Impossible Beauty
Self-esteem July 20th, 2007I am from a family of raging liberals but I’ve always been pretty middle-of-the road (well, compared to them, at least). But I think I’ve found an issue that just might turn me into an activist - this idiotic media-created IMPOSSIBLE image of what is supposed to be “Beautiful”.
This is a photo-montage showing Faith Hill on the cover of Redbook - from the original image to the computer-manipulated final result. Thank you, fish biscuit of Let’s Try This Again for posting this.
Startling. Disgusting. She is a talented, beautiful woman, who is photo-shopped into the media dictates of age, weight and imperfection.

It’s so nice to hear about your success! I love that you are here to talk about the realities of maintenance. Your story is very inspiring and I love that you make things positive. I am a big fan of positive thinking and I’m trying to make it more a part of my life espcially when it comes to weight loss. I posted on another website that had the same link, it’s really crazy how the media can do something like this! Keep up the good work!

It’s really quite disgusting. I hope they are hearing a loud public outcry about what they are doing not only to her, but to those of us who read those magazines (including impressionable people).
