Vitaya: Readers Show their Breasts (2)

Readers of Belgium's women's magazine Vitaya showing their breasts to other readers. A strange promotional idea for a magazine with a new name? No, because if it were, they would have made a lot more noise about it. The cover on the magazine has none of the pictures, only the title of the article among many other titles.
So why did the magazine come up with this photo report? The reason is, of course, the international action against breast cancer symbolized by the pink ribbon. In an earlier posting, I showed you the Taiwanese models who went naked for the cause.
If you look at the top left woman in this picture from the pages of Vitaya, you'll see a former victim of breast cancer. It is important to know that women should not be judged for the size or look of their breasts, but that all can be proud of their breasts, as the women in the magazine report say they are, from the smallest to the largest.
If you know where to find one in your neighborhood, wear a pink ribbon and support those women who fell victim to the terrible disease.

Vitaya: Readers Show their Breasts (1)



Female readers sending in their topless pictures to a magazine. Can you imagine that in your country? No, it's not a racy magazine for men. And it's for a worthy cause. But more about that later.

Vitaya is a television station in the Flemish or Dutch-language part of Belgium. Its target viewers are women, so a large part of its programming consists of shows about gardening, cooking, style, animal protection, and imported drama shows.

Through business deals I don't understand anything about, it managed to have an existing magazine known as Evita change its title to Vitaya. And it's the first monthly edition under the new name, available from Belgian newsstands last month, that contains the topless pictures from readers.

Breasts from A to Z is the theme of the report, and it lists the pictures from the smallest to the largest sizes of breast, with comments from the ladies pictured about what they like or dislike about their breasts, mostly the former.

Again, naturism is not about showing off one's naked body to others, that could be mere exhibitionism, but it is about feeling good in one's body, no matter how it looks to others. Too often, you read comments in the mainstream media about how so many naturists are "ugly." Those are mostly written by immature spirits heading for the nude beach to spot irrealistically beautiful people, model men and women from a model world. Reports as the one in Vitaya show that there are all kinds of people, and all of them are beautiful in their own way.

As to the reason for the magazine pictures: more about that in my next posting.
