Title: Cruel Trolls Tell Me to Cover Up - But I'll Never Stop Flaunting My Amazing Mum Curves

Article Start

A woman is proudly showing off her body and has called out trolls who say she shouldn't post in her underwear.

Samantha Pamela became popular online when she started sharing 'Get Ready With Me' videos where she showcases outfits for 'midsize' women and mums who are looking for flattering fashion pieces. The mum has over 91,600 followers on social media and proudly shows off her "fuller bust" and "mum tum".

In a bid to help women find the right bra sizes, flattering lingerie, and swimwear, Samantha - known as Midsize Sammi - can often be seen flaunting her figure in underwear on her social media. She has been inundated with backlash from "hurtful" trolls who tell her to cover up, but Samantha insists she is "doing this for a reason".

But the content creator says she won't let the cruel remarks get her down. Speaking to the media, Sammi said: "While most of the messages are positive and encouraging, there are some negative comments on my videos, even from other women saying they don't think I should be in my underwear.

"It's hurtful at times and I have found these kinds of comments hard to ignore in the past but as time has gone on I've learnt to deal with them." She continued: "I just remind myself why I started my account. I want to inspire other women."

Sammi wants other women who have had children, or are mid-size and above, to feel special in what they wear and not feel like they have to hide their bodies. Her goal is to help women dress to "embrace your curves".

She explained: "The main benefit is feeling like I have a purpose, I know I'm helping other women to accept the bodies they have and know they aren't the only ones with lumps and bumps and more."

The confident mum, who uses her "mum body" as her "strength", continued: "Having a 'mummy tummy' had a big impact on my confidence, and I just didn't see other women online showing the same kind of postpartum body as me. So I thought if I started to show mine, then other women could look at me and feel valued and seen."

Speaking about the impact she has had, Sammi said one of the best messages she's ever received involved a woman who planned on having surgery on her stomach. Sammi said: "She couldn't afford it but was not able to accept her body as it was. She messaged me to say since finding my account she cancelled her appointment and has changed her mind on surgery.

"This was the most amazing message to read and honestly, I think about it all the time. To have that impact on somebody is just unbelievable. I think about that whenever I feel doubtful or need to remind myself of why I started this account."

NEXT: Is 'color analysis' real? I put the viral TikTok phenomenon to the test − and was shocked.
Sitting in a chair, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Brenda Cooper, a stylist, author, and professional color analyst, was draping two different shades of orange fabric under my chin over my gray apron. One shade was bright and bold, the other soft and muted. According to Cooper, one of these oranges harmonized with my complexion, while the other did not. In her words, one was "my orange." At this stage of our color analysis session, I squinted, trying to discern any difference. Cooper had warned me at the beginning that this might happen. She confessed that she, too, couldn't see a significant difference when she first had her colors analyzed years ago. Now, she claims the difference is as clear as day to her, and she believes people subconsciously gravitate towards her when she's wearing her optimal colors. Color analysis, the process of identifying your most complementary color palette, is not a new concept. It has been a practice among stylists since the 1970s and '80s. However, it's currently experiencing a resurgence on TikTok, largely thanks to Gen Z, who are newly discovering its appeal. On TikTok, young people approach color analysis in various ways. Some use filters and computer simulators, while others pay hundreds of dollars for professional consultations. A few even travel to South Korea, where they believe the best color analysts are located. Many of the color analysis videos on TikTok are captivating, showing people’s complexions seemingly brighten and skin tones even out just by changing the color held under their chins. These videos often garner millions of views but also attract skepticism. Commenters frequently question whether editing or filters are involved, and opinions vary on which shade looks best. Cooper insists that wearing the right colors can make a significant difference. "It's something that is very much overlooked because people look at color, and they purchase or wear the colors they like to look at," she explains. "Wearing a color is a completely different thing. I often say that people fall in love with colors that aren't in love with them." My session with Cooper left me intrigued. While I initially struggled to see the difference, I couldn't help but notice a subtle but undeniable shift in my appearance as we experimented with different colors. The experience made me appreciate the potential impact of color analysis, even if I remain a bit skeptical.
