-ו×- How to Huggle -ו×- Purchase Prints -ו×- 
You know........ever since I've started taking figure drawing classes, and learning about the human anatomy and so forth........it's all made an impact on my views of the human body and changed what I find to be "beautiful" or not. Now, I have an incredibly broad view of the term....it's more difficult to find someone who I don't consider beautiful in once way or another. Well, my judgments are based more on personality than appearance at least in most cases. But at the same time, I'm wondering if I'm "blind" in a sense, because of such a broad view of "beauty."
If anyone has browsed the Daily Deviations for December 8th, there's a particular deviation that has stirred up a lot of DArama. Won't send you a link, because if you've been on DA for a while now, you'll all probably be able to know which one I'm talking about.
When I first saw the deviation, I knew it will probably get tons of hate mail, and I was right, totally did. Personally, my view on the photo is, had the photo's quality been exactly the same, but with a thin, young model, the deviation would have double the faves, and not nearly as much hate mail. However, instead of commenting on the model, people decided to critisize the "quality" of the photo instead. While the critiques where valid, I'm not convinced they would have been so critical under different circumstances.
The thing about photography, is it's not always the photographer that makes the picture beautiful. A lot of the times, it IS the subject. And that's not bad! So what disturbs me is, if everyone has such a hard time accepting someone of a different body type beautiful, then is there something wrong with how I see people? Yes, to be blunt, it's a "fat old chick," but I can't see the "ugly" in that. Especially in this particular photo. I think she's an incredibly beautiful woman, wow looks great especially considering her age, and even I can't do a move like she can!
Age isn't something that can be helped, but weight is in most cases. The argument a lot of people raise about bigger models or super skinny models, is that their bodies aren't "healthy." And that's true, I understand why someone considers something ugly, if someone looks the way they do because of unhealthy habits. Which brings me to another point about body acceptance photos. These photos get so much praise when it's a thick model acting "proud" of her body. Yet, if it was an anorexic model, she would get more hate mail than the fat model, when quite honestly, they have more or less the same type of problem. ((btw, by "fat" I mean, obese, not normal weight.))
So, coming back to a point I made early about feeling "blind" to what I consider beautiful. Can you consider this blind to find someone of out of the norm body types beautiful? To an extent, there are skinny models, and fat models out there, who I just can not find anything ugly about them. ((there are a few, but very few)) This makes me wonder about how I feel about my own body. The list goes on with what I dislike about my own appearance. I have a love-hate relationship about myself. When it comes down to it, no I don't think I'm "ugly" but you won't see me preaching about "body acceptance." I don't want to accept bad health honestly, but that doesn't mean I feel ashamed of myself.
I'm kinda talking in circles here, but to sum it up, what I want to know is, what do YOU consider beautiful? Not personality wise necessarily, but appearance wise. For me, anyone who isn't morbidly obese, or on deaths door skinny is beautiful in my book.
