I posted this on my personal facebook today. It's been one of those things that's always on my mind, especially in the world we live in today. Women come in all sizes ... short, tall, thin, heavier, different color skin ... the list goes on. In society today, some say "real women" are a size 16 and up because that's the "average" size. I call bull shit. Real women are all women. We get a lot of crap about our main model, Vanessa, being thin. Guess what, that's just who she is! She's a mom like most of us (of 4 children!!) and has the stretch marks to prove it. Just because she's a size small doesn't mean she's not real. Just as because I'm a size 10 doesn't mean I'm not real either.
Women have to start supporting each other and quit saying nasty things about one another just because someone doesn't match your style or what you consider "pretty."
We all need to be our best version of ourselves 100% of the time. If you have to talk trash about another woman you don't even know, it's probably time you take a good look at yourself and start there. Learn to love and be confident in YOU and you'll live a much happier life.
Just my food for thought for this Monday!

I think John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono said it best, “Make Love Not War”. Pick your battles and appreciate difference. Leslie and Vanessia I’m proud of you both and what you stand for. Keep rocking it !!!

You look great!
It doesn’t matter our"size" someone will always be critical ( if even under their breath).
Stand true to yourself.
God Bless

Thank you so much for your words! I’ve been on both sides. While made fun of for being too thin, I longed to not be so anymore. I got so tired of hearing ’don’t you ever eat?’ Now I’m heavier and have days when I feel like the judging eyes are always staring down my large stomach and back rolls. It is so sad that women make other women feel this way. Thank you for featuring all sizes and shapes at Zig Zag Stripe!

Thank you for sharing!! We all come in different shapes and sizes. Our identity is not in our weight but in the one who created us!! We all need to be the best version of who we were created to be♥️
