Milk Eggs Flour

Caroline V. Corbitt is an intended Graphic Design major and Photography minor at the University of Georgia. She did a series, with the help of her close friend Ashlyn Davis, titled Milk Eggs Flour for one of her photo classes. Her series depicts herself being covered with the three ingredients milk, eggs and flour, to portray the falsity of feminine ideals.

The idea behind her piece has to do with the fact that women believe they have to be perfect all the time.

“Women are under so much pressure to be better than other women,” she says,” It’s crazy how much we rely on our looks and makeup to feel beautiful.”

She covered herself in these key ingredients to show that you can feel beautiful no matter how you look.

“It’s really about how you feel,” she explains,”I feel the most beautiful when I’ve just taken a shower and am bundled up watching T.V., just clean.”

“That’s not how many girls want boys to see them however, and that’s just crazy to me!”

%tags Creative Outlets Inspirational People

“I felt beautiful when being photographed covered in goo and all women should feel beautiful, even if there is egg on their face.”

%tags Creative Outlets Inspirational People

“Women should be able to be their whole selves and feel good. We put all kinds of junk on our faces to be ‘beautiful’, and when it comes down to it, it’s really just junk that clogs your pours!”

Why I Said No To Modeling

“Is there any way you can get your waist and hip measurements down? Then we’d love to have you.”

There is something very wrong with these words that are being said to many girls across the world. It’s not okay to make girls think that if they don’t have a 24-inch waist, they can’t walk the runway.

That they aren’t wanted. They aren’t beautiful. Because that’s definitely not true. People tell me all the time that at 5’11 I should be a model. But every time I get close to being sucked into the industry, I am sent back to reality and realize that I don’t want to support this industry.

I can’t be a part of something that makes others feel bad about themselves, even if it is something I enjoy.

Just because I have good genes means I get an opportunity that others can’t have? That’s not right. I love being in front of a camera and getting to dress up as a new person each time, and that’s something every girl deserves. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful, even more so than the Victoria’s Secret models.%tags Overcoming Challenges

Because there are so many girls out there who aren’t being recognized for their beauty both on the inside and outside. It’s easy to feel self-conscious about yourself, but just know – you aren’t alone. There isn’t a person in the world that doesn’t have insecurities about something. So recognize yourself. Be proud of yourself. Don’t let what you see in magazines and on TV discourage you, because under all of that professional hair and makeup, they’re normal people just like you and me.

Everyone can be beautiful, no matter if you wear a size 0 or 18.

So get out there – dance like nobody’s watching, sing like nobody’s listening, and enjoy life to the fullest – and capture it with your memory or camera. We all deserve to feel happy and beautiful. After all, we are just ordinary people capable of extraordinary things. Oh, and don’t forget to smile!

Awesome. We will send you a quality story from time to time.

I’m a Junior in College And I have No Friends
The very first week of my freshman year at university, I joined a sorority. My mother was in a sorority, all her friends were in sororities. For me, this felt like the pinnacle, the first and most important choice of my college career. These were the girls I was picking to be my best friends, […]

I Traveled The Unorthodox Path And Found My True North
When I was younger I always did exactly what was expected of me, but my laters years show that I’ve traveled a very unorthodox path. In the beginning, I was Mama’s perfect little girl in ruffled dresses with matching shoes and bags; daddy’s little princess; and teacher’s pet. I colored inside the lines. I did what was expected […]

Finding Freedom
Just over a year ago, before I left for study abroad, my twin brother and I got matching tattoos. On his right wrist, in my handwriting, “Stay Free.” On my left wrist, in his handwriting, “Stay Free.” When we first got them, our mother was understandably furious. She said, “what happens when you get married?” […]
