The following is an article from WWAPSD?
"Let me explain the philosophy behind this statement. It's not meant to be promiscuous or dirty; it's meant to be motivation to get the kind of body I wouldn't be ashamed for everyone to see naked.
When I want a big ol' slice of cake, I think to myself, Would a porn star do that? The answer: Nope. When I want to get into bed at the end of the day without doing sit-ups or applying cocoa butter, I ask myself, What would a porn star do? A porn star would suck it up, do sit-ups and Kegals and jumping-jacks, wash the makeup off her face, use teeth-whitening strips and a face mask, AND apply the goddamn cocoa butter before bed. That's what a porn star would do.
As a girl, I was a competitor in beauty pageants, and I wanted to be a model. So why not What Would a Beauty Queen Do? Or What Would a Model Do? This is because of the answer to those questions: Starve. To be a model, you must be sickly. To be a porn star, you must not. The reason for this is simple: Models want to look good to other girls. Porn stars need to look good for men.
And men are evolutionally programmed to be attracted to what is healthy and if impregnated will produce healthy, surviving children. It sounds banal, but most human behavior is simply the result of survival of the fittest, and species-propagating behavior is what survives the test of evolution. So men like healthy women: Curves, glowing skin, white teeth, shiny hair. All signs of good health in the days of cavemen.
In the modeling industry, bones must be visible, skin must be either fried or vampirish, and eyes are sunken. I really don't know why this self-destructive emphasis on starvation is what survives in the modeling world or what that means to evolution, but I do know: I've been there. And it's not what I want to be.
So that's why I want to look like a porn star, not a model or a beauty queen. Tell me it's dirty and wrong, but it's healthy."
Alright, folks. So apparently sexy is in. Agree? Disagree?
