Solange Knowles reveals autonomic disorder diagnosis
After model Diana Sirokai saw an ad that Gigi Hadid posed almost naked for, she wondered if she could pose the same way. “I saw how Gigi looks so amazing on this ( as always). I was wondering how other body types would look on such an amazing ad like this. I wanted to recreate it to inspire others that we are all beautiful and worth being on an ad,” Diana told Insider, adding that she hopes to inspire all types of women and open brands’ view on using different types of models.
Not only did she strip down and posed as Gigi, but also superimposed her picture and the original ad together. “I was just wondering how a model my size would look on this,” she captioned the photo on Instagram. In the past, Diana had recreated a photo of Kim Kardashian posing in a bathing suit. Diana, who was bullied for her body and modelling, said that Kim and Gigi inspire her. One fan wrote in the comments, “I actually prefer your photo. Your curves look great!” Singer Solange Knowles revealed on Instagram on Wednesday that she has cancelled her New Year’s Eve performance in South Africa. She captioned a photo of herself, “Wrote, deleted and rewrote this like five times. Still not sure what exactly or how much I want to share. However it’s so important to me for the people in South Africa, a place that has tremendous meaning to me and that has given me so much, to know why I won’t be performing at Afro Punk this NYE ( sic).”
“The past five months I have been quietly treating, and working through an Autonomic Disorder. It has been a journey that hasn’t been easy on me. Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all,” she wrote, adding, “It’s a complicated diagnoses, and I’m still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after. As a part of the self care that I’ve tried to encourage this past year, it needs to start with myself, and I’m looking forward to doing a better job of this 2018.”
