Wow, these are incredible. The last one makes me sick for my little sisters. Even though I’m not that old I grew up with some real imagery. They’ll never really know what an undoctored photo is. I hope we can help other women see they are real beauty. In the truest meaning of the words.
I have 3 daughters…all beautiful…and I know all will have “flaws” they will wish away for the rest of their lives. Just like me. That last one was really telling. If I could keep them in a bubble I would.
I don’t have any little girls but I do have 3 little boys and I find that their seems to be pressure for men too to look a certain way. It may not be as prevalent in the media but it’s still there. It saddens me to think that this is what society seems to focus on-looks and not substance. After watching the first 2 videos I had to wonder if they do the same type of photoshopping to kids photos in magazines and adds as well.
Gosh, these videos are breaking my heart. It’s truly no wonder so many girls and women struggle with self-esteem these days. After watching these videos I feel an even greater duty to protect my daughter from the ‘beauty norms’ the media has created. Thank you for sharing.
WOW! The last one was the best. Make sure my Coco knows we love her just the way she is. I love her rolls and all.
great post reachel. thanks so much for reminding me to talk to my 10 year old about her real beauty.
It really is a never-ending onslaught! I have 3 little girls and quite a battle ahead of me against all of this!
Thanks for posting these and writing about this topic! I had to blog about it on my blog as well! 🙂
Excellent post, Reachel.
