Iskra Lawrence Underwear Sermons on the Subway (VIDEO)

Iskra Lawrence, the less attractive British version of Ashley Graham, hit the New York City subway to explain to random people trudging to and from real jobs how far she’s come in her own body acceptance. She referred to moving from an unhappy teen staring at her cellulite in the mirror to making random strangers on public transit stare at her cellulite as “a journey”. Then she announced how she was making herself “very vulnerable”. Which belied the fact she was the one forcing herself on everybody else. Still, a few errant assumptions are nothing compared to making a successful YouTube video.

The men on the train mostly looked away because they were raised not to look at strippers who talk a lot and never naked. There’s no more useless human behavior.

I strip down to share my voice and use my power to start a conversation about the relationship with ourselves and each other.  

Lawrence’s message about how societal imposed beauty standards force women to strive for impossible body proportions seemed lost on the tired commuters. There are numerous major modeling agencies and women’s magazines producing office memos on how to make the world more anorexic literally right above you. This was obviously a cynical stunt designed to earn you money rather than put anything meaningful at risk.

Showing your tits would’ve given this venture more purpose. Slacktivism is what’s making America fat. With the British, probably creme-filled pastries.
