What a model needs to do to look like Barbie

This is an article from yahoo news about a model who had her body marked, as if she were going to have surgery to look like Barbie.

Looking at it on an actual person, it's completely ridiculous. And yet, it's what we strive to be. Unfortunately I don't see this changing anytime soon. It is engrained in our minds what we should look like, and what we should think is pretty and the people who have the power to change it are making too much money off of us feeling this way. It's a sad truth. Almost scary. But knowing that it's wrong doesn't just magically make me feel any more comfortable.

  1. Wow, I did not even know all of those types of plastic surgery existed. There are way too many things telling women how they need to do. It's so depressing, and yes, just makes you feel very uncomfortable.

  2. It is so sad. And especially because the girl all marked up in the photo is gorgeous just how she is and doesnt need anything done just like many females that think they need a lot done when in reality they are beautiful how they are.
