A Lexington Love Letter
Dear KEWL,
I’m all about a healthy public awareness campaign, I really am. Ask S.E.A.L. Just last term, I helped further their cause by dumping some of my own trash into the heap that, from an aerial view, looked like a giant zit on campus. And while I have no major problem with Love Your Body Week, and I think that the giant painted caslopus that stands behind Robinson is an artistic choice, I do have strong disdain for one execution in particular. The photograph of the young lady in front of the Library is so offensive to me, not because of what the poster says, but rather because her body is so obnoxiously tiny. If this is in fact Love Your Body Week, shouldn’t the poster outlines portray a normal sized woman and not one that is the equivalent of a stick figure on steroids? I was with you on this campaign, even the purple vagina, until I saw what itty bitty standards you were trying to hold women to. I hope in the future you will trace life size humans who eat three meals a day on your Love Your Body posters and not patronize those with full figures by tracing small children who have never seen a carb during daylight, evoking an impossible standard, and asking the rest of us to be comfortable in our skin.
Your’s Truly,
LATC
