I do not own this photo!
There has been much talk about this picture in the last few weeks. Facebook comments ranging from sweet to absolutely disgusting. There even was a post about the lack of thigh gaps.
Thigh gaps...
Let's talk about that. If you are healthy and love your body, why does it matter if anyone else has a thigh gap? Do you have one? Great. Whatever the answer, great. You know why? Its your body and it does so many amazing things and having a thigh gap or not does not make it any less you or valuable. You are more then a thigh gap or lack there of.
Thigh gaps are currently what girls are told we are supposed to want. Super models have them and movie stars have them. And you too, 14 year old girl should have them. No. Today's standards of beauty will not last into the next century. By the time I have grandchildren the "look" will have changed.
You know what will never change? Being emotionality and physically healthy and loving yourself.
The ladies in this picture were and are beautiful. I am sure none of them ever thought almost 70 years later people would be talking about their thighs. Be happy you have legs to walk on and love your self!
Here is a link to the thigh gaps post and they list a source for this picture as reddit.
