Happy birthday Emily Ratajkowski!

Happy birthday Emily Ratajkowski! The hottest model of Instagram today turns 26-years and we have decided to celebrate her as a superwoman as she deserves.

From her first appearance in the video of the song Blurred Lines, which launched her to the success, Emrata has made its way, but not only fame and popularity have marked the career of the top model. A cocktail of beauty, sympathy, social commitment and a subtle intellectual vein have turned the model into a controversial character, followed by both men and women. So, here are the 5 reasons why we like Emily Ratajkowski.

# 1 She's smart

On several occasions, Emily has proved not only to have a flawless body, but also an interesting personality and talent that go beyond being able to pose in front of a camera. An example is the Baby Woman piece that the model wrote for Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's online magazine, Lennyletter.com.

The implication is that to be sexual is to be trashy because being sexy means playing into men's desires. To me, "sexy" is a kind of beauty, a kind of self-expression, one that is to be celebrated, one that is wonderfully female. Why does the implication have to be that sex is a thing men get to take from women and women give up? Most adolescent women are introduced to "sexy" women through porn or Photoshopped images of celebrities. Is that the only example of a sexual woman we will provide to the young women of our culture? Where can girls look to see women who find empowerment in deciding when and how to be or feel sexual? Even if being sexualized by society's gaze is demeaning, there must be a space where women can still be sexual when they choose to be.

# 2 She is a feminist

Emily has always been deployed on the part of women and their rights. Not only that, on Instagram, the model has often launched messages in favor of gender equality and the "liberalization" of the female body. Yes, her hot shots can be a message of "body awareness" for all women and against the exploitation of female nakedness.

# 3 She's passionate about art

A few months ago, Emily posted some photos of her Los Angeles apartment on Instagram, revealing to all the world her passion for art. Paintings, photographs, antiques and designer furniture surround the model, showing us another aspect of her personality.

# 4 She's an activist

As we have already said, Emily is not afraid to come up with her own ideas, even when it comes to politics. For example, during the US presidential election, Emily had expressed openly support for candidate Bernie Sanders.

# 5 (obvious, but right) She's beautiful

Why deny it: Emily Ratajkowski is also beautiful and cool.
