IN THIS AIRBRUSHED, thigh gap-obsessed world, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes a real human body.
That’s why women have started posting pictures of their ‘imperfections’ using the hashtag #ThighReading, comparing the lines on their thighs to the lines on their palms.
Some women said they had never seen stretch marks on another woman before the hashtag began:
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
One woman told Mashable that she felt her “stretch marks told a story the same way I had been told my palms did”.
I truly believe that when you post a picture of your stretch marks, acne, body hair, belly rolls etc, you are not only celebrating yourself, but celebrating every girl who has ever felt like her imperfections define her. I post my pictures for me, but mostly for her.
