June 20, -- In a world of extreme makeovers where human bodies are now fashioned to order, this may be the ultimate plastic surgery. It is for women only. It is veiled in secrecy.
Emily Ratajkowski is beautiful. She has a beautiful face, a beautiful body. I think, should her debut collection of essays, My Body , have pretended otherwise, I may have thrown it across the room. But it does quite the opposite. It actively engages with it; it quite literally naval-gazes her naval. The model and actress, now 30, shot to instant fame, aged 21, as 'that naked girl in the Blurred Lines video' — a moment which immediately cemented her body as her USP. That she has chosen her body as the central tenet of her essay collection, many might view as a facetious, yet that notion feeds into exactly what Ratajkowski is keen to analyse: female beauty and why we celebrate and commodify it as much as we diminish the intelligence of those who possess it. But make no mistake, My Body is an excellent — if we excuse the pun — body of work. Ratajkowski writes with curiosity, intellect, and an acute awareness, even celebration of, the thorny, messy web of contradictions that make up our relationship with female bodies. When she speaks with me over Zoom from the New York apartment she shares with her husband, the film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, and their eight-month old son, Sylvester Apollo, she reiterates the central inconsistency of her book and, of course, her life: Emily Ratajkowski is sick of being reduced to just a body, but Emily Ratajkowski has often reduced herself to just a body.
