I Wanna Be Airbrushed

Now this is some much needed consolation!:laugh: :happy:

Dat cottage cheese.

I find it hard to believe most of them look that bad in real life. Even I don't.

I know! I looked through them and I think they've been photoshopped to look extra bad for this website!! Some of them are still quite young and have never been overweight but they look like they have massively cottage cheese thighs/bum area. Uh no. A wee bit maybe, but not that much.

The real problem with articles like these is that it is implied that "we" are suppose to feel better about ourselves because these people look worse in real life than they do in magazines and on the television. This is not what we should be teaching ourselves and our children. The only way to feel good about yourself is to think you are better or at least equal in physical appearance to someone famous? When you think about it, this is all it is. Its the same concept as bullying...putting another down to feel better about yourself.
There is nothing wrong with a person or in this case a woman (since all the photos were of women and men just don't seem to have this jealousy/spitefulness that women do) being regarded as extremely attractive or as extremely unattractive. This is all am matter of personal preference and taste and everybody seems to have at least one other individual who thinks they are attractive, no matter how different from the norm they may be.

Additionally, there are women who exist that do look amazing and "perfect." No cellulite, crazy unbelievable proportions, flat abs, big boobs or small tight boobs, beautiful shiny hair, etc......whatever the eye of the beholder believes to be "perfect." Are we teaching ourselves and our children that these people should be held on a pedestal or the opposite, that they should be hated/scorned because no one is supposed to be that amazing looking in real life?

Agree!

I so agee. I do not for one sec feel that this sort of thing should be anywhere. This is awful. Especially since some people will look at this and say well I feel better about myself now because a "Star" looks like crap.

Kate Moss looks BETTER with some weight on her!!

I've never been overweight, but my butt/thighs have a ton of cellulite on them. It's genetic- I've had it since I was at least 12, when I first noticed it. Mine is comparable to Tamara Ecclestone's- mine have a little more. Not saying these photos aren't Photoshopped to look worse or whatever, just saying it's possible that they actually do look like that. I'm 27 years old, 145 lbs., and 5'5"

It's silly to say that if you're of a normal weigth you won't hvae cellulite. As jacquiroxx922, I also noticed mine when i was 12 and at that point i was a skinny gangly kid! It can be genetic or, and could be a reaosn for a lot of stars, bad diet (i.e salt etc) It sholdn't matter whether they have it or not - i still think they look good. It's part of being a female. I doubt VERY much they've been made to look worse than they do more that the papers ahve waited to get the least glamours shot they could!
