Recreating Magazine Covers (but body positive)

[@SierraSchultzzie]

I wanted to recreate magazines that were just sitting at the checkout of my grocery store, the everyday ones that we all see! But, it could be fun to do another video where I recreate really famous magazine covers that are super iconic. What do you think??

Wish magazines wouldn’t hyper-sexualize women. This really speaks volumes about not only what is expected of women’s bodies, but how they’re expected to display them.

Men get sexualized on magazine covers too lol

[@k.....................]

@FitTallGayBlond why feel the need to call somebody a bitch?

[@greytgreytx]

@@maddieek6865 Yeah, but there's a heteronormative pressure for women to appeal to the male eye in a way that isn't there for men. Like men need to look good to impress other guys, but women need to look good to appeal to men. AND the sex tips for women are, in my experience, also geared toward pleasing men because it's like if you don't do this, you could lose your man. Whereas hetero dudes only need to have sex skills as a bonus because they don't need to worry about this kind of thing.

Basically, making her point that the magazines appeal to and weaponize insecurities women might have in order to sell magazines.

Gaining weight at this rapid rate is not okay for you..

[@jen092009]

It’s also important to remember that the model on the cover most likely didn’t follow a fad diet or a “fast” workout to get to where she is. She changed her lifestyle and worked hard for it. And it would be great for those influential people to stand up and have a say in what the cover or articles read.

[@MelissaMabe]

The demographic for that fitness magazine is for people that are trying to change their bodies (and compete in bikini competitions) so yes, they are going to focus on working out & getting results. Most people that compete only prep/train for a few months (because they don't train/eat like that all year). Just wanted to shed some light on why those articles are a thing for that type of magazine. I wouldn't say that magazine is for "normal" women.

[@MelissaMabe]

@@mere1586 I'm a fat girl & don't get offended by something that isn't marketed to me...

[@MelissaMabe]

A fitness magazine promoting to people that are wanting to be fitness experts or care about their fitness shouldn't be offending people that don't care about their fitness. Its not directed at everyone... Nothing is going to be marketed/targeted towards everyone. I have a friend who does bikini competitions and she has a VERY different mindset towards food & the gym, and guess what, we're still friends and get along. This magazine is marketed towards girls like her, not me.

[@jcb444]

As a personal trainer I'm struck most by the HERS magazine cover. I especially loved your thoughts on how it's not a race. A lot of people give up because they think they need to get fit FAST, but really that's not what it's about. However, I will say the sculpting a butt and legs part. As someone that can appreciate the science and work ethic it takes to BUILD muscles I don't think that's a negative title. I personally LOVE that more and more women are looking to build big legs and glute muscles.

[@juniper_woods9508]

I was confused by that one as well. I thought there was nothing wrong with any of the headlines on that magazine except the one of fitter and faster. and was confused as to why they felt they needed to be edited? You can enjoy yummy and healthy pasta. like those arent exclusive.

A thought I had when you were talking about the last cover, I'm almost 100% sure the woman on the cover didn't do any "quick fixes" to get to where she is. They surround her with the headlines to lead people to believe if they follow what's inside, they'll look like her, even though most likely she has an intense fitness routine and eats healthy. You can't win 2 bikini competitions overnight!

As somebody who is training to compete in a bikini show, this comment is super important to me. I’ve lost 12lbs just this past month and that didn’t happen without insane diet and exercise. I will say, my diet isn’t sustainable long term and is meant for competition, but that doesn’t take away from the fact I’ve worked so hard for it. I hate how health and fitness are demonized because of this “body positivity” movement. There is nothing wrong with working out to achieve physical appearance goals you set within yourself.

[@joycetam3947]

People can be beautiful at any shapes or sizes, but people can't be healthy at any shapes or sizes. As a matter of fact, people who are too thin or too fat have a higher chance of developing chronic diseases. Body positivity should be about loving your body at any moment and appreciating its beauty, but also loving your body enough to get it healthy, be it involving weight loss/ weight gain or not.

I completely agree with you. People can do whatever they want, but they shouldn’t push the false narrative that they are physically healthy because they are happy with their bodies. You can be happy and acknowledge that you’re not perfect and you have things to work on. But most of the time, its hard to tell when somebody truly is unhealthily skinny or fat unless it’s an extreme case.

[@eline8109]

I feel like only women’s magazines focus on sex so much, because women are often expected to please the man and not the other way around.

