Last night i saw a pretty good new show on fx, justified. And honestly my favorite thing about the show (other than the always perfectly gorgeous timothy olyphant) was, for sure, the main actress - and to be more specific - her legs.
They were normal legs! They were not hollywood sticks or shapely perfection. She had average legs, kind of thicker and short. It kind of make my day.
I am so over women belittling themselves, especially their legs. I am tired of my friends being afraid to wear, or even own, a bathing suit for fear that someone will see their body. And i am definitely done with hearing specifically from friends about how terrible their legs are, how fat their thighs are, and how unpresentable they are in anything shorter than pants.
Here's hoping that a cool tv show with a good-looking, normal woman with normal legs plus as much positivity we can send around the sisterhood of women things can change.
In an interview with Anne Lamott in last month's Body and Soul she completed the sentence 'if i could say anything to myself 20 years ago':
"The single least important thing in life is how your thighs look."
Hear hear!
