Beyoncé and her Body
Beyoncé has
been a hip-hop icon for many years. People know her for her amazing music but
some also know her for her curvaceous body and her booty. Her body is iconic
for sexuality in the hip-hop world. Now a day people adore and favor Beyoncé’s
body type, which is (in some peoples minds) sexy. In the excerpt “”Check on
it”” by Aisha Durham, Durham writes, “Beyoncé’s
celebration of her voluptuous figure has incrementally transformed beauty industries”
(36). Durham then goes to write, “A
recent study correlating media exposure to body disturbance suggests Black and
White women have become more dissatisfied with their lower torso with increased
television viewing”(37). Seeing these
women in the media with their full-figured bodies is just adding to the list of
what women feel like they need to look like. It was first, women need to look
skinny and thin figured now, its looking full figured with curves. A girl can’t
get a break. I think that women come in all shapes and sizes. Women need to
stop watching these hip-hop stars with their full figure bodies and feel like
they need to have the same butt, waist, and boobs as them. Everyone is born how
they are and everyone is born beautiful. Yes, you may think that how Beyoncé
looks is the right way to look but in reality you are the right way to look and
girls need to start realizing that. They need to start realizing that everyone
has their own body shape and to own it.
I agree with you because I don't understand why girls always want to look like these artist. Yes many of them are very beautiful but then again so are you. Everyone gets so caught up in the way one looks they forget to admire themselves. I feel like women will never be satisfied with themselves because they always want what they see.
ReplyDeleteThe booty is the new craze! There will always be something to aspire to as women. There should be more out there that focus on what we already have and not always be discouraged with what we want.
