You don’t need a Kardashian to tell you that selfies are all about angles. For every one selfie an Instagram model posts on social media, there are approximately 392 ones that will forever be in the camera roll grave yard. Sad. When it comes to Instagram modeling (I can’t believe that’s a term), perception isn’t every thing, it’s the only thing. Giving off the impression that you don’t have a wrinkle or roll can be the difference between thousands of followers and dollars. Are you ready for a depressing stat, bruh? The three highest ranking Instagram models are Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevigne, and Gigi Hadid — who can net anywhere between $125,000 and $300,000 per post. For context, the average American makes $51,000 a year. Economies of scale is a bitch, bruh.
Anyhoo, if that fact doesn’t get you down, it may hurt you to know that a lot of these bodies are not what they seem. Famed fitness instructor Anna Victoria to Instagram to show her 1.1 million followers how a bit of posturing can turn a realistic body type into a fat-free, washboard abbed machine.
The caption reads:
‘Me 1% of the time vs. 99% of the time. And I love both photos equally.
‘Good or bad angles don’t change your worth. I recently came across an article talking about how one woman stated she refuses to accept her flaws, because she doesn’t see them as flaws at all.
‘I LOVED that because it sends such a powerful message that our belly rolls, cellulite, stretch marks are nothing to apologize for, to be ashamed of, or to be obsessed with getting rid of!’
Nice, I can finally feel content with my bitch tits.
Anna, if you’re reading this, I don’t think you have much to be ashamed of.
