Somekaunotar alastomana – rehelliset poseeraukset paljastavat somekuvien illuusion

Viihdeuutiset · Stara.fi

Sosiaaalisessa mediassa on viime vuosina nähty monia tapauksia, joissa upeita bikinikuvia itsestään julkaisseet kaunottaret ovat paljastaneet totuuden silmiähivelevien kuviensa taustalta. Nyt doulana työskentelevä Chessie King on noussut sometähdeksi rehellisillä kuvillaan sosiaalisen median poseerauskuvien illuusion.

3 years ago, my newsfeed was a sea of perfection … & I was not just swimming in it, I was a shark. I was a shark scaring people out of the water, posting unachievable ‘perfect’ pictures, posey-posing like the left WITHOUT any of the right.⁣ ⁣ No one wants to be swimming with sharks; they’re not super friendly, they’re intimidating & you can’t get close to them. ⁣ ⁣ I look back at old photos, posts from 3 years ago & see a completely different Chessie – a Chessie who cared more about looking good than doing good.⁣ A ‘what were you thinking, why were you adding to the problem’ ⁣ It was a classic case of monkey see, monkey do. That was Instagram back then. No squishy bits. No wobbly bits. No transparency, vulnerability or raw gritty bits. No body celebration. Just everyone’s ‘favourite’ bits – of ourselves & of our lives. So… I really want to say sorry.⁣ ⁣ I am sorry to anyone that followed sharky old me 3 years ago when I just posted photos like the left.⁣ ⁣ I am sorry if I made you feel like you weren’t good enough.⁣ ⁣ I am sorry I was a bit of a dick – not just to myself or to my body but to YOU.

King on julkaissut verkossa jopa alastonkuviaan, joissa kaunotar paljastaa millainen hänen vartalonsa todellisuudessa on. Lisäksi hän on julkaissut kuvia, joissa verrataan vierekkäin someversiota ja rehellistä todellista versiota samasta tilanteesta. Hän haluaa kuvillaan osoittaa, etteivät kaikki sosiaalisessa mediassa ihastusta aikaansaavat naiset ole todellisuudessa aivan niin timmissä kunnossa kuin kuvien perusteella voisi luulla.

Chessie Kingin ajatus rehellisistä kuvista sai alkunsa vuona 2017, kun hän pelkäsi jonkun paljastavan naisen näyttävän todellisuudessa hieman toiselta kuin sosiaalisessa mediassa erittäin suuren suosion saaneissa kuvissaan. Hän päätti paljastaa seuraajilleen millainen hänen vartalonsa todellisuudessa on. Samalla hän halusi pönkittää naisten itsetuntoa. Kuvat ovat saaneet aikaan ihastusta ja nyt hänellä on Instagramissa jo 800.000 seuraajaa. Nyt hän on kirjoittanut aiheesta jo kirjankin.

I was ‘TOO BIG’ when I stepped on stage at 9% body fat. Too big for my category in the bikini competition I’d trained 18 weeks for. It took me 18 months to recover post competition. I was 18 when I was told I was too big to model, that the agency would only take me if I lost 2 stone. I’ve been on shoots where they have edited my photos right in front of me. I‘ve been sat on the front row, watching myself be photoshopped by a photographer I’d only just met who morphed me into a smaller version of myself. That was the real catalyst to wanting to change my body. For 6 years, I tried every way to be the smallest I could possibly be, the ‘thinnest’, the size I thought I ‘should be’. And now, after finally becoming bestfriends with my body… I am being told I’m ‘TOO THIN’. – Too thin to talk about body confidence. Too thin to use my voice on social media to do what I want to do more than anything in life; help people. I believe, wholeheartedly, that every women, in every skin, deserves to be proud to talk about their story of the body they live in. There’s a never ending list of good things we can do in this world, body shaming is absolutely not one of them, so let’s put an end to it, for good 🖤

I’ve found this hard to write, not because it’s an emotional caption but it’s just difficult to explain… 3 years ago, I wouldn’t of ever posted a photo like the right. But now I find myself not ever posting photos like the left. These photos were both taken today, they’re the same body 🧡 Brontë said the other day, she thinks I don’t end up posting some photos because I always want to try & make people feel good about themselves. I don’t want anyone to look at a photo of me & think “cor, I couldn’t look like that, I feel shit now”. Maybe I put too much pressure on myself to live up to the body confidence message I try & spread daily. I don’t even know, I just know that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with my body looking like either the left or right 💛🧡❤️

the girls & I got nuudey ruudey today to try pump some body celebration into your brains this situation is hard enough without the ‘watch me come out of isolation 5 times the size of Mr blobby’ memes… it’s dated it’s boring it’s not funny & it can be really quite triggering to those who have had a turbulent relationship with their bodies Next time you catch yourself self-sabotaging, ask yourself: what good could I be doing with my time right now? what advice would I give my bestfriend if she text me saying she was struggling with her body image? if I close my eyes, can I hear my heart beating? Put your hand on it & feel it. That’s your powerhouse. What’s going on under your first layer, what’s your body doing for you right now?
