A new inspiring hashtag is out to celebrate thighs -- every last inch of them.
The body positive campaign began when Twitter user @princess_labia (https://twitter.com/princess_labia) posted a photo of her thighs on July 20 with a tweet that read, "palm readings <<<< thigh readings." She then encouraged others to share photos of their thighs with the hashtag #ThighReading (https://twitter.com/hashtag/thighreading?src=hash).
