A new inspiring hashtag is out to celebrate thighs -- every last inch of them.

The body positive campaign began when Twitter user @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.
