 The three folds of her belly, so like the rolls of flesh that are here on the stomach, the three folds of her belly were arranged like the steps of Kamdev's mansion and the line of hair down her abdomen was drawn with the same dark beauty as the honeybees that form the Love God's bowstring. These gorgeous lines are from a seventh century book called the Shakumar Charita and basically in times gone by having three folds of flesh on your tummy and a dark line of hair running down the middle of your stomach was considered the ultimate standard of beauty for a woman and I have to say I absolutely loved the idea because it's so inclusive, it's so natural, it's all about being a real woman but I also think that when you start setting standards of beauty for women, when you start creating boxes of what a woman should or shouldn't look like, there's always someone left out. So here's the thing, whether you have one fold of flesh on your tummy or three or six or none at all, you are much more than the size of your waist. You are beautiful because you are you. Your waistline does not define who you are.
