PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE June 2015 Big Sexy Summer Issue | Page 60

I am sick and tired of being dictated to. I’m sick and tired
of my loved ones being dictated to. I’m sick and tired of
all of us being dictated to! NEWS FLASH! Human bodies

subjected to hours of retouching. We have defining physical
characteristics, which are a part of who we are as people and

imprint of life is no bad thing. In fact, I think it’s a pretty
wonderful thing.
