That's how scanties evolved into an anti-shapewear movement. It evolved because it actually— I actually coined the phrase the day I saw Sara Blakely from Spanx, and she did a video showing how she achieved this particular look. And you had to watch it as a video because no one would believe she could achieve it if she didn't show you the proof in a video. And then she proceeded to put not one pair of Spanx on, but layer it— 2 pairs of Spanx on to achieve this set look. And that's when I just threw down the towel and I was like, oh my God, when is enough going to be enough? Like, when, when is enough? When is it enough? 2 pairs of shapewear. Like, 2. Like, I was just like, we need to stop this. We need to stop telling people, like, the message out there that your bodies need to be shrunk to be accepted. Like, we need to stop promoting that you're— there's something wrong with you all the time. Like, I understand Sarah had great intentions, but it's just enough is enough. Like, any messaging That is promoting you that you are not enough, it's not your truth. It is not your truth. And that is the part that we are going to transmute and get rid of. Anything that tells you that you're not enough. So anything, because I can tell you 100%, because we know you exist, that you are divine source. energy, creation, whatever you want to call it, and that you are 100% perfect exactly as you are right now.
