And then we wonder why woman hate themselves. I spent last night with two highly successful women, and watching them enact the Rituals of Self Loathing ("I am SO fat, I had half a bagel!") made me really sad. They have MBAs and vital positions of responsibility, and this is what occupies their spare brain space? Ugh.
 
Ok I'm pretty sure the Penelope one is accidentally reversed, especially because her boobs look lopsided in the right picture but symmetric in the left, and her hair is frizzy in the right.

can you believe they made Angelina's lips bigger?
 
HI:

I don't recognize many celebrity faces anymore--principally b/c their faces/images are so altered. Therefore I do not subscribe to the number of magazines I once did since there doesn't seem to be any boundaries, professional or otherwise.

cheers--Sharon

I know what you mean. My whole life I've felt like I was inadequate. And my feelings didn't come from the media. It came from my mom. My whole childhood consisted of all kinda of diets. Grapefruit diets, cereal diets, all the fad diets you can think of. She made me believe that if you're not skinny, you are not beautiful. And that everything bad that happened to me was because I was fat. If someone was mean to me, it's because I was fat. If someone didn't want to be my friend, it was because I was fat. Mind you, I was never a fat child. I was always just a little chubby, never on the obese side at all. But being from an Asian culture, being fat is forbidden. She even made me feel like I couldn't go to Korea because everyone would stop and stare at me because I wasn't stick skinny. One time, she told me that she was embarrassed to go shopping with me because she always imagined having a skinny daughter that she could share clothes with.

I'm trying now that I'm married to get through my insecurities. It's still hard not to imagine that the first thing people think of me is that I'm fat but I'm trying.

Sorry about the rant :)

A beautiful young friend of mine posted this on FB. I think it is appropriate here. It is a 10-minute TED Talk by Cameron Russell.

This other was found by me, and also seems appropriate here.

I found it very appropriate, thanks for posting this Ksinger; I wish schools had girls and boys watch this. I think this will change a lot of peoples thinking. I was glad she talked about what is real and what is not real.


none of those ladies need photoshop at all. :nono:
 
I wish someone would photoshop ME!
 
Kim is actually not that dark (orange) - she spray tans to look darker! THey probably lightened her to even out the tone.
 
From Cracked.com "if iconic pictures were shopped by magazines".





Thanks for those links ksinger, I'll watch later.
YT, I'm so sorry. I hope you are beginning to feel good about yourself. That is a lot of emotional baggage to work through.
PintoBean, they make everyone lighter. Why is lighter the preferred shade?
