Whenever people talk about having the perfect body, I wish they'd change their phrasing to "my perfect body."
That's the thing, isn't it? Everyone has an idea about what the perfect body is. There's no true definition. There's no concrete answer to the question "what is the perfect body?"
For some, being the healthiest on the inside is the perfect body. For bodybuilders, it's having the biggest and most-defined muscles. For straight-sized models, it's being tall and thin. Some women love their curves. Some men love to be broad and stocky. Some folks like to feel big, and some like to feel small. The perfect body is your idea of the perfect body.
It's certainly not Victoria's Secret's idea of a perfect body. Just ask Lane Bryant, who is using big and curvy models to redefine sexiness, or this mom, who is giving dolls make-unders to desexualize them.
Now, the women of Curvy Kate are taking a stance on body image, and I am right there with them.
Check out how the 10 gorgeous models below are redefining the idea of the "perfect body!"

Victoria's Secret released this ad campaign. Notice anything? All of the women have exactly the same proportions. Essentially, Victoria's Secret believes there is only one kind of beauty, and that just isn't true.
After outrage, and even a petition, Victoria's Secret changed their phrasing from "Perfect Body" to "Everybody" — but they didn't change the models. After all, the point was these models don't represent everybody!
Curvy Kate, a lingerie brand for all shapes and sizes, recreated the same ad with new models. Just look at all of the different body types and how stunning each one is!
Curvy Kate also launched its "Star In A Bra" competition to find their next featured model. This is Sophia, just one of the gorgeous contestants.

What I love about the competition is that there is such a range of beauty. Check out Tatiana's toned figure.
No two women have the same body, so we should stop telling women that there is only one kind of beauty. This is Holly. Is there any good reason Holly's body shouldn't be represented by Victoria's Secret?
What Curvy Kate and model Emma show us is that all shapes are beautiful — thin or big, each of our own special kind of beauty is worthy of praise!
I love model Nicola's retro-inspired look. She is working it!
