Sorry You're Not As Beautiful . . .


Not a lot needs to be said here. Study these two images and you can clearly see how the original photographic image of Faith Hill has been digitally altered for the magazine cover. This is what surrounds us all of the time … in print, on television and in the movies. Any doubt about why so many people feel they don’t measure up?

Sad, isn't it? Fortunately, nobody looks like Barbie in real life, at least I hope not. I must say, thank goodness her arms aren't that skinny in real life. The couple of TV people I've in the flesh were actually much thinner than they appeared on the screen. You've got to worry about the impact this stuff has on young, impressionable minds, though.

Absolutely true, Sylvie. I just cannot believe how visually intolerant the media has become of the most basic signs of everyday mortality. Thanks for stopping by!
