why would they edit so much?
They physically moved her bones. They moved her collar bone lower. I hope stuff like this makes girls realize how ridiculous the media is.
They “fix” her hair, her eyes, her cheekbones her collar bones, her skin, her waist, her boobs, her shoulders, her legs, her arms, even her hands. This isn’t even her anymore. It is society’s vision of perfect even though she was perfect just as she was before they “fixed” her.
This is what causes genuinely beautiful people to feel self-conscious or imperfect, this right here.
The industry has constantly tried for years to create the “perfect cover girl”, so much so that any human imperfection or flaw has to be digitally removed or altered.
It’s not just upsetting and unfair on the model or the general populous, but also disturbing and in many ways horrific.
We have plastic surgery already, along with digital photo editing software, how long will it be before the next truly terrifying stage lurks it’s preened, pampered and horribly disfigured “beautiful” face?Can we please stop and realise that for the media - this contains barely any editing? She is stunning before. If that was me up there, you wouldn’t recognise the after-editing shot.
Besides, no matter how much we blame the media, the majority of us fall for it’s beauty lies anyway
Absolutely ridiculous and sad. When will this stop?

February 4, 1899 - The Philippine uprising against U.S. imperialism begins. This is how the “democratic” U.S. responded to the people’s just demands.
“The Philippine-American War of 1899-1913 (also known as the Philippine Insurrection) was the bloodiest colonial war ever fought by a white power in Asia. Also during the sixties the Philippine-American War was referred to as “the first Vietnam,” the death of 1.4 million Filipinos has been usually accounted for as either collateral damage or victims of insurrection against the imperial authority of the United States.”

In the second edition of his book Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice, Jack Donnelly describes human rights as universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated (Donnelly 27). The universality of human rights is fairly straightforward: the foundation of human rights depends on the idea that “all human beings have certain basic rights simply because they are human” (Donnelly 27, 236). If all humans do not have human rights, than calling those rights “human rights” becomes a contradiction in terms.
The three “I”s, however, are a bit more complicated. How are human rights indivisible, interdependent and interrelated, and why does it matter? Human rights are a package deal. This is important not only in theory, but also in practice. Let’s unpack the terms…
