And to think....



I thought it was diet and exercise!

No wonder so many of us have screwy body images.

That was amazing. Talk about a false impression. Totally bad for society.

On the technical side, I was pretty impressed with this person's photoshop skills!

That is pretty amazing. As a fellow Jersey Girl, you will appreciate this story. I was in Atlantic City with my husband a few years back for the COSAC conference. We were strolling down the boardwalk when we encountered the Sex and the City crew filming a boardwalk shot for the episode where they went to AC. I saw Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker in the flesh. That is to say, what flesh those two collectively have is rather alarming in a bad way. They both looked gaunt and in need of a sandwich. I guess the camera does add weight... but seriously - the way those two looked in person vs the way they looked when that episode aired astonished me. What we see on TV is not what is actually reality... there is a whole lot screwed up with what the media projects to be "healthy." Not just for women and their body images... but let's not pretend that men aren't affected by this type of assault and don't have weird expectations about how we should look.
