Bodies to show for. Obesity, deformity, and perfection. The standard and the ideal, the fictional. The promise of beauty’s fulfillment. Healthy and unhealthy bodies. Successful and unsuccessful bodies. Wanted and unwanted bodies. Clothes made for selling, on bodies made for sale. Bodily advertisements show investments.
