No point in fighting it of course though -- especially being as it's those same people who go out and by the magazines in the first place. Like you said, people just need to realize that models these days are nothing more than a source photo, nothing close to the final product. The same very much goes for industry produced music. <abbr><em>Scott’s last blog post ... <a href="http://metaanomie.lupton-net.com/?p=929" rel="nofollow">fit - “Summer Song” Recording</a></abbr></em> Yep, and people wonder why everyone has a screwed up self image these days (guys included for that matter).

I really hope this post might help out some young girls who, like you said strive to look like their favorite celebrities ... it's unachievable so it's just creates lower and lower self esteem. And I agree, that Bobbi Brown model looks a little robotic! Also plastic, I think. Thanks Ruth for your compliment!

Young impressionable girls are so into wanting to look like their celebrtities. I hope that your post will enlighten them that it is almost impossible, I mean take a simple thing like a haircut, you can't compare a $30.00 neighbourhood haircut to one that cost at least $300.00 from a professional!!!!!!!! And, I thought that Bobbi Brown model looked robotic!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this is one of the greatest post I’d read. Young impressionable girls are so into wanting to look like their celebrtities.

And yes, I think it affects girls around the early teens when they get exposed to the media. Although there are a lot of young girls (8,9,10) who I've read have started developing eating disorders or who say believe are "fat". No doubt in my mind that some influence for that has to be the media. Really upsetting :( No problem! And yes, I think it affects girls around the early teens when they get exposed to the media.

I totally agree with you. It's a really big problem as younger teens these days (I have two 15 year-old cousins) are really influenced by all these media photos and how media measures beauty. Sigh. <abbr><em>SzeLing’s last blog post ... <a href="http://beautycarameltwist.blogspot.com/2009/05/review-silk-naturals-mineral-eye.html" rel="nofollow">Review: Silk Naturals Mineral Eye Shadows</a></abbr></em> Thank you so much for this post.
