cumwad twelveMy Dearest Oprah, Sept 30, 2005I was at a live function this evening. I had the opportunity to recitesome erotic prose that I had written, as well as focus my attention onother people’s open expressions. Earlier, I viewed your program.The two events combined through a conversation I had with a couple.We spoke of art, the expression of self as well as body image. I wastaken by a comment a ‘fat’ person said to me as we entered a truck.She explained that I should sit in the back because she was larger thanmyself. I have passionate views about body image. I have exploredthe concept of outer appearance and continue to do so daily. Withsincere caution, I asked this beautiful woman a personal question; Iasked her how cum she made the comment about the difference in ourbody types. Admirable confidence exuded her as she unapologeticallyidentified herself as “sexy.” I loved that about her. Not simply becauseI agreed, but because I understood that true beauty lies in the person– their values. I was attracted to her confidence more than her outerappearance.As a group of like-minded and strong-willed women, we bondedthrough dialogue. We spoke about you and your beliefs. We sharedour concerns about the concept of body image. The ‘fat’ woman,who sung and recited poetry earlier that evening, educated me withknowledge she attained through reading literature. Heather (let merefer to her by her given name) graced me with a perspective that Ihad in common with her. She spoke of an author who embraced theword ‘fat’ and investigated through personal experience the impactthat one word had on the way she lived and how others treated her.‘Fat’ in itself is a beautiful thing. Unlike the woman you mentioned onyour program one afternoon – the entrepreneur of Vogue magazinewho has a distaste for ‘fat’ people … I do not agree that ‘fat’ peopleare unattractive.You interviewed a black fashion guru on the same program. He wasthe man who guided those into his vision of true style. He was theman who knew what looked good, to put it simply. Now, from myunderstanding this Vogue lady had great admiration and respect forher employee. He was called to her office one day to talk. As heexpressed so vulnerably on your program, he brought great insecurityto that office visit. He was concerned that he would be fired becausehe was ‘overweight.’Now, I understand you know how this story plays out – that itseems to have worked itself into a happy ‘ending,’ if you will; heJOYS 200
