Adipose: Of or relating to fat.

The Adipositivity Project</u>

MISSION:

To spread awareness for The Adipositivity Project.

"The Adipositivity Project aims to promote size acceptance, not by listing the merits of big people, or detailing examples of excellence (these things are easily seen all around us), but rather, through a visual display of fat physicality. The sort that's normally unseen.

The hope is to widen definitions of physical beauty. Literally.

The photographs here are close details of the fat female form, without the inclusion of faces. One reason for this is to coax observers into imagining they're looking at the fat women in their own lives, ideally then accepting them as having aesthetic appeal which, for better or worse, often translates into more complete forms of acceptance.

The women you see in these images are educators, executives, mothers, musicians, professionals, performers, artists, activists, clerks, and writers. They are perhaps even the women you've clucked at on the subway, rolled your eyes at in the market, or joked about with your friends.

This is what they look like with their clothes off.

Some are showing you their bodies proudly. Others timidly. And some quite reluctantly. But they all share a determination in altering commonly accepted notions of a narrow and specific beauty ideal.

Bookmark adipositivity.com and check back often, as new photographs are added regularly(ish). And please help spread the message. The Adipositivity Project: Changing attitudes about the aesthetic validity of big women, one fat fanny at a time."

Welcome of DA. We are of the same mind when it comes to women and art.

Always seeking models in my area of West Michigan. I love shooting with plus and bbw models. Any age over 18.

From the Adipositivity Project's photographer and founder Substantia Jones: "While I am a fan, I have not, in fact, joined the DeviantArt community. Much to the dismay of my many Deviant pals who keep asking why the hell not. I have no objection to a remotely owned fan page (as is on Facebook) as long as it's clearly marked as such. I appreciate your spreading the word, Folks. Very much. Just please remember that selling another's prints, charging for access to their images, or representing that person in correspondence is not cool. And ever since I learned someone posing as me on MySpace was contacting women to model for him/her, I've had to be more of a hard-ass about this. Sorry, but it's a safety issue.

So carry on, by all means, just please post an indication that you're not actually me? Thanks again for all your support!

Substantia Jones"

Welcome to DA :) Was waiting for you to come here!

I too support and promote size acceptance in my home state. My group is a social one however so it's more on an individual basis as we show people of size how to have self confidence and self esteem.

It's fantastic to see this project BRAVO!

Proud SSBBW! I don't apologize for my size, I embrace it and make it look good!
:iconadipositivity:
That's wonderful! There needs to be more size activists in today's society - Keep up the great work!
