I knew about all the makeup things they do.. to the extent of glueing their ears to their heads sometimes. But when they started Photochopping her. That's a little excessive.
Agreed! What are your plans for next week? I have parts of my ballet recital routine (to the nutcracker music) and was wondering if you can make me look less like an elephant =)
It's fucked up because the standards for beauty that it is perpetuating. It is saying that in order to be beautiful, women must look like this, and that our product will help you look like this. But the problem is that there is NO way any girl can look that way unless she has someone with photoshop following her around.
You might argue that mobody realistically thinks that they should or can look like one of these models, but the fact is they do, and that even on a subtle level we are all affected by this media images that are constantly bombarding us.
Oh, and who is to say that the "best image" has to be unrealistic, unattainable, and damaging in terms of increasing rates of eating disorders, and low self confidence? Is the woman on the final billboard really the "best image" for women?