[@mimiilije7141]

[@BelladonnaHarker]

Men's magazines should do this. Imagine GQ Men -have a front page and article, about how to please a woman....because apparently some men are lacking

[@dinkyboss]

BelladonnaHarker to be fair if you actually read a lot of those articles they do tend to have tips geared more towards a women’s pleasure. I haven’t read a magazine in over a year but I did enjoy reading sex tips in cosmo or harpers bizarre or vogue because they gave some solid advice a lot of the time. And these days the advice is much more broad and they offer advice on gay relationships, older women, Ace women etc. it’s easy to just see sex on the cover and make assumptions but the advice is fairly varied.

[@brookelee9745]

For me I see it the opposite way of women should take control in the bedroom instead of waiting around for a guy to just tell you what to do🤷🏼‍♀️ the great thing about sex is getting to experiment. Where is i think women can get self conscious about trying new things or seeming “slutty”or “raunchy”. To me I think it normalizing trying new things and taking control. Because at the end of the day we want to please our guys. 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

[@misspoppinsss5282]

I know bigger people are into weight lifting too, who are not shredded. Maybe if the weight lifting community is more inclusive it wouldn't scare bigger people to go into the gym or look into weight lifting. I get what you mean, but here's my opinion.

[@Morganlaine16]

Most of the time though you weight lift in order to get smaller. Guys typically and some women like to bulk but I feel overall most people are in it to lose weight and lean out or it would kind of be pointless unless you are a body builder for competition. Not many people are in my crossfit gym that are bigger there to stay that way. Honestly you just have to be confident in yourself to get past your insecurities in order to see results.

Therefore what Sierra and other body positivity activists are trying to illustrate is that yes, smaller bodies are beautiful, but they already (for the most part) get the attention and acceptance that all bodies deserve, so let’s celebrate bigger bodies, too! It’s not a matter of shaming smaller bodies like those on the magazine covers rather it’s saying bigger bodies should be on the cover, too!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with working out for aesthetic changes... it's fascinating to see my body change with working out and in my opinion, I look better as a size au8 than I do when I’m a size au10 or au12. I think we need to be realistic about the fact that people can have different opinions and even though I’m a fan of yours and respect your opinion, mine is different (and that's ok too). In some ways, the body positivity movement can be kinda shamey about women who want to change their bodies for purely aesthetic reasons, without understanding that wanting to lose weight (for example) doesn't need to come from a place of self hatred or self punishment, and doesn't mean that the way I think about my body necessarily applies to how I think about others (not that it really matters anyway)

I'm currently in the middle of a health journey. I joined the weight watchers back in January this year. I've been struggling with my mental health for years, and my relationship with food was not good. I ate when I was sad, and happy or worried or anxious. So I gained a lot of weight. And I've been a big girl all my life. A year ago, I got diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, and that was the start of my journey to really concentrate on getting the help I needed for my depression as well as learning to live with and accepting my Autism diagnose. And I'm getting there. with a lot of support from some awesome people around me :) And the weight watchers has helped me a lot. Partly with loosing weight, yes, but more importantly; just feeling AND being healthier, and re-learning what food is supposed to mean for me. Something I had lost completely for many years.

Mitsu Hiko right. Likes it’s ok to be overweight and love yourself, but it’s not ok to lay on your couch and eat McDonalds all day regardless of what size you are. I think some people forget that when promoting body positivity and unintentionally endorse morbid obesity. Instead of changing the articles to remove all notions of fitness and exercise from the article titles, she should have changed the reason for going. Bad article: How to workout to cut weight fast Better article: How to workout to feel energized for your day

[@rachel8331]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[@ssabrrinaa]

Jackie While I see your point, your statement of “no body at a size 20 can be healthy” is completely false. I’m a size 24 and guess what? My insides, my body, is perfectly healthy. I’ve gone to the doctor and do yearly tests to ensure it. Being bigger doesn’t always mean unhealthy. Don’t make statements that generalize.

[@teamaeblue896]

Totally disagree that no size 20 is healthy that’s the equivalent of saying no size 0-2 can be healthy. I agree most size 20 probably would benefit from some weight loss but I know some very healthy size 20. Think of different breeds of horses Arabian to Clydesdale we are all different

[@alexandraschroeder5275]

Wait... “the original clickbait” is magazines. That is TOO TRUE!!

