On Beauty

For Nicoya..
read this about the illusion of beauty in advertising...
"As an industry insider, Kohanim is aware of the seductive power of commercial images. “In advertising we’re so used to perfection,” he suggests. “But it’s an illusion. None of the models look like that in real life. They get the best lighting, the best makeup, the retouchers. And it’s only that combination of skills that makes those perfect images — which can give the false message that everyone should look perfect in real life."

I liked the comment written by the author that said the media is so used to perfection. It's interesting because the definition of Perfect beauty is so misinterpreted by the media which makes all ages of women also think differently about what being perfect is.
