Virtually #perfectlyimperfect

Kayla Logan reached out to me to see if I could edit together some video footage of her most recent #perfectlyimperfect campaign featuring over 100 glorious bodies and “make it inspirational” so naturally I said yes! If you scope out the first image on the homepage, that was taken when Kayla was here on one of her many stops across North America for the project!

In any case, as I was putting the videos together I was inspired by the fearlessness and badassery of the humans who sent in their videos so I wrote a poem to voice-over for the video. Originally we were going to do something with all the body image stats/eating disorder stats/etc. but these amazing humans were radiant and magical and so powerful that I took it in a bit of a different direction. The heart wants what the heart wants, ya know?

LESS

When they tell us to show less of ourselves
They are saying BE less of yourself.
But these glorious bodies
deserve the sun
the water
and the night
For celebration
liberation
and existence
is our divine right.
We are reclaiming our pleasure
and taking action,
So the next generations
don't have to deal
with body dissatisfaction.
They try to convince us
to be sweet and nice,
but what they don't know
is that we aren't sugar & spice.
We are made up
of bums & tums
& jiggly bits,
The unattainable beauty standard
is the only thing
that no longer fits.
We will bend
and move
Strut and undress
For we are
the Perfectly Imperfect
and we won't settle for less.
