Fruth was originally inspired by the sex fantasy in American Beauty in which a middle-aged man imagines a thin, white, blonde-headed teenage girl on a petal of roses.
Carey shared, “Photographers are scared. They are scared that if they do something all inclusive and different from the current ideal of beauty that people will not come to their business.America is made up of all types of women. Women who are hungry to see themselves represented in a beautiful way. And why shouldn’t they?”.
