We were
honored to be a part of WIRC's Celebrating Women Event
held at the Sullivan Taylor coffee shop in Macomb.
One of the dances we performed was to
the song "I am the Body Beautiful" by Salt-N-Pepa.
In celebration of women everywhere,
we wrote messages across our stomachs about beauty,
age, and womanhood.
Here is an exerpt from the song:
Then I'm-a tell ya like this, and
I'm-a tell ya this way
My body's beautiful, that's all I'm sayin'
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes
You're beautiful, too, just realize this
Can't you see the beauty in me?
Open up your heart and set your mind free
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Express yourself every day
And when you got joy on the inside it shows on the
out
Be confident and you're beautiful without a doubt
You're absolutely gorgeous, don't ya know?
So you got the body beautiful glow
Body beautiful, baby (Work that body)
Body beautiful, baby (Work it, work it)
Body beautiful, baby (Work that body)
Body beautiful (I am body beautiful) that's me (word)
A special thanks to Patti Sullivan-Howd
