Katy Perry on loving her body: 'I'm curvy, I'm not sample-size'
When it comes to her body, Katy Perry is unafraid to talk about it.
"I'm curvy, I'm not sample-sized," she told Mashable on a recent Sunday afternoon. The day before the Met Gala, Perry met us at The Waterfall Mansion in New York's Upper East Side, where she was modeling her new makeup collaboration with Cover Girl cosmetics.
The line of makeup includes various shades of pink lipstick, as well as one in black, a color Perry eventually wore to Monday's Met Gala.
We sat in a private room and talked about body positivity and the pressures of being a woman in Hollywood. More specifically, we were conversing about the terms "plus-size," and "curvy," adjectives that have come into contention lately, thanks to celebs like Amy Schumer, who's since distanced herself from the very term.
"This cup doesn't fit in and my boobs are down to here," Perry said, with her revealing blue blouse accessorized by a faux fur shawl. "I'm not trying to cover them, either."
The 31-year old singer, who made a splash on Monday's Met Gala red carpet when she wore a dark Prada gown with a beehive hairstyle that kissed the night's sky, said she hopes the body-positivity conversation keeps growing.

"There have been decades of bad messaging and we are rewiring now," she said. "Long goneare the days where you are not socially aware. You can't unsee all that crazy shit and not try todo something to change it."
