Bodacious Bodies.

<p>I shouldn&rsquo;t be passing judgement here, having never worn a body shaper. I remember author, Susan Orleans, describing them as &ldquo;stuffing a sleeping bag into a sack.&rdquo; That image alone is enough to turn me off cramming myself into anything.</p> <p>One of my greatest disappointments was watching&nbsp;<em>The Misfits</em>, a 1961 American neo-western starring Marilyn Monroe. There&rsquo;s a shot of her running from the water in a bikini, her tummy flopping around like, I mean, it was&nbsp;<em>really&nbsp;</em>flopping.</p> <p>Now fast forward to Sara Blakely, the inventor of Spanx. In an interview, Sara said the idea came to her when she cut the feet off a pair of control pantyhose. &ldquo;I looked fabulous,&rdquo; she said.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/illumination/bodacious-bodies-42467a8b4250"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
