I’m probably way behind the times on pointing this out, but I just found this link and needed to post it.
It’s a one-minute movie showing the [tag]transformation[/tag] of a model from pre-make-up to head-shot-on-a-billboard, and is the best example I’ve seen of displaying how distorted our view of [tag]beauty[/tag] (and reality) have become. The resemblance of the finished product (and I use that term purposefully) to the real woman is almost unrecognizable.
It really does bother me that we are so twisted in the way we market beauty in our culture. Not only is it an example of how gullible we are as a people, but it is damaging many of our children – particularly girls – who are trying to attain [tag]standards of beauty[/tag] that are literally unattainable in the real world. It’s very disturbing.
(By the way, one of my pet peeves is the loose use of the word “literally” in popular language. I employ it here in its correct, primary usage. Watch the movie. This post is in the “technology” category for a reason.)
