Saturday Straight Talk: Why I Want To See Rebel Wilson, Melissa McCarthy, And Other Plus Size Stars Naked!

    Earlier in the week, I posted an article about Taryn Brumfitt who posted pictures of her realistic post-baby body to the applause of the world. I applauded with the rest of the world, but it got me thinking. Why is it so shocking of us to see a regular woman's body? More so, what about women who are a little curvier than most? The world rarely sees women that are full figured sans clothing, and, when they are, there is often a comedic element that goes along with it.

     I say that's not acceptable. With all the beautiful big girls in the world,there needs to be more representation of their bodies. Personally, I would like to see plus size stars like Melissa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson, and others should show their full glory in films so bigger girls out there know that their bodies are beautiful and nothing to be ashamed of. Also, it would be nice to see them in natural sexual situations that anybody would be in, instead of being used as a joke, to show that plus size individuals are beautiful and have natural, gorgeous sexualities like anybody else.
       After all, there are a large number of girls in America that suffer from body image issues, and they have no one to represent them. These girls often suffer from depression, eating disorders, and body image issues from the sizeism that exist in our world. When plus size stars strip down and bare all it will give these girls someone to relate to, and it will help fight the epidemic of sizeism in our society. All bodies are beautiful, and those who may be a little curvier than most need to know that there bodies are beautiful as well. If anyone has a problem with this, I say,  in the words of Joy Behar, "so what, who cares". Just because something may make you uncomfortable doesn't mean you should hold back plus size people from showing their beautiful, curvy figures to the world.
        So, going forward, I hope that we see more body types represented in film when it comes to nude scenes. I know you may think that this is wishful thinking, but I find that change starts with the individual. So, let every movie studio out there know that you want to see beautiful, full figured women represented as the beautiful, sexual beings that they are, and, who knows, we may just make some change in Hollywood. In doing so, we may even make a change in the world and let every plus size girl out there know that they are beautiful no matter what anyone else says. And that's today's "Saturday Straight Talk".
