it's really messing up the way girls look at themselves. There are a few very popular teen magazines in Australia where they decide not to use airbrushing and they look fantastic just the same. Some Australian celebrities refuse it as well.
It really is giving girls false expectations of what they should look like to be beautiful.
Agreed. Good find and worthy message to young girls in particular.
Magazines can't help themselves, I remember GQ "conning" Kate Winslett (a voice against these kind of adverts and editorials) by getting her to agree to pictures and then digitally enhancing them after to make her look like she had extraordinarily long legs and was around 30lbs less.
I think girls/women have it pretty hard.
They're made to believe they have to look and act a certain way to be accepted.
But we can't let deter us, "you have to be the change you wish to see in this world"
