Girls! Let's laugh together at our terrible body image issues, fears, and overthinking problems. "Too fat, too thin, too round, too flat, too much pizza, not enough yoga," we are all perfect and beautiful and let's try to leave it at that!

My name is Rachel Lev and I am a French artist and illustrator. I create colorful and funny drawings in order to describe some of my everyday life. My work is focused on the before-mentioned low self-esteem issues and devastating body image that many girls are facing nowadays. Inspired by the everyday problems of young women, these cartoon drawings depict the self-destructive side of our mind, but with humor, colors, softness, and irony. The more twisted our mind is, the funnier the drawing ideas are!

So, drama queens, don't hesitate and share with me your worst girl problems - we will create great jokes about them and turn them into funny situations! To me, body positivity is a mantra - my work encourages self-love and strong women empowerment. We should all laugh at our mundane problems, whether they're big or small because we all have the same ones. So, let's support each other and always try to find a silver lining.

Uhm, well....you do realize that this is not only happening to women? That us men feel the same, disgusting obese monster that some of us are or have become. It is just as damaging to both genders. (just saying, I am sure that this is just drawn from her perspective instead of excluding males)

The more I tried to sleep the more it is that my brain keeps opening closed boxes of forgotten memories and dreams.

I was bullied into buying a wedding dress I hated because the salesladies were pushy and guilted me into it

My mother has issues with weight, and it's hard to stifle the impulse to say anything to make her feel better... even lie- As I've grown up I've learned there are better alternatives and a way to deliver honesty more gently, being helpful without lying. But I understand the impulse. This is not an easy skill to obtain, and the path to it goes through many hurt feelings.

Here's how it should really be done: (and nothing anywhere close to this was ANYWHERE in our training videos!) Hm, I appreciate your choice of color and texture, however I think we can do better for the shape and construction. If you like the color and sparkles let me go get you something else. I'll be right back. Did any of my experienced bosses hand me this information, or the delicate way of delivering said info? No, I learned it the hard way, by seeing unhappy women and being naive and well-meaning. And getting yelled at. A lot. Cut salespeople a break. Especially if they seem inexperienced. Don't compare your body in that dress to the salesperson or mannequin, then take it out on people. News flash- it doesn't even look good on the mannequin, they make us put pins on the top to make it look more flattering. It's a practice I always felt was deceptive, and silly me, I could just never remember to do it... If it's shaped like a sack, or skintight like a glove- odds are it's c**p.

You try ONE TIME telling a customer that dress doesn't work on them. See how easy it is... @___@ It's not clearcut and no one will make up their mind, do you want honesty, encouragement? it's all about reading people and sometimes we read it wrong. Either way any excuse to yell at us, right? Maybe you'll get the thing fifty cents cheaper if you crush our souls.

I've never yelled at a sales person - I think they have a bloody horrible job, dealing with annoying people and on their feet all day long. Though if I want an opinion I take someone who knows me - spares us all some trauma.

That exercise is really bad for my shoulder and neck. Just learnt from a physiotherapist to keep my head on the floor, and move my legs up instead. Wow! I love my p' therapist.!!!
