Start a business that promotes Women’s salaries!
So I’ve been thinking of cornerstones of my business, and I think I’ve nailed them down. Creativity Professionalism Fun Empowerment The last one is the most important, and when people look at my work, and read what I have to say, I want that to be the word they walk away thinking about. This has always been a big, personal goal of mine whenever I would go into a pin up/boudoir session, but I never really told anyone about it. However, after reading some really upsetting things that a fellow photographer, no less, posted online about curves essentially being better than having a “boy body,” I felt it was necessary to stand apart from that archaic idea that shaming thin bodies helps big bodies. I am 5'3" and I’m about 190lbs. When I see photos of myself, that other people take, I think, “Fuck, I’m huge,” but when I look at myself in the mirror, I don’t see it. When I’m walking around, or when I put on a cute dress, I don’t feel it. Do I want to lose weight? Of course. I may not feel anything now, but I’m sure as I age, the weight will take a toll on my body, and I’d rather not have to deal with that. So I do what I do, and that’s my business. There is no default body type. Not everyone can look like Anne Hathaway in her Catwoman costume, thin, but still curvy, but that doesn’t mean that their bodies are wrong. Not everyone can be a big girl with huge breasts, and a shapely butt. Sometimes people have big tummies, and no but or boobs, or they’re big everywhere with no defined waist, or they have 2% body fat with huge muscles, or their super skinny with no curves, etc. All of these bodies are beautiful, because they are a person, who is alive, and has thoughts, and dreams, and that’s all pretty awesome if you ask me. So yeah, I want to spread some body love. I would call this a campaign, but campaign sounds like there is some finality to it. I want this to always be a part of Keely Weis Photography. I want to educate people about body shaming, how it goes both ways, and why we need to break the habit of ever attacking someone’s body image. How someone looks has nothing to do with what’s inside them.

YOUR SISTER
I have a sister, but we don’t talk. We should, I have that feeling. We grew up together, I left when a teen to go to school and I had seen her some. We still haven’t talked at all. I talk to my brothers just fine. I’m old now and want to make amends, however, I can’t think of how to break the barrier between us. I get the impression it’s just like another person, being so close. Ideas? Comments?

From the outside looking in, you can never understand it. From the inside looking out, you can never explain it.
