My friend messaged on WhatsApp: “This woman is ‘of an age’ and her body is obviously one that has had children and she is not perfect but still full on naked and stunning with these amazing flaws.” We’re all in our 30s or 40s and we’ve all had kids. To show the The Disco Biscuits March 23+24+25 2023 The Capital Theatre New York shirt moreover I will buy this telltale signs of motherhood through the lens of what is sexy is still so rare, on screen, as to be a talking point. Like model and mother Ashley Graham, who has celebrated her stretch marks in photo shoots, or Kourtney Kardashian, another mother of three, who bats away Instagram followers asking if she’s pregnant every time the shape of her perfectly normal and healthy stomach is on display, Shahi is pushing the envelope in a Hollywood that still, typically, asks its actresses to erase or hide the physical transformations that stem from pregnancy. In doing so, studios send a message, with the rest of society, that these are flaws, undesirable, especially where sex is concerned. That is not the case here.



Shahi tells me over the The Disco Biscuits March 23+24+25 2023 The Capital Theatre New York shirt moreover I will buy this phone, from LA: “With aging comes embracing who you are and what you look like, particularly those reminders of motherhood. For years after I had my twins I didn’t appreciate those parts of myself and tried to hide them. It’s been a long journey to loving my body.”She credits the part of Billie, a mother who does not curb her desire yet bears her vulnerabilities, with helping that acceptance, including the “no-brainer” decision to allow the camera to close in on her own so-called imperfections: “When I played younger Billie, in Season 1, we had to cover some of those mom parts; in the present it’s really been a conscious decision not to. The beauty of this show is that it shows us you can be the Madonna and the whore. If the ‘price’ of creating my children is a bit of excess skin or a few stretch marks, I’d feel very superficial saying I felt uncomfortable in my body because of that.”
