"I left the stretch marks exactly as they were in these [photos]; [I] didn’t soften them or anything," Newman said. She wanted their appearance to be stark, obvious, and "uncompromising." Luckily,women's reactions to the photos on Polyester's Instagram reflect Newman's intended effect."So many girls [were] tagging their friends and saying things like 'Yes, I have these too!'" Newman said. "It's refreshing and reassuring when you see something a bit more real."The images are empowering not only for their beauty, but also because so many women see themselves reflected in them. Of course, we love to see body positivity wherever we can find it, and Newman's bold, playful approach drives that message home in a wonderfully unique way.
