Imperfectly

I think your body is great, great, great, Selkie!!!! I love it, I loved it already when you appeared here for the first time. And I can´t tell you how much I´m bored my women who are more plastic than natural!!!
Your body is great, and you are too, I love your strength and pride!!!!

Your body is beautiful x

wonderful selkie!

so beautifully said, z… love you for it very much… and you are b e a u t i f u l inside and out… good morning~ xoxo

Wonderful B&W. Great write-up too.

gorgeous shot!

I so agree with your words and courage…............I think it’s all the imperfection that makes someone UNIQUE and PERFECT…..........It’s so NICE to meet the REAL BEAUTIFL YOU….! xx

True beauty is where not many people expect it.
And there’s nothing I appreciate more than openness and the strength of spirit and heart to do it. I so like your attitude, artistic or otherwise.
Kudos, my friend.

How wonderful you are! Wonderful REAL photo!

Thank god for real people.. That is one of things that make you so beautiful. :)

Totally with you on the airbrushing and false tits and perfectness. I love my curves, my tits piss me off BIG time, they are naturally huge and I hate them because they actually hurt. I love my stretchmarks, they are affirmation I have been through childbirth and something I make my boys look at continually to remind them lol. You live in your body well….if only other woman could be so comfortable and stop trying to be something theyre not. Well done you girl.x

bwhahahhaa obviously deprived of mummas tits as a baby or breastfed til he was 25. Im 5’3…a G cup. Im surprised I dont stand on a permanant lean lol.

“I’m pretty much sick to death of seeing airbrushed photos of women with implants and anorexia and plastic surgery galore…“

I couldn’t agree more.

Imperfectly perfect! In other words… human. Well done and kudos for your real art!

Totally agree! I hate all the efforts to make us feel bad about ourselves. It is our “flaws” that make us interesting!

Oh, and I have both you and Tracey beat on the titty front – there are many men I have met who could not pick me out of a lineup if my boobs were blocked. They are a blessing and a curse, for sure.

Big tits are not what they are cracked up to be. Your back hurts, no one looks you in the eye and lord help ya when they start go south for the winter and never come back.

This is beautiful and so are you! Wonderful photo.xx

you’re real – your photos are real – nothing is more thought provoking than reality.
well done you “real” S!

Great lighting, pose and tonal quality

I like the reality of this image…it is who you are inside…that really counts…Great BW treatment!

I love this…nicely said and great image.

what i’m listening to is the beautiful light within you! so if that’s beautiful….
MY GOD THAT TEMPEL
WHICH HOUSES THAT LIGHT
IS VERY MUCH SO
THE SAME!!!
:)

this is a beautiful photo Selkie … and you look beautiful …..

your attitude and style impress the hell out of me… you are brilliant!

Hey Hon…. I think you are a gorgeous sexy diva of woman. Nothing like courage and artistic expression in a person in this phony conformist world…. bravo lady. And btw, I’m 5’1” and DDD. I think we should have a RB Most Spectacular Breasts, but not a contest. How about a celebration?

A beautiful and real SP …why airbrush ?
Good on you :)

Beauitful image and wonderful tonal work and lighting.

Why should you not be proud? :)

Thank you …yours too ..really enjoyed looking through :)

beautiful girl – strong and brave.

every woman has these demons, ones that leer at them from the mirror saying ‘you’re too this… you’re not that…’ but very few women have the courage to tell them to go to hell. true beauty is only in the real and this self-portrait is plenty real!

All this is so real and beautiful. This is perfectly real opposed to imperfectly fake and love this image for that.

I love woman like you!

Your perfect the way you are, and it is nice to come across real people in this overly superficial world. 8¬)

I am applauding you in my heart….you gorgeous woman….you have my admiration and bravo I say to u !!! I love your realness….it helps me to love my own….XX

inspiring!!! you have touched me …

Those plastic, photoshopped women seem souless. I look at this and I see your pain, your joy, your ecstasy…...your beautiful soul!!!

I dig it, too, sweetheart – pure and simple :)))

Thank God for real women…........let me stand up and cheer…......
Well said, well shot, and such a very beautiful woman you are :)

Good for you! I’m a guy and feel the same way about my body – bit of a tummy, etc. but I love it and people who see it are lucky, too, and anyone else who doesn’t like it can go to ‘ell. And, by the way, you look just sensational, and I mean it! So there!

I wonder if you have any idea how inspiring and wonderful you truly are? Your honesty and strength is so amazing. Though we will likely never meet, I think you are one stunning and empowered woman – and I am proud to know you ( even virtually)

Very well said hun and i could not agree more.. Beautiful image by the way..

ok, i just found you and now you have a new fan. love your attitude.

this is beautiful so honest i love it

YOU are freakin’ stunning! Well done you!

Cool. Thanks for sharing your story. Real…. bring it on!

Man.. you are incredible as woman and artist your words melt my cold cold heart.. the one that is directed at my body.. Much Love. and appreciation to you

Beautiful portrait,words and inspiration.x

Thank you for posting this portrait and for writing what you have! ALL of it – all the way down this loooong list! Maybe what you say will help me find and fit into the woman’s body I somewhere know must be mine!
Not often I feel inspired like this – wow – you done good :)))

What an inspiration you are! I have been a fitness instructor for nearly 20 years and have never ‘fitted’ the body beautiful mould… I believe in caring for your body… it is your temple…and it is divinely beautiful no matter what fashion may say! I have stretch marks, saggy boobs and the belly button has never looked the same since 3 children… but my God… my body serves me well!!! Going by the reaction above… I think you have done something truly wonderful… : )

well i think you are beautiful and i love this photo!! : ))

incredible

Contrary I, am not tired of viewing “enhancements”, as visual art. Make-up itself is akin to air-brushing, even wardrobe or jewelry is self-sake adornment. Variations on a theme sometimes fugue-like stutter, so current trends can’t last. I’ve always known that there are no ugly women, only short-sighted men, but vantage adjustment seems helpful. As a physical manifestation of the mind of god, corporeal woman fascinates. I am a victim of my own Y-chromosomes.

Having suffered from chronic pain and other health issues for a long time, i understand aspects of your image entirely. so wonderful of you to share such a beautiful intimate image.

wow

Bravo. This is a beautiful photo! Awesome work. Our bodies are the roadmaps of where we’ve been, what we’ve done and who we are. And it’s all G O O D. As Betty Friedan said, “The real enemy is women’s denigration of themselves.”

• I just found myself here reading all of these comments from so many people so here it is: Selkie – “you look mahvolous dahling” – and for the rest of you great ladies who apparently could compete for ‘titty fest’ 2009 and actually win….here’s a little Austin Powers for all of you ” Y E A H B A B Y ! Fabulous shot and notation that we are simply human :-)

well said.

great shot and good on you for being brave enough to fess up to being human….. it’s a great shot and you look wonderful…. the marks of life are on you and they make you more real than some bimbo with all the bizness being done to her….. good one honey…. your beautiful just as you are…...

Tears in my eyes.
Wow. So well expressed and so well shot.
Yeah..I’m tired of the fake-azoids too!

Love it! This is life.

your words make this exponentially cooler and more beautiful than I already thought it was! Great work!!!

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A REAL WOMAN! :) Great picture and beautiful story! SUPERB!

Better said… A REAL, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! :)

Hell yeah!

I was just scrolling through and my god how refreshing!
I have had 4 children and almost died having my third my body has been through alot and I am sick of seeing the same as you have mentioned.
I am 35 and I think I look alright all things considered.
Thank you so much for putting this pic up!!!!
