There’s no doubt that Iskra Lawrence loves her body. She is anti-body shaming and she doesn’t want any of her photos retouched. She is proud of her curvaceous figure and she hates being labelled as a plus-size model (even though she is one by every definition of the term). Despite being an advocate of body diversity, the 26-year old model confessed that once in her life, she had fallen to the society’s standard of a perfect model.
In her Instagram account, she shared an image of a blonde girl with a perfect skinny body wearing sexy lingerie.
Believe it or not – it’s Iskra Lawrence about seven years ago. She looked amazingly different but the thing was – the image was highly retouched. She posted this mind-blowing photo to show how many perfected images in the media are. They look beautiful but they are fake. In her caption, she wrote:
“That smooth a$$ skin? Not mine – a computer programme did that. The full thick hair – extensions. Push up bra. Waist + legs + arms slimmed with a photoshop tool. No eye bags, well actually no nothing that makes me resemble the real me. And the WORST thing about it… I WANTED TO LOOK LIKE THIS.”
She also admitted that even if she wanted to look like that at that time, it only made her more insecure.
“I thought if I had ‘perfected’ images (like the ones I saw of other models) that I would book more jobs = would make me happy and successful. When in reality seeing retouched images of myself gave me even more insecurities and body image issues because I couldn’t even look like or relate to the image of myself! So please NEVER EVER compare yourself to images you see, many aren’t real.”
