Too cool.

Every little step forward helps. And again, it is youngsters getting stuff done. Awesome.

mighty awesome.

I love the energy, and the optimism. I would have written off Vogue as a lost cause.

that 10% more to cover the photoshop part.

good for those girls. kick some ass, women.

yea.

no demure, lowering your eyes, staying "feminine (shutting up). i am getting so jazzed about our girls, and really

the boys i see today. not yesterday. not two decades ago. but, today.

they have had enough with us adults

booyah

It is inspiring me to want to do something more in real life.

I definitely speak out more in real life now.

sit my oldest among you women and let him tell you how it is all gonna get better. that this trash is reaching the peak. everything cycles and testing the boundaries. HIS generation has said enough.

in so many ways. (he talked me down yesterday, lol)

me, too. we will have to work on that. it is really for their generation to do, but we can certainly be there in support.

They're just jealous of the hot young laydeez. And prude and religious and all that jazz.

Surely there's no other reason for this! That's inconceivable!

Not seeing the connection between an individual choosing to wear makeup, and magazines photoshopping models' bodies to make them appear literally picture perfect.

our business. i am thinking.

msongs is trying to equate the wearing of makeup with the use of digital photo editing, in an apparent attempt to discredit ms. Bluhm.

Like I said. Just a guess.

There use to be laws, yes laws punishable by jail and torture, for women wearing make up. It seems the almighty rich men's club did not like the idea of women enhancing their beauty (and possibly hiding a few flaws) with make up. It's like waxing vegetables or dying the coat of a horse to make it appear less flawed. By wearing make up, women were misrepresenting their merchandise. It's why fundamentalist religious sects discourage women from wearing make up today. It hides damaged goods.

Oh a lot of BS is spilled among conservative religions going on about how you should be natural, proud and not hide behind make up. But it is Pure BS. Who really wears make up to hide? Most women wear make up to feel pretty. To enhance already beautiful features. To hide temporary complexion problems. The rich man just doesn't want to find out the next morning that the peaches and cream complexion has rubbed off.

I say we should wear make up with pride. It is an act of defiance.

thanks for posting this!

Photo manipulation and the pressure of how a woman should look are at the top of their list for research papers and speeches in the first- and second-year communication courses.

congrats!

message.

Maybe take a bit of the 2nd and 3rd wave.

In the text that accompanies their Before & After example, Seventeen claims they "never have, never will" Photoshop face shapes or bodies, but that they will continue to Photoshop clothing and hair. So, in essence, seems like great PR with little or me real affect on Seventeen's Photoshopping policies. They seem to simply have promised not to do something they said they never did anyway. If they were, in fact, telling the truth in the first place.
