PrettyThin

I see critisism of this site all the time. I also see critisism from people within this site all the time about how others think. I thought it was interesting to see SO MUCH TALK about beauty and getting thin in our society, and then see so much critisism of this site. So, these are sightings within our world.

I read a forum post about a website that talked about skinny celebrities. I decided to hit a few fashion magazine websites to see how they portray beauty. These are websites dedicated to the idea of fashion and beauty. The way they think society should be at it's finest, at it's best, at it's most perfect. It's somewhat funny to me that an anorexia website would get so much flack for images of skinny girls, and yet we look to magazines such as Vogue (which I am calling out right now - but I will move around the web from time to time to keep driving this point) to tell us how a beautiful society should be.

This is the image I found on their homepage. I don't think it's any surprise that the runway is filled with skinny, beautiful women. The entire industry has come under fire for this for some tie; this is not something new. I remember the discussion for the past 12 years at least! But nothing has changed in the inductry that gives us our images of a perfectly beautiful society.

So I decided to look into the Beauty section directly.

Did you know that if you work out to get yourself in shape, you should look like this? According to Vogue Magazine, anyway.

I'm a little behind on the news, but here it is.

"When the supermodel Kate Moss, in a rare online interview this week, told readers that one of her mottos was "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", the fallout was instant, vitriolic and damning."

When talking about nutrition and exercise, it's one thing to talk about health and fitness, and another all together to talk about weight loss and being thin.

Yahoo, the most trafficked site on the internet, puts as it's top 4 stories:

- Planet on a collision course toward it's sun
- Deaths caused by window blinds and a recall
- The death of Kennedy
- Quick and Easy Tweaks to lose weight faster

I think it is amusing that society would look hatefully on most of those in the community on this website, while so many push it as a way of life, and a way to make more money.

Will it ever end? This article discusses a New Body and New Attituse for Jennifer Love Hewitte. You can't blame Yahoo on this one. It's what society wants to know. But what's interesting is the dominance of such articles in newstands.

Once again, from our advertisers at Yahoo. If celebrities do it, shouldn't we?

Stop over eating. Be thin. Diet. Look like this and be perfect. Don't and you're just less of a person.

Society must change the way it views beauty as a whole; our individual minds comprise society, but often, we fight the tide of the masses that are not ourselves.
