Don't Compare Yourself to Celebrities

Starvation, lengthy daily workouts, plastic surgery, million dollar makeovers, advice from personal stylists, spray tans, Spanx, hair extensions, flattering lighting, and ace photography don’t make women beautiful enough, so photo editors choose the best photo out of 1000 and airbrush it to impossible standards. To sell beauty and diet products, advertisers must convince you, the consumer, that you’re ugly. Problem is, the images aren’t real. Truth is freedom. Question it! indyink.wordpress.com

Profile picture of Lynnsey Dunson

Lynnsey Dunson It's probably just behind her leg that's crossed over her stomach/hips.

Profile picture of Indy Ink

Indy Ink Quite a feat if it is, considering how far forward that arm is. The hips and legs look very off to me... and she has no armpit or hip at all on the left.

Profile picture of MicheleBlue

MicheleBlue you can pretty much count on that her arm was somewhat over her stomach, which didn't work for making her look all tiny in the waist.... so they just cut her arm off. easy fix, right? No matter how you look at it, her hand or something should be showing from behind her leg. The leg has obviously been tweeked to look thiner around the knee/calf area as well. It was probably easier to just lose that arm to tweek the leg, than to edit the arm.

Again, this workout does not give you this body... Photoshop does. Judging from the weird blurs just above the bikini line, I'm not sure that stomach is even hers. Waist was nipped in, left hip deleted, right upper arm elongated, butt removed... and I just can't get over that knee on the right. It's going two different directions! Question it! #fake #unattainable #photoshop #antithinspo #retouching #airbrush

Profile picture of Jaimie S.

Jaimie S. I pointed out that bizarre knee to someone who pinned this as 'motivation', because I wanted her to know it was fake, and some crazy girl called me a hater and accused me of being fat and lazy. It saddens me that we've raised a generation of women who think these things are reality. I wish someone had told me how fake everything is when I was a teenager, it would have made it a lot easier for me to stop resenting my body sooner.

Profile picture of Indy Ink

Indy Ink Jaimie, speak the truth to someone who doesn't want to hear it, and they will turn on you. You are not a hater. Honesty isn't hate. I get a lot of criticism for having this board, mostly the accusation that I am a "fatty" sitting at a computer with a terrible case of jealousy. Actually I am a former model, 5'9, a muscular size 6, rail thin with naturally large chest. People stop me at grocery stores and shopping malls to tell me I'm beautiful. I have no need to look like the airbrushed, inhuman image that is a Victoria's Secret Angel... and I resent the marketing lackeys who want me to hate myself for having pores. If you check back with those girls in a year, none of them will look like this picture... and you'll still be the happy girl you are. :) Learning to appreciate natural beauty makes life realistically beautiful.

Indy Ink Robin, that freaks me out too. I'm wondering how many girls will expect guys to look and act like Edward Cullen, regardless of the fantasy element. My guy friends are already complaining about that. I'm not sure where the picture came from, just that it's heavily enhanced and the eyes don't quite look like Pattinson's movie vampire eyes to me. My thinking is I can't compare real men to the fake stuff if I don't want them comparing me to the fake stuff.

Indy Ink In the interested of honesty, I have a serious problem with this "being in love with a fantasy" when it comes to Jim Halpert. Every time I watch The Office I have to repeat "he doesn't exist, he doesn't exist" to myself because he's... sadly... fictional. :(

Sarah Terrill Robin, I am curious how old your friend's daughter is. The younger she is, the less unsettling this seems. When I was 10 I had a crush on Sleeping Beauty's Prince Phillip, but now that I'm older I am with you on Don Draper!

Profile picture of Robin Collins

Robin Collins Sarah, she's almost 15. Maybe it is just an age thing. She's very driven and slightly brilliant...but no interest at all in the real thing...not that it's that big of a deal, she's still very young. It just seems as though we create these insurmountable expectations in our minds. In this case, it's a judgement on something that doesn't even exist...and in the case of the sexy vampire up there...it seems to me to be something of the same.

I have 2 nieces and the 7 year old loves soccer and sports and swimming and the 4 year old loves all things girly... Even at age 2 anything electronic was against her ear anything with a loop to slide her arm through was a purse and whether it was slippers, sandals or my sneakers she found ways to slide her tiny feet into. Kids mimick what they see, I explained the older one for proof that it was not the parenting it was simply the 4year old having different interest. She loves to match, I have had wardrobe argument with her one particularly I made a rock band with pots and pans a Hannah Montana guitar a mic and a radio, She had to dress like a rock star, wearing a tutu meant I HAD to find her stockings!!

This is for all the "I'll be happy when my thighs no longer touch" girls. Almost everyone's thighs touch... but photo editors usually airbrush out the insides of women's thighs to get that certain "look" you're certain you'll get in a gym if you just work hard enough. Who made up this standard of beauty? This is Minka Kelly. She's tiny, tiny, tiny. Her thighs touch. She is not a failure as a woman. You aren't either. #attainable #beauty #thin #skinny #real

It’s not easy to achieve a model-esque shape, even for models. Genetics play a big role in our body shape, size and weight, but that’s not enough. They take serious measures to look “naturally” slim and sculpted. Adriana Lima, a VS Angel, spoke candidly with the Telegraph about her food and fitness routines: She sees a nutritionist, who has measured her body’s muscle mass, fat ratio and levels of water retention. He prescribes protein shakes, vitamins and supplements to keep Lima’s energy levels up during this training period. Lima drinks a gallon of water a day. For nine days before the show, she will drink only protein shakes – “no solids”. Two days before the show, she will abstain from the daily gallon of water, and “just drink normally”. Then, 12 hours before the show, she will stop drinking entirely.... (click picture to read article)

Feisty McKenzie They didn't even bother trying to hide it! Ugh... repulsive...

Dear Allure Magazine: In your November 2011 issue, your subheading on page 158 reads: "Talk about airbrushing and Spanx all you want: The fact is, celebrities–like Ginnifer Goodwin–have the best bodies going." This headline is featured alongside a page with a PHOTOSHOPPED picture of Ginnifer Goodwin's body. Sorry Allure, but we're just not that stupid. Talk about real journalism all you want; you're just a tabloid full of articles that chip away at women's self esteem so you can collect revenue from beauty and diet product ads. Sincerely, Indy Ink P.S. My fellow pinners may also complain here: secure.allure.com... #beauty #inspiration #unattainable

This Maybelline ad was banned in the UK for false advertising due to excessive use of Photoshop on model Christy Turlington. #beauty #makeup
