The beach pics were actually kind of amazing imo. It's one thing to preach to your fans in interviews about the importance of self-love and self-acceptance, but it's quite another to actually walk the walk and go to a beach on more than one occasion knowing that you'll be photographed, and more than likely later criticized for, looking less than perfect. I have heaps of respect for her because of them. It has to take massive balls to be a star and in the public eye and to so brazenly take a stand against society's ****ed up beauty standards like that.
Love this goddess.
