So I'm not perfect, so what??

Hello hello!

Found this interesting article on the front of Yahoo!. It was about Kim Kardashian, who btw is a very lovely lady! The article was about a picture that was released before it was photoshopped! Here it is:

Before is on the left, after on the right.

Oh the horror!!

Not really, I actually agree with her. She told Complex magazine this statement:

"But you know what, who cares!" she continues. "So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn't!?"

That is true to fact! She stood up for the fact that she was not perfect! And she handled it like a professional! Instead of blowing up and losing her mind over it, she simply made that statement. And man, is it true! I should know, I'm curvy myself!

Any case, I also wanted to point out how photo-shopping images totally skews our vision of reality and how women 'should' look! Check this out:

So I'll start from the 'cellulite issue'. Notice on the left, you can clearly see the little 'pudge' of her leg plus what looks like a birth mark up on her thigh. Her skin is also darker as well. Notice on the right? Lightened skin and tight legs, wow! What a change! But even that small change is enough to throw people off, men and women, about how they should look.

For my next part, view the arm. The small open area between the inner elbow and her chest is clearly smaller on the left than on the right. They open it up more to depict a smaller waist-line and bigger firmer breasts. Again! Another skewed vision!

Lastly, I noticed a little change, very minor on the face. Though she already has a slim face and nice cheekbones, it looked as if they made it even thinner and flattened the ear a little. Overall, the picture on the right is tailored to perfection. To be a perfect view of what a woman should look like.

Our society is a visual one. Example? We like the way a certain dish is presented to us at a restaurant; we tend to return to that restaurant, also on the taste. A guy sees a pretty girl on the street, he is visually attracted to her. It is how we operate as a society.

Granted, some women do have flawless bodies, not perfect however. If we were perfect, I can guarantee you photoshop would not exist!
