I am able to talk about my life in a way that helps other women – and men, but mostly women – understand their own life. I feel real proud of that. And then the fact that my children are okay. You know, you’re only as happy as your least happy child. So if your kids aren’t okay, you’re not good.

In film, the camera can get an array of shots so the audience can see the emotion the character is giving off. Using close-ups on the character’s face really helps get the message across.

If wearing the Spanx helps you get looks, and you feel that energy and response, and you’re rocking your body with confidence, that’s still how you’ll feel about yourself when you get home and take the Spanx off… If your attitude improves from the Spanx, wear the Spanx!
