I have a new hero, and her name is Margaux Laskey.
I could probably spend an entire day talking about how affected I was by this woman, but I really think that I can sum it all up in a few points.
- I love that this performance opens up discussion about body image, dieting, and eating disorders within families.
- I think it's great that Margaux addresses media and advertising in a humorous way. It doesn't sound bitter or martyr-ish.
- I love the imagery of the mannequins with bold numbers across the chest. It makes the topic of disordered eating more palpable.
- The symbolism of both the number 8 and the sizeate concept. Because exclusivity is so overated.
An event occurred today that reminded of how wonderful my life really is. I forget sometimes to be grateful for the people and things in my life that are good and true. It's days like today that motivate me to get better and be a positive light to others. It's days like today when I can't help but smile.
Sing it like you mean it
Make me believe it
Dream it like you own it
The party aint stoppin till we've outgrown it
