Trying To Be Perfect

Is There Too Much Pressure on Girls Trying to Be Perfect? America is filled with many beautiful women, different races, different cultures, different backgrounds. Being beautiful comes with a lot of things, in my opinion anyone created by God is beautiful but, being “beautiful” in this society land’s most women jobs, such as modeling, and acting roles. Most women these days are determined to look like celebrities they see on TV or social media. In “This Thing We Call Life” women often become uncomfortable within themselves because of the women they see on social media; Twitter, Instagram,and Snapchat. They look at these women on the internet and try to achieve the goal of looking similar to them. What they fail to realize is that these women they see, are women with money, with that being said, women with money can buy their bodies, such as plastic surgery, laser surgery, photoshopping and botox. As I get older, I’m slowly starting to realize how important it is to today’s society that they have the perfect body, they most perfect skin, even the right skin color. It’s one thing to look healthy, than to actually be healthy. Most of the celebrity women you see pay,
thousands and thousands of dollars just trying to maintain their bodies. I read in the “PetaPixel” article, the photoshopper Mike “Sharky” James, that he believes photoshopping; another form of editing and perfecting your body, believes their is nothing wrong with editing your body pictures.
He states “The eyes are the essence of a person and if everything else is blurry it makes parsing that essence much easier because our eyes are drawn to the elements of a picture that are sharpest. That being said, when I “heal” blemishes and re-touch skin, it isn’t because I am trying to give the illusion of perfection or make us mere mortals envious. The number one reason is always because temporary pimples, bumps, and blemishes are not the essence of a person. If I might choose to keep even someone’s nose and ears soft, how do you think I feel about things as transient as
zits?” There was one other disturbing article I read, basically stating that the Ceos of Abercrombie Mike Jeffries and Robin Lewis doesn’t “want” or should I say “allow” fat people in their store, here is what they had to say “It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,” Jeffries said.
