and I want to make sure I'm clear. So feel free to ask questions. :)

This is exactly how I feel, and especially about the clothed BBWs. Well said :)