[@dinkyboss]

Alexandra Schroeder idk if it’s click bait to say hey this magazine contains an article about sex and then has an article about sex though. Idk if I get her logic on that one. I’m assuming by click bait she meant they’re claiming one thing on the cover and the article has nothing to do with it. Like if they said “cool new sex techniques to try on your younger man!” but the article inside is about how to make flan lol

[@MirandaInCanada]

Honestly I never thought of it that way until now! So true!!!

[@justinemadigan9620]

This is a breath of fresh air! I feel stronger and more confident in my own skin now than I have in a long time. I love your beautiful energy and positivity!

[@citysprites]

these videos always make me cry. As a teenager who’s a little bigger then she’d like to be, it means the world to me when people show me I can be beautiful no matter what my weight is. I needed this. Thank you.

[@bradynicolehill4297]

Cosmopolitan has always been sex orientated. That’s their shtick.

[@SmileySynne]

I'm the same age as Sierra, and I'm also a full time wheelchair user. I've been active my whole life, doing different sports, and working out, but in my teens I got extremely depressed by the fact that I could never be thin, and I thought I was lazy and out of shape... Now it's all about fitness again, and I'm healthier than ever, both in body and in mind ❤

[@keskeskes2004]

Love this Sierra! Although, saying one can be physically healthy at any shape and size isn't necessarily true...however, loving yourself at any shape and size is a wonderful and inspiring message! So happy you made this ❤

[@madisonflynt1146]

I just love how you talked about fitness and health being a way for long term happiness and health , not for fast weight loss . So many people in my life think I'm not working out or eating healthy just because I'm not dropping weight and getting thinner. I prefer fitness as a long term goal. Love this video so much! I also love that you empowered the women on the cover.

[@PattiLynnQ]

The gold dress is my FAVORITE!!!! 🥰❤️❤️

[@beckyboop9386]

I really liked your headlines, they were really great and I would love to read articles like that. I feel like fitness magazines should feature healthy women of all sizes, like I can tell by your body shape that you do go to the gym and eat healthy, but you are still a full figure which you love and i wish more fitness magazines featured all shapes and life styles, some people dont have the time or desire to look like a fitness model, but everybody would love to see a body like theirs featured on a magazine, because our bodies are beautiful and powerful too! Thanks for you body positivity you always put a smile on my face! You look great in every photo! 👏👏👏

[@jaylovesgee]

Sierra is such a role model. Honestly the most inspirational person I have ever seen. Sierra inspires me with every video to love myself and be comfortable with every part of myself and I love feeling like that. Thankyou so much Sierra for everything you do for the world

[@bayleivorce4210]

When you were talking about people telling you to go to the gym, I really related. The problem also occurs when you are bigger (I’m a size 18 generally) and it’s hard to find athletic clothes that make you feel confident without breaking the bank. Fabletics is the only brand that stands out to me as plus size athletic wear.

[@dianaslade4228]

Calia by Carrie Underwood is another good brand with plus sizing, and when it gets discounted, it’s a steal.

[@bayleivorce4210]

Diana Slade thank you!!!

[@brookelee9745]

I can see where you’re coming from with the sex sells convo. But i do think these things sell because women want to know new sex tips or “trends” to feel empowered in the bedroom and keep things fresh. It’s perspective. I would walk by that Iggy magazine and be like oooh boss girl in the bedroom, get it. I don’t think using sex to sell is demeaning unless you’re taking advantage of those involved.

[@brookelee9745]

Although i don’t read magazines so the articles could be 🤷🏼‍♀️ i’m going off first glance

[@brotnov2005]

Love that you are a role model for my daughter...& for me, even though I'm 42 years old... you teach me new things & have really helped me embrace loving my body. Thank you Sierra!

[@NKUpsychology]

What you're doing is so healing for women of all sizes who watch you. I can't be grateful enough for your content. I wish you had a magazine, I'd buy every issue!

[@RachaelLyn]

"The original clickbait" I never thought of this, but SO TRUE!! How many magazines did I buy in my teens and early 20's because of the "clickbaity" titles? Way too many!

