'Hilda shows us that at some time someone else found big girls' curves sensual, silliness sexy, softness endearing, confidence bold and bare skin beautiful. But she recalls more than that, too,' she wrote.
'Much like the art of Norman Rockwell, Bryers' Hilda reminds us of playful, sweet, and carefree days gone by. While all the images in her Revising Hilda series are playful and fun, she explained on her website that Bryers' paintings are also a much-needed celebration of full-figured bodies. 'I've made peace with my body long ago, and I hope I'm helping more people do the same,' she told at the time. In 2015, she went viral for stripping down to just a bikini in a public market and inviting strangers to draw hearts on her exposed skin. Pence-Brown has more than 23,000 Instagram followers, and she uses her social media platform and blog to inspire others to be proud of their bodies no matter what shape or size they are. 'Like me, real-life Hilda would have had belly rolls for days.' 'It's remarkable how spot-on at times he renders her dimples and rolls and double-chin, but in others he puts her body in positions that are just not humanly possible, like this one,' she noted. 'Here was a body that looked more like mine than many others I'd ever seen revered as something sexy enough to be on a flirty calendar,' she wrote of Hilda.Ĭelebration: Hilda shows us that at some time someone else found big girls' curves sensual, silliness sexy, softness endearing, confidence bold and bare skin beautiful,' she wrote
Pence-Brown explained on her website that hundreds of images of Hilda have resurfaced, and over the years, she has seen them shared by other fat activists as well as in body-positive circles. Hilda, one of America's longest-running pin-up girls, was nearly forgotten until the online gallery ToilGirls published prints of Bryers' paintings of the character in 2013, a year after the artist's death. Not only was the character one of the only plus-sized pin-up girls of her time, but she also displayed a fun, carefree, and somewhat clumsy attitude, making her all the more charming.

The classic 1950s pin-up girl was slim and conventionally posed, but Hilda broke the mold with her full figure and lighthearted demeanor. Recreation: Pence-Brown, 44, was inspired by Bryers' paintings of Hilda when she started her Reviving Hilda project in 2017
