I am not the world's biggest fan of Meghan Trainor, though I must confess that I do in fact appreciate her love of doing more complex lyrics and harmonies than is typical in contemporary music, but it saddens me to hear of her plastic surgery troubles--apparently a face that will not move well after too much Botox, a planned breast surgery, and who knows what else?
It reminds me of one of the songs that made her famous, All About That Bass, her natural and beautiful smile, and her insistence that her decidedly non-size-2 body was indeed beautiful. And while I had reservations about the song's obvious feminism and "body positivity", the overall notion that a woman could be a little bigger and still be seen as beautiful is well taken, and it's sad to see that, in a way, Ms. Trainor has "fallen off the wagon."
And so I pray for her to come back on that wagon with all of us other imperfectly beautiful people. Plenty of room and fellowship for us all.