[@suzannalee7472]

Thank you Sierra. Thank you for this, for this series. For showing me there is no one definition of beauty. That happy and healthy is the most beautiful you can be. I’ve hated my body for so long until I discovered you. I have been on my personal fitness journey for two years now, and while I get discouraged sometimes, you remind me that trying your hardest and having a little body fat, some rolls, some stretch marks and cellulite and scars is all okay and beautiful. So thank you for being here and spreading body positivity in such a loving and fun way ❤️

[@mackenzievanwarmerdam8973]

Recreating the photos that you edited the heck out of (you had a whole video about them about a year ago) would be interesting and would really show your body positivity journey I think. Love this series though!

[@artist2527]

You're videos are so light and happy! Your channel is honestly a channel to go to when u feel upset or insecure! You're always so positive and have such a bubbly attitude and I love it so much🥺😭😭

[@stephaniebfi4297]

Your recreations were great and you look beautiful. I do think you're overthinking magazines. They have target markets and in the Hers case a niche market. Not everything is for everybody. Just my thought.

[@DudeSame]

You are always so well spoken. I appreciate how you always explain how you feel and you word it so well without putting other people down.

[@ally5259]

Love how you do everything body positive!💕

[@MrDevil-jb1fl]

Idk I feel like you didn’t need to change some of those captions for the fitness magazine. It’s a fitness magazine...it’s for fitness. A magazine focusing on losing weight isn’t not “body positive.” But you looked great in all of them.

[@velvetstonebraker9874]

This is my FAVORITE series.

[@carolinalemstrom9818]

and she's done it again. thank you for everything you're doing! it means so much more than you can ever imagine. also thank u for making my Friday. I'm sitting in my cozy bed, sipping my Friday tea with my scented candles watching your vids. you are a true queen. please do more of these

[@kamogelomaile]

Omg you in that pink blazer dress!!! YES!

[@nikkiskaleidoscope3053]

I love that you are not ashamed to say that magazines sexualize women WAY TOO much! GO SIERRA!!!! :D

[@reeganprete5959]

Sierra, I’ve been watching you for about a year now. And I have to say you have shown me exactly what being body positive looks like. Thank you for spreading this much needed message❤️

[@Corneliaw90]

Sierra, you are so incredible at being truly body positive!!! I love that you never shame the women on the cover, or anyone who has different goals than you. It's been super uplifting to watch your videos, and really helps me re-evaluate toxic behaviours I have when it comes to my own appearance. I've always struggled with my body image, sometimes to a dangerous degree, and watching your videos has really improved the way I view my own body. Thank you girl!!!! You seem like you're beautiful inside and out! xoxo

[@AnaSantos-xy9mo]

I loved the recreations! But mostly I love that you focus on how the magazines should change their methods and marketing techniques and that this is not the models’ fault

[@ameliewutrich6863]

I will buy a magazine with You're writing on it even if I live in Switzerland. We need that kind of kindness in "normal" media.

[@irenecatharina5380]

I love how you kept empowering the women in the photo's and instead attacked the toxic articles! Good job on this, Sierra :).

[@sophiascheiner7194]

Hey, Sierra! I just want to say: Not only do I LOVE your body positivity AND your encouragement to help others to get on the way to it, but I can't tell how thankful I am that you include LITERALLY EVERY BODY TYPE there is in it. You focus entirely on happiness and health, like that is SUCH A GREAT MESSAGE!! Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! This really means a lot!!

[@peachyeffinkeen]

Devils advocate: Sex can be empowering for women too.

[@cowgirlcityboy]

I completely agree, and that narrative should absolutely be included in the conversation about sex. I think the problem is when magazines talk about women's role in sex being just to please a man..when it's definitely not

[@haggisa]

ryepie The thing is, none of the titles shown on those covers suggested that. Sierra contradicts herself here - saying we should openly talk about sex in one breath, and claiming the word „sex” next to a photo of a woman is demeaning in the next one. There’s nothing demeaning about talking about sex.

[@betsybabf748]

@@cowgirlcityboy That is not true and hasn't been true in over 30 years. Many articles are how to have great sex or about the female orgasm. Some are about pleasing your partner, but sex is a team effort so anyone having sex with another person should be wanting to also please their partner. What does degrade women is when women jump to claim everything is treating women as second class citizens, even when they have to twist things to do so. Strong, confident successful women don't do that, and we didn't raise our daughters to do that either.

[@bernienelson8926]

Absolutely. You can't be sex-positive and also think that it's demeaning for a woman to be associated with the word sex.

