Skinny, it’s more than a word—it’s a societal chokehold. A lifelong battle with scales, shapewear and shifty surgeons. But there’s an alternative! Backed by a powerhouse band, multi-award-winning vocalist and cabaret performer Michelle Pearson dishes up a stunning blend of pop anthems, soaring ballads and raw, real storytelling. With eye-opening interviews, this inspiring work unpacks society’s toxic obsession with diet culture urging us to rethink what beauty truly means. Heartfelt, relatable and uplifting, it’s a celebration of every shape, every size and every person who’s ever looked in the mirror and wondered: is this slimming?
This multi-award-winning work from Australia delves into the cruel and extraordinary things we do to ‘fix’ our bodies. It challenges toxic beauty ideals and calls time on the world’s obsession with being skinny.
