It's the first time in 2000 years we will get the 'Star of Bethlehem' effect. Yes, the planets are in conjunction regularly, but not quite the same as this!

Thank you so much! I've learned a lot about myself, and I hope by writing about my experiences it reaches out to others too, both Aspies and those in a relationship with one. Appreciate your comments. Alex (And yes, I'm an introvert too!)

Malu, feminism is still feminism if the person is attractive and slim. She is a photographer, so she chose the opportunity to take images of herself naked, to highlight the fact that society has become so obsessed with clothing and adorning the outer body, we often forget what's underneath. I have also wrote about others who have done similar campaigns, of every shape and size. It isn't fair to call the feminism card on someone just because they are young, slim and perceived as attractive. She has gotten attention from taking these pictures, but, just the same as anyone else would if they posed naked in the middle of New York. We can't say something isn't 'feminist art' just based on their figure and image. That's entirely against the point of feminism. Women should stand shoulder to shoulder despite their outer body and feel free to campaign about whatever they want - it's all about raising awareness for valid points - something she has done with this project as she certainly made me think twice about how we use clothing to cover ourselves as though we are ashamed - that is the same for a lot of people, regardless of their shape or size.

The point here is that this is a selection of women's bodies, all different. Each one is different, regardless of the size. These were the first 96 women who applied to be photographed. And each one of them are unique.

We cannot judge on health due to pictures, we do not know the background of each person and there are thousands of articles already out there dedicated to health. This one is showing how different we all are. Exquisitely unique. In all shapes and sizes.

The main point I would like to make back to your comment, is that we cannot judge 'health' by looking at a body shape. Slim isn't always healthy, toned bodies can be hiding a multitude of unhealthy vices, we can see a picture of a supermodel size zero, or a size 2, 4, whatever - but we still will not ever know what goes on behind closed doors. I know, I have been very slim, looking healthy from the outside and to others, but at the time, my mind, self-esteem and also my eating and (over) exercising habits were not good for me at all - we just really cannot judge.

Smoking is unhealthy, but to an outsider, it may not always be visible that the person smokes, same with drinking, eating habits etc - we cannot judge these things just based on their physique alone.

Healthy bodies are ones that are full of self-love. The mind can be far more damaging than anything else we can put into or do to our bodies. Unhealthy minds are proven to be dangerous to our health, just the same as many other things are.

If we can begin to really, truly love and cherish our bodies, we are on the right road to inner health and that's far more positive than anything else we can do for ourselves. Self love all the way… A healthy, loving mind, will perform miracles for the body.
