Amy Schumer's Response to Her Nude Pirelli Calendar Shoot Is Yet Another Reason We Love Her

Oh, Amy Schumer, we love you because you are real, just like us. This photo of you posing half-naked in your lacy undies and heels with coffee cup in hand for the 2016 Pirelli calendar is awesome on its own, but you went ahead and amplified its awesomeness with this caption on your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feeds:

"Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you Annie Leibovitz!"

This is what beauty is. Amy's bravery and confidence are what make her stunningly gorgeous. And sexy! Damn! This photo reminds us that this is what real women look like, not the photoshopped ones we constantly see in magazines. The world needs to see more photos like these because — and this might blow society's mind — women have belly rolls and cellulite and stretch marks. And the more we expose this real side of women's bodies, the more women will love their bodies. So thank you, Amy, for openly loving your normal and beautiful body — you're inspiring more women than you know. And her facial expression is just the cherry on top. She's like, "Yeah, I'm hot. I know it. And now you know it too. Now shut up and let me drink my coffee in peace."
