Honestly, I have trouble with trying to make all my photos look great with inside editing. I am a perfectionist and can't help it... well I can, with God behind my back. Luckily I don't have that kind of software. I am partly appalled at how they changed everybody intirely. I don't like to change my photos entirely but to make them better so that everyone can see a clear picture and understand it more. I would rather use the original picture than trying to edit it and make it a lie. You should go on my face book and see all the pictures I have took. Those pictures either left alone or just croped and stablized, nothing more. It is truely amazing how much we can do now with photography.

The results are so dramatically differant, yet who would want to touch up some of those people, especially that child at the end? God made us beautiful in our own way. Why do we need to mess that up?

Real beauty is just the way God made us. Nothing more, nothing less. Why strive to be like something that isn't real anyway? This video ust goes to show that all the worldwants us to be is fake!

Why have we glorified computer images as our ideal for beauty? To all my fellow rebelutionaries: this sounds like something hard we should do. How can we change society's ideal for beauty?

This is almost terrifying. Why would these be deemed the appropriate pictures? Because they project an image of perfection. The other end of the discussion is that they also send a message that-untouched- we are less than we should be. Ai!!! This is almost terrifying. Why would these be deemed the appropriate pictures?

Hair has to be styled with absolutely no frizz and just the right amount of volume-not too big and not too flat, skin must be perfect (preferably tan), and bodies should have as little fat as possible and still be curvy in the right places...Obviously our adornment isn't supposed to be merely external, and we are supposed to seek to please God and not men, but it gets hard to remember that when you're surrounded by people all the time who are telling you differently. (Not blatantly, of course, but in a thousand different little ways.) It's like people get this concept of the perfect woman in their heads and they're disappointed when girls aren't really like that. I even get it at home sometimes...knowing it's all fake almost makes it worse, because then that "ideal beauty" is even more unattainable.
