New York Magazine gets women to draw their own boobs

Date
1 June 2015

We’re aware that anything with “boobs” in the title could be seen as (scuse the pun) a play at titillitation. But we wanted to flag up New York Magazine’s piece in which New York women of all ages and backgrounds drew their own boobs, articulating in one cute image and one sentence how they feel about them. We see doodles from women aged from 17 to 72, covering topics as varied as seeing boobs as a “design piece” to breast cancer to late development to stretch marks. It’s a touching piece and project, that highlights not just people’s ongoing body-image struggles, but also, encouragingly, how many people are proud to say they’re boobs are “perfect.” Cheering findings indeed.
