Of Photoshop, Youtube and Angels in Lingerie


Photoshop magic, media overload and angels strutting down the runway have all helped frame the concept of being sexy. And just like the airbrushed images of models plastered all over the magazines and billboards, our perception of what sexy ought to be is alarmingly skewed. Being sexy is not about being a size zero or a perfect 36-24-36. Sexiness is not measured in terms of weight or vital stats. It's all about the attitude.

You're sexy when you feel comfortable in you're own skin. It's when you feel confident in your cut-off jeans and oversized shirt as you are self-assured when you're in stilettos and that little black dress. It's when you look at the mirror, acknowledge your flaws and smile, "fuck it. Perfection is overrated anyway."

You're sexy when you live life in your own terms and by your own rules. It's when you walk with your head held high (despite what others say) because you know who you are and that's all that matters. It's when you refuse to listen to anyone who tries to tell you how you should dress, what to eat and who to become.

You're sexy when you are unafraid to speak your mind. It's when you say what you want to say. It's when you voice out your opinions and defend your beliefs, unabashed.

You're sexy when you are fearless.

You're sexy when you are free.

You're sexy when you say you're sexy.
