The late Leonard Nimoy "championed full-figured" women. He wanted women with full-figured bodies to not worry about what others, i.e., society thought of their looks and just be the beautiful human beings who God created them to be. He wanted them to "...be able to stand ... and present themselves to the world" just as they are. How beautiful is that?!
I can't remember hearing about this book that the man who in my head will always and forever be Mr. Spock, "Live long and prosper", (had to write that out loud ~smile~) published! Did you know this curvy divas? The book is entitled Full-figured Bodies, and from the photographs I have seen so far, the women he portrayed in the book are absolutely phenomenal and defies the stigma of society's depiction of beauty.
Author, Natalie Angier, who wrote an introduction to the book said that Mr. Nimoy didn't like that most women felt bad about their own bodies. ~sidenote: we do that don't we ladies? We are our own worse critics, this writer included!~ In order to help the women of size get rid of the stigma of hating her own body and looks, and to see the beauty that each body type represented, he photographed these women in the nude, and also sexily clad in lingerie and clothing, and the Full Body Project was born.

Let this be a reminder to all of us, to look at ourselves differently. Do not find fault in the beauty that is you! To Quote Christina Aguilera's lyrics "We are beautiful in every single way...".
