My disappointment towards Hollywood, celebrities and their egotistical personalities never seem to lessen. What I hate the most is the way women are portrayed on magazines and adverts. It has made the image of a young girl seem insecure and not worthy of the world based on her looks. A long time ago, I realized that Hollywood is dead.
A young girl sits in a waiting room and looks at the front of the magazine. The blonde-haired model has perfect ocean-blue eyes, beach-tanned skin, mid-toned pink lip gloss and a bikini. She sees how her skin is perfect, not a flaw to be seen. As a matter of fact, all of the other young models in the magazine have long hair and slim bodies.
In today's society young girls are feeling inadequate about their bodies and image. They are constantly dieting, comparing themselves with stars and models in the magazines. These models and stars do not look like that in real life. Most of their pictures are photoshopped, airbrushed and cover their faces with tremendous amounts of make-up. People would be floored to see celebrities without their make-up (some look like two different people). No matter how beautiful a person is, their portrait is not being truly displayed around the world. The team of workers behind a photo shoot are always going to find something wrong with their models no matter how they look.
I couldn't agree more. It makes you wonder how these models feel inside. To an average person we would probably assume that they are happy with the way they look, but they may not. I remember a few months back one of the members of One Direction was on the front of a magazine and they got rid of his birthmark on his face. He was furious. It's a shame because the people who edit these magazines make these stars look "flawless". They make ordinary people want to look just like them, but in reality that's not even how they look. You have girls starving themselves and wishing they looked liked the Kardashians, but little do they know they don't actually look that way in real life. It's just a shame, but I couldn't agree more with what you said!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Today's society is so messed up. You can't find one teenage girl who doesn't feel like the way she looks isn't good enough and a lot of it has to do with what is portrayed by models. Everyone is born different and all have unique qualities. I've seen some of what celebrities look like without make up on and it's shocking. You never realize that they too break out or have bags under their eyes until you see the real them. No one is perfect and everyone needs to learn to accept themselves for who they are.
