“Every body is a beautiful body” - it was with this slogan that women proudly demonstrated their imperfect bellies and folds of fat in videos that have collected tens of millions of views in recent days.
According to the British online portal Daily Mail, the unwitting author of the flash mob was Lizzie Hang, who posted a video on the social network TikTok in which she dances in a crop top and high-waisted jeans, and then lowers them down a little to show her far from ideal press and continues to dance happily. She did this in order to dispel the illusion of thinness that influential personalities regularly show on social networks.
“The purpose of my video was to tell girls that it's okay to have a tummy! Every body is beautiful, in 2020 we no longer shame and condemn people for the way they look,”Lizzie explained. Her post quickly went viral and garnered over 18.5 million views.
Other influential personalities followed the blogger's example, including Brittany Lancaster, Brooklyn Webb and Sienna Gomez, who demonstrated not only a swollen tummy, but also stretch marks and folds of fat. Their videos also became very popular and turned into a massive flash mob, which was picked up by ordinary women, some of whom even team up in duets. In total, he has already scored over 60 million views.
Most of the comments that were left under the videos were words of gratitude: “I finally felt normal”, “You look beautiful and I see myself in you”, “I have the same body, so I really want to accept myself”, “We all have belly, especially after quarantine.”“We are normalizing the fact that average clothing size or having a belly does not mean that you are not healthy. I've never felt better in my life,”said the users.
