Body Image, or: Why I Entered a Boob Contest.

June 24, 2009

(This was originally password protected, but then I decided that it’s my blog and I’ll say and do what I want. So. Here we go.)

I entered a boob contest. Lotus over at SarcasticMom.com is holding her second annual BEWB contest, and I figured, what the hey? It’s all in good fun, and all boob photo submissions have to be covered, so it’s not really that scandalous.

Anyway, let me tell you why I decided to enter this contest.

First of all, it seemed just silly enough to give it a go. To “compete” against over 40 other women, 99% of whom have boobs that are a D-cup or larger. I’m not even kidding. I have no serious expectations that I might even win this thing, but it can’t hurt to put myself out there (so to speak) and give it a shot.

Secondly, I realized when considering whether I wanted to do this or not, that I’ve grown a lot more comfortable with my body over the last year or two. I like what I see when I look in the mirror most days. I’m thankful for exactly the way God made me (like I said…most days; everyone has a blah day once in awhile, right?).

I’m honestly not completely sure what Lotus’s motivation or intent is in holding this bewb contest, but to me, it’s a chance for women to embrace their femininity and beauty. It’s a chance for all different shapes and sizes of women to gather together and say, “We are gorgeous. A-cup or triple-D-cup, we are all gorgeous.”

So anyway, if you feel so inclined, head on over to the contest page and vote for my bewbs! I’m #08. Oh, and Lotus even provided me with this sweet voting banner thing, which you can also click on to take you to the page.

Vote for my bewbs!

Show some love, people!

P.S. I decided that I should totally win this thing, because BEWB stands for: Best Eensy Weensy Breasts. (You know it’s true.) :-)

    Well good for you for signing up and entering. I’ve always thought about entering something like this myself but never have because, well, I do kind of like my body as is as well =)

    I’ll vote for you!

    Ummm…yeah. I voted for you and I think your photo is very tasteful; however, FOR ME, it is not an appropriate thing to go do–look at 40+ sets of ‘bewbs’ (OR ‘mbewbs’ for that matter)–so, although I’m not ‘offended’ or anything, I AM too weak to vote more than once (since it says you can vote once a day)
    Unless there’s some way to vote without looking?
    Meh!
    Still love me?
    DaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaD!

    Things I shouldn’t look at work without garnering strange glances: boob contests.

    I love the coy shot. Best of luck, I’ll vote when I’m in a more private setting. ;)
