14 DAY TRIAL // Pink is not the kind of girl who is known for a thin frame. The three-time Grammy Awards winner is known to be a bit on the hulky side, but that doesn't mean that she's ashamed of her body. To prove it, she agreed to lose all of her clothes for the latest cover of the Who Magazine Body Issue.
The singer wanted to prove that she has great confidence in her body, something that can be seen right from the cover, where a smiling Pink clutches her knees at her chest, thus covering it from the eye of the camera.
In the interview she gave the magazine, she proudly states that “I'm in the best shape of my life,” something that is obvious from that big grin on her face in the photo on the cover. All covered in tattoos, Pink shows off her punk-rock side, but also her feminine side.
She claims that her body confidence comes “When I know I'm fit.” This is despite the fact that, at the moment, she's “ten pounds [4.5kg] heavier” than she was before her pregnancy. She explains that her new view on life has helped her a lot “I'm so much more patient with myself.”
Few people know this, but the singer was actually a child gymnast. She credits the sport with shaping her perceptions on the perfect body image: “instead of thinking, ‘Am I skinny?’ I grew up thinking, ‘Am I fast enough? How can I use my body?”
Finally, she admits that she's not the thinnest woman out there, but she's fine with that, “I’m a person who could always lose a couple [pounds] here and there, but I would rather be strong than bony.”
That's exactly the kind of thinking she wants to instill in her 3-year-old daughter Willow, who apparently is a big fan of bodies uninhibited by the burden of clothes. Pink jokes that her daughter proposed to her that they have a party where people didn't wear any clothes. “I'm in!” exclaimed the singer.
Apart from her healthy views of the human body, Pink has also been keeping up with her charity efforts, and she has shown her support for the Sydney community group Youth Off the Streets. She graciously lent her song “The Great Escape” to this organization aimed at giving homes to children who have none.
In a video for a TV campaign made by the organization, the singer can be heard saying “I want to … give these kids a fighting chance.”
