Fotos: Selbstliebe ohne Kompromisse

“I knew this wasn’t going to be a glamour shoot — but part of the appeal was the challenge of communicating my femininity when the make-up, the padding, the clothes were all stripped away. But going through the photos all I could think was that my hair looked awful (it had frizzed that morning and I didn’t have time to fix it), my skin without foundation looked red and blotchy, I had man-boobs instead of breasts, my belly was all-too-prominent. I looked fat and old and ugly — and far too male.”
