This video shows the original and then photoshopped version of modeling and celebrity photos. The end results are shocking. The ones of the natural beauty look just fine as they are, but the photoshopped version looks like a wax or mannequin figure. The last portion of the video take a play-by-play on the way an advertisement was made. A normal looking girl was completely transformed. I was shocked to see the differences, you will be too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUUAgZ8f1OU&feature=related

Say No To Size 0
Oh my goodness! This youtube video shows various pictures of scarily-skinny celebs and models. The music is hilarious, so make sure you turn your volume up. Each of these is a picture of a real woman and the size of them is haunting. I have seen some of these pictures in magazines before and they were praised for their sexy thinness. This is just disgusting and all I want to do is feed them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFxrwqo_j4A&feature=related

1) AHHHH!
2) That music IS hilarious!
3) I want to feed them too.
4) Do you watch America's Next Top Model? They were going on their go-see's and one girl couldn't try on dresses because the sample sizes are always a size 2. One designer told a girl, who was a size 0, that she was too skinny, but the size 6 girl was considered a plus-size model! Gross. I mean, I'm a size 4 and people still think I'm too skinny. I hate when girls wear their little bikinis and their hip bones still out! I feel like they're going to fall and break their pelvis in half. I mean, I want a flat stomach too, but I don't want it to go in. I don't think that is right.
That video is so horrible! I'm starving now. Why are these women even allowed to be models? Girls see these women and think they need to be that thin to be a model themselves. That is seriously so sad. I'm all about eating healthy and working out, but I know from experience starving yourself is not the way to go. Many modeling companies now have laws banning too-skinny models and require models to eat certain numbers of calories daily, which is good... but holy crap that video was scary!
This was absolutely crazy! And I agree: the music was quite amazing :). Our society makes me sick in general when it comes to the "positive" images of women when it comes to their size. I watch America's Next Top Model too (I'll admit lol), but I think almost all the girls on the show are way too skinny. The normal models should be the ones who are considered "plus" size. Actually, the last episode I watched, which was a rerun, had a girl on it who was thinking she was gaining weight. She compared herself with everyone else in the house and was visibly depressed about her size. But yet, she was like maybe 100 pounds soaking wet! That is so not cool and I just want to be able to look her in the face and say "Hey-You are NOT fat, you are quite the opposite. Maybe you should gain some weight and actually be able to SEE yourself in the mirror at a profile view!!!!" Anyways, glad you posted it that. But, I'm not so sure that girls will actually get the hint. Our culture is way too consumed with being stick thing and almost ghostly. I still love the new Dove campaign!
I love your blog.
I have always watched stupid shows like Americans next top model or anything else on MTV and have found myself judging for days after words on why i can’t be that thin. After watching the You Tube video and being completely sick almost at how thin the girls were i am happy. Happy to know that i don’t go every day starving and just pressing towards unrealistic expectations of what it is to be "beautiful"
I loved the music!!!! I however did not liked the pictures. I couldn't believe that women are trying to look that way. I started watching some other videos after I finished that one and their were ones that showed how to use photoshop and change how the people looked. That just makes me sad. No one is every good enough anymore.