[@brittanyg6796]

Yeah, but body positivity is also empowering and that's not going on their covers.... They aren't slapping sex on the cover for empowerment - it's only for marketing.

[@mariahattford]

You are truly inspiring. I started watching you a couple months ago and your body positivity is unmatched. The way you recreated the Hers fitness magazine and changed the headlines made me tear up. You seriously are helping me find my way to love my own body. You are right, my abs don’t need rehab. Thank you so much for being an advocate for EVERY body.

[@rainyraelyn9649]

Loved the video, however staying fit and healthy is also important ♡ I love ya girl.

[@lexielynn03]

She said that... it's not about being "fit" that term is related to looks. It's about the INSIDE. So, it's about staying healthy. That's all just stay healthy. Which means eating right and moving your body. It doesnt mean having a ton of muscle.

[@okay__tay2775]

Your videos make me feel better. They make me feel more empowered. They are relatable and they remind me to be nicer to myself. I love these ones best because I feel like you bring back the reality to these magazines that set us up for unfair expectations. The changing in the headlines was so cool, very creative!

[@CaraMurchieliblet]

I love this. I would love to see more of these. Could you recreate some of the biggest ANTM shoots? I would love to see that! Also, thank you for touching on the health at every size and saying a variety of sizes instead of every size. Because you can absolutely be healthy and a size 2, 4, 6, 8,10, 12, 14, 16 etc, though not every size is healthy too small and too big are both unhealthy.

Ekkk Sierra I’ve never been this early please do a part two to this we need more positive body content on KZbin love you so such 💜💜💜💜

[@dbrown0496]

Phenomenal!!!!! THIS is why I subscribe to your channel. I’m 44 and the videos like this inspire me so much! Body positivity knows no age limits, and is something I JUST RECENTLY started practicing everyday. Also, I’ve never paid much attention to the headlines. I thought your highlights of the unnecessary subliminal messaging was enlightening. Well done Sierra!

[@hannaformakeup8248]

Did you ever thought about bringing out a body positive magazine? That would be amazing!!!

[@emilydouglas240]

Sierra, you are SO inspirational! I absolutely love these videos! You’re a light and a breath of fresh air in the KZbin/social media world! 💛

[@localcryptid740]

Another thing I noticed is that a lot of the sex-related advice in women’s magazines is aimed at giving pleasure to a male partner, but I hardly ever see advice in men’s magazines about making a female partner feel good. And a lot of men really need that advice!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eliseurquhart5911]

I literally love you. It's so hard to find a plus size girl who's completely unapologetic. I mean, even some of the bigger plus size celebrities that I always looked up to have started to thin out (Adele, Melissa McaCrthy, etc.) Thank you for staying you.

[@unicornsnowflake68]

Sierra, you're literally my role model! I love how you're super body positive while remaining respectful to the original models. You're such a beautiful and kind soul❤

[@brainstormedperson132]

I love that you never shame or talk negative about the models! Since I am a fan for over 1,5 years now, I really saw your journey in body positivity and I am so happy for you! Accepting EVERY body, yours and others, that for me is true body positivity and you have come soo far in the process. I really hope I will get there some day, too 😊🙈👍🏻

[@katherinejezierski4127]

Instead of “Sierra Unretouched,” it should have been “Sierra Unfiltered” 😁😁

[@chaucernerd1690]

I love the message. So many people confuse body positivity with thinking that we are saying all bodies are healthy or that it doesn’t matter. I’ve always seen the body positivity message as one of accepting the beauty inherent in everyone, and understanding that we are worthy of love, no matter our size, shape, skin colour, etc. Keep doing these covers. They’re wonderful. And thank you!

[@amberlyjolly7103]

for me the third redo cover was very hard hitting. it says that ur supposed to lose weight super fast and that isnt healthy for everyone.

[@dorissaclaire]

Sierra, thank you. We do not get enough reminders that health is not related body shape/size! I have struggled recently with *feeling* so much healthier, getting so much more activity, eating more consciously but actually gaining weight and stretch marks. Even doctors can gaslight us into believing we aren’t healthy because of our weight!

[@adamgarcia8880]

As a man who lives in a family of all women who are plus size and being some what bigger myself I can appreciate the fact that your videos are about confidence to bigger women I truly believe all women are beautiful regardless of body type

[@dipl8150]

I love the way you speak about body positivity because you acknowledge that health is a priority
