Body Positive Model Posts ‘Deleted’ Pics To Show What She Really Looks Like Unstaged
“Well, guess what… the model doesn’t even look like that in real life.”
Influencer Georgie Clarke was once known as the influencer with the perfect body. The body positivity advocate was once very much riddled with body dysmorphia issues coupled with life problems that often put stress on her mental health. Behind her smiles, she hid many things that were going on in her life.
She’s now focused on her own well-being and has slightly put up weight as a result of living a happier life that focuses on self-love.
The model also frequently reminds her 697k followers that her most perfect pictures do not represent reality at all. To that effect, she’s also shared pictures that she felt reluctant to share with people.
In her latest post was a “deleted” picture of Clarke enjoying the summer weather in this hand-knitted purple beachwear.
This post was for those who have ever felt “put off” from ever buying a bikini for summer because they don’t think they’d look as good as the model. Clarke dropped the fact, “Well, guess what… the model doesn’t even look like that in real life.”
“It’s a clever pose, adjusted angle, strategic lighting, tensed body that’s then been enhanced and airbrushed…” she revealed. “It’s not real life, ladies, stop comparing yourself!”
“Everything we’ve been taught and conditioned to hate about ourselves is actually completely normal!” the woman continued. “Cellulite, dimples, scars, stretch marks… rolls… you name it, everyone has these things!”
“We just don’t see it on Instagram because influencers and celebrities are under constant pressure to edit these normal things out to protect themselves from nasty comments from trolls, and I find it’s especially prevalent in the media where articles surrounding celebrity gossip always portray normal bodies and skin as a negative thing.”
“It’s a constant cycle of being told we should feel negative about our bodies when in reality we are all normal.”
“So stop comparing yourself, but the bikini and rock it, I say! You deserve to feel good about yourself,” she encouraged others.
Clarke’s uplifting message and honest feelings resonated with many who saw her post. Followers thanked and complimented how she looked good in both pictures.
One wrote, “I love posts like this, and it’s thanks to people such as yourself that I now online shop differently and always see how clothes and models are manipulated to look a certain way and not the actual real-life perfectly imperfect way.”
“We need more of this type content on the gram. You are bloody beautiful – thank you,” wrote another.
“I’d be delighted with the deleted. Both beautiful,” complimented another user.
Clarke, who makes content and blogs focusing on self-love and her favorite fashion content, is always open about her struggle with mental health.
Her often honest and realistic posts that don’t gloss over the horrifying industry that perpetuates a toxic beauty standard was one reason that made her famous.
She’s even called out her own picture to show how perfect – and destructive – edits can be.
We love an honest queen and stan their positive attitude!
