Dove Evolution Video

Watch this video a few times. Then really, really think about it. What you see in fashion magazines is not real.
Why do you continue to compare your body to theirs?
Why do you continue to believe that this beauty exists in the real world?

i wrote an entry about this a while back, as i was interested in going into the industry of retouching. i have since decided to go a different route for many reasons, but this was certainly one of them.

there’s a part ii, but i won’t overload you with my old entries, lol. the point is just that i find this to be such an interesting topic as we continue to compare ourselves to ideals that don’t exist outside of pixels.
