In the essay "What I think About the Fashion World" by Liz Jones, she explains how models, girls, women, and people in general are affected by the images put in magazines. "Never before have we been bombarded with so many images of perfection:.."(46). Liz Jones is absolutely correct. Every magazine cover that is shown has someone who has been airbrushed till ever body part is flawless. I am showing this picture of Kim Kardashian because the picture on the left is not airbrushed and the picture on the right is. Someone as pretty as Kim Kardashian still gets airbrushed. They made her thighs smaller, skin lighter, and even went to the extreme of fixing her hairline. Unfortunately people in the fashion industry do make girls, and guys feel bad about themselves by the people they put in the magazines and it makes me sad because teenagers and people with low selfesteem are so easily persuaded and will do anything to look perfect.
I really like the picture you chose to post with this, it really shows how hard people work on touch ups to make someone look perfect. I posted a similar picture with the same Idea in mind. I definitely agree that it is sad that because people see pictures like this the strive for the same look and will do anything to look perfect.
