No nudes is good nudes.

So Jennifer Hawkins has posed for Marie Claire magazine. Nude. Un-retouched (apparently).

Well, good for her, if I looked like her, I'd probably do the kindy run naked, proud as I would be of my kick'n bod!

And I like that she, along with Sarah Murdoch, have opted to highlight how much photoshopping and editing goes into the photos you normally see in a magazine. Even the women in the photos don't look like that in real life, so how the heck are we expected to??

I have an issue, however, at the statement that she has done this photoshoot for a charity that helps sufferers of eating disorders, and to "encourage positive self image in women". Umm, excuse me, but seeing this...

... does not make me feel ace about my body. It does not give me a positive self-image. In fact, it makes me want to run to the bathroom and throw up everything I've eaten today (or this week). It also, paradoxically, makes me think all hope is lost, and I may as well go eat everything in the fridge.

Thanks Jen.
