Years ago my husband took me to a "date night" movie he knew I would love: the bumbling comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Every beautiful, luscious, sweet, enticing curve that makes me smile and ignites my longing when the beauty of a grand man crosses my path. Billboards aren't accentuating what to me are the irresistible curves of a grand person. (We've also been trained that "fat = funny.") You don't see beautiful, grand men and women falling in love in a way that's believable, honest and real. There are no grand leading actors outside of comedy. To my knowledge, there are no grand men (or women) who are celebrated for their beauty alone. they just aren't being showcased in the same positive light. These people are, without a doubt, beautiful. I have grown to appreciate the v-shaped torso of an athlete, the angular lines of an androgynous supermodel, the hourglass shape of a woman, and even the disaffected stare of models pretending not to be selling me something. Why wouldn't I? I have seen them photographed in the most flattering light. I've been trained well I see thin and fit people as beautiful.
