Why? Just Why?
Even after spending a ton on stylists and make-up artists they still need to be so overly airbrushed that they no longer look like themselves. The people on magazines don't exist - they're just a figment of some editors overly anti-feminist imagination.
Why do magazines flood their pages with articles on 'why women are beautiful just the way they are' and then slap overly edited celebrities on the cover? If i owned a magazine it would feature 'real women' with their naturally uneven skin tones and wobbly bits.
I would much rather buy a dress modeled by a 'non perfect' woman who is proud of her cellulite and chest size and who is not viewed by the public as 'physically perfect.'
Because - Perfection doesn't exist. And if it did, we would all look the same because society and media has forced this definition of perfection into out heads.
I'm sorry Miss Alba... they seem to have edited out your vagina...
I don't agree with the 'Real Women Have Curves' campaign either. You can be a size six and be a woman.
The idea of real women doesn't mean 14+ or curvy. It means embracing your body and all of its flaws no matter what shape or size, being a mum who doesn't see her stretch marks as flaws but sees them as a sign of the birth of their child and the beautiful process of pregnancy and not letting your gender/ body shape stand in the way of anything.
Not only that, but being a woman doesn't solely rely on your body shape... its about who you are inside.
Real Women Are Proud of Who They Are!
So, in the attempt to inspire other women to stand up and accept their beautiful bodies for exactly what they are.... i would like to announce to everyone..
I HAVE CELLULITE, WOBBLY BITS, A BIG NOSE, DIMPLES ON MY BUM, AND SIZE 7 FEET AND IM PROUD TO SAY... I AM ALL WOMAN!
"I'm sorry Miss Alba... they seem to have edited out your vagina..." Tres funny
ReplyDeleteIt;s so true - be a real woman but here - here's a picture of someone I edited earlier... Mixed messages or what?!
