Own the Skin You're In

Stars Without Photoshopping

What drives me crazy is the fact that people are getting paid good money to write articles and hunt down photos to show how shocking our favourite female celebrities look without makeup!

I actually like this one because it's points out how ridiculous media has gotten with the way it treats photo images that don't live up to some standard created by who the hell knows!

What ticks me off, though, is how much time and energy is given to making any note at all that Kim Kardashian has cellulite (funny, though she claims to own it unapologetically, all her semi-nude photos seem to be her head stuck on top of a body moulded from smooth plastic) , Katie Holmes leaving the gym (gasp!), Megan Fox's photos to prove that she hasn't had botox.  They even consulted experts to analyze her photo to either prove or disprove it!!!  Are you kidding?!?!  She tweets in an attempt to say I haven't had work done and because we refuse to believe that a woman cannot be beautiful without it we spend hours trying to debunk it.  Now I don't know if she did or didn't but at the end of the day WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT?!?!?!?!

Maybe instead of being sad that their photo was altered against their wishes why aren't these women who claim to stand up for natural beauty but a clause in their contract that disallows any retouching.  Then those stars couldn't be photographed, you might say.  Well then good!  Maybe if they ALL agreed then the magazines would have to wake up!!!

It's time to OWN THE SKIN YOU'RE IN!!!
