It's amazing what the world perceives these woman to look like after a little air brushing...
I think all of us woman struggle at one point or another with an insecurity! Whether it be our bodies, a certain feature, our hair... Beauty is skin deep. I think what matters is who YOU ARE on the inside! Live life, be you, & love the skin you are in!
What a GREAT post Ash!!!! This shows that all of us could be on the cover of a mag if we had a team of professionals to touch us up! We are all beautiful, strong, intelligent women, and we need to tell ourselves that as often as possible!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! I have seen similar photos before but it is always good to be reminded that the "perfect" people you see in the magazines have flaws just like the rest of us!

ReplyDeleteI have seen this before! Its so sad. God has created us beautiful in our own ways. Through him we have satisfaction! Love this every woman needs to be reminded! We are all Queens!
ReplyDeleteWell yes and no. As a retired model myself its true that there is a great deal of retouching(thank goodness lol) BUT I dont miss those days at all simply because on the flip side there is alot of hard work involved..its not as simple as walking into a shoot looking like you just woke up and having a magic wand sprinkle pretty on you lol...if I had of walked into a shoot like they above female I would of been told to go home..there is more dieting involved then I ever want to keep up with again. They will take all the time in the world to photoshop celebrities that already have a name for themselves because their fame sells the magazines not so much for models.If you dont look the part you DONT get that particular job. They WILL NOT spend 3 hours editing YOU when girl #2 needs no retouching. Just sharing the flipside :)VERY very happy to be retired!

Thank you so much for sharing this! It is sickening that there is such pressure for women to achieve these impossible looks. If you're beautiful on the inside your outer beauty will reflect that.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog...I look forward to seeing your decor each season. I'm so ready to get my fall stuff out but it's still 90 degrees here in Alabama!
Oh yeah and forgot to mention...Jessica Alba looks better in her BEFORE picture...AND this is months after her daughter was born....you go girl :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this Ashley... I saw many transformations like these in one of my Marketing/Advertising classes in college. You wouldn't believe some of the things they can do!! It's really sad to me how our world is so consumed by beauty and outward appearances. At the end of this life, those things won't matter in the least bit. Unfortunately for most, they won't realize it until its too late.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Ashley! =) ~Liz
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just disturbing? To think that young girls are looking at these pictures and thinking that this is normal? I showed this video to my 15 year old cousin a few weeks ago and she couldn't believe it. Thank god for Dove's really beauty campaign! Great post, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thats powerful stuff. I had to watch it twice. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your blog!
