Lizzi Miller, Glamour Magazine, MSNBC
I am THRILLED at the news of Glamour magazine’s photo of model Lizzi Miller nearly nude in their latest issue. Why? Because this gorgeous 20-year-old, 5’11”, 180-pound blonde beauty has a belly. It’s enough of a belly to hide the top of the little panties she wore during the shoot. And you know what? So do I. More than that, I even have thighs and hips that I was self-conscious about until I discovered the accepting and body-affirming attitudes of nudism. Imagine that…a woman who’s concerned about the way her body appears to others! (Note irony.)
Miller’s appearance in a 3”x3” photo all the way back on page 194 of the September issue of the magazine has delivered an unexpected shock to the fashion world. Response to the photo has been stunning and garnered enough attention to prompt an interview of Miller by Matt Lauer of NBC’s Today Show (a link for which is available at MSNBC.com) While Miller called the photo “not the most flattering picture” in which she’s been shown, she casually and confidently claims to simply have been caught in a moment relaxing and being her “natural” self.
This photo and accompanying article prompted me to think back to my first visit to a nudist resort (Turtle Lake in Union City, MI.) I was petrified. What would others think of my imperfections? Would they whisper behind my back as if I’d worn last year’s fashions? Would they think my husband unlucky for being attached to someone in less-than-ideal shape?
The fear was replaced by comfort and quickly by happiness when I found the opposite to be true. I was brought into their group like an old friend. I felt good about the way I looked, and moved, and felt. To me, this is what nudism is all about.
The serious shame of it all is that the size 2 supermodels make many of us feel so inferior that we don’t venture into the very place that makes us lose those feelings. Let’s hear it for Lizzi Miller, Glamour magazine, and every media resource that makes people feel good about who they are – inside and out.
