Beauty Commercial

The first commercial, being a girl who starts out just a normal average girl with her own style. Distracting hair, a little acne, not really skinny, but not fat either; those are the first things i noticed about the lady. Then as time goes by she is gets her hair re-done, eyebrows plucked, and make-up on. This apparently wasn't good enough for the company. They then had to put her picture on the computer and photo shop it; make her neck longer, eyes bigger, smile prettier. Nothing ever seems to be good enough for anyone anymore. All magazine, billboards, posters, etc. always seem to have the skinniest ladies and the best looking men. Yeah that's cool, but what ever happened to the average person. I am sick of seeing a clothes magazine with some beautiful, tall, skinny, tan girl wearing the clothes. Sure I think its cute on her, but how will I know what it looks like on me, an average sized girl, that cant just be photo-shopped into the outfit! People try to hard to be the person in the magazine or on the billboard. It's not just girls either, its guys to. They are starting to harm there bodies to be that one person. No one really takes the time to realize the photo shop that was done. Girls are becoming anorexic, boys are taking steroids. It's not just that though, we can try to stop this. People are harsh now-a-days. Be honest, most peoples first thought if they see a obese person isn't, "Oh wow! I bet they are great on the inside!" It's more like, "Oh wow! Maybe they should lay off the donuts!" Yeah maybe an obese person can fix themselves in a healthy way and go on a healthy diet to change how they look on the outside, but you need to stop and take a minute to get to know the inside. Just like they always say "You can't judge a book by its cover!" We know that we all want to be that amazing looking movie star, but if we were all like that then everyone would look the same! It would be boring! Sure we can go tanning, work out, get plastic surgery, but lets get back to reality people! Just face it, no one is perfect!
