Why DNCEβs New Video Toothbrush is so fucking important to me:
DNCE, whoβs frontman is Joe Jonas of Burnin Up fame, have snuck their way into the ears (and hearts) of everyone via Cake By The Ocean. Their newest video stars Ashley Graham, plus size model and stone cold fox, as a love interest to frontman Joe.
Now, as groundbreaking as it is to have a plus size woman as the love interest, (with no focus at all on her weight and all the focus on how sexy she is) that is not why itβs important to me. The reason this video is important to be has to do with the lyrics βwe donβt need to keep it hush, you could leave a tooth brush.β
There are so many stories of full figured women who meet men who want to date them, but never want to be seen with them in public because they are embarrassed. These men (closeted βfat admirersβ, there is even a name and an online community dedicated to them) have been made fun of or ridiculed for preferring plus size women so badly that they donβt even want to be seen in public with one.
If you can get passed the idea that Ashley Graham is physically flawless in general, there is so much representation for the plus sized ladies in this video and it means so much to me. Joe Jonas, a teen hearth throb, is proudly escorting around a plus sized woman with hearts in his eyes.
He takes her out on the town, kisses her at the club, invites her in for a night cap, and wakes up still infatuated with her. He is aroused and present and appreciating her for the sexual being she is.
This was not just a music video. This was not an ad for beats speakers. This was art. This was a story. This was representation.
