Beauty From Within


Elly Mayday  (from O'Brien Films)
Ashley Luther, aka “Elly Mayday,” recently died of ovarian cancer. 

She was just 30, but had inspired many a woman within her short life.  As a “body positivity”model, Mayday had stressed that beauty comes from within.

Never was this more evident than when Mayday was undergoing chemotherapy.  After her hair began falling out in clumps, Mayday assured fans:  Our beauty comes out if we accept the changes we must face and allow ourselves to just embrace our differences.

She posted unflinching views of her cancer treatment, stating that all was not “thumbs up,” but rather a day-by-day challenge.  This realism, coupled with sunny optimism, is what made Mayday so endearing.
