    She (and parliament members in the UK) have also talked about banning airbrushing entirely in advertisements aimed at children and teenagers. I, for one, would like to see women (models, actresses, or otherwise) who are actually natural. Advertisements are one place to start.

    Misery has always been a badge of honor for women. Might I refer you to the 40s-50s-60s radio/TV show "Queen for a Day"? That show literally rewarded misery by having contestants tell their weepy stories, then gifted the most pitiful with a new clothes washer or something. Women have always been expected to be self-sacrificing and misery is the proof that they've done their job properly. Combe needs to do some more research.

    I’m a long time amateur photographer. I used to own my own enlarg5er and everything. I’ve been shooting digital for a couple of years now and I still haven’t bought photo `shop. Part of it is the cost, but the other part is that I think most photography is way over photoshopped, even more amateur stuff. Pioneer woman is a good example- some of the shots are wonderful, a lot are obviously overshopped.

    A lot of photos, pro and amateur, are barely recognizable. People seem less willing to deal with imperfection or work for the best natural photo you can get.

    So I’m still holding out on
    photoshop. It is tempting, but I don’t want to over rely on it the way so many people seem to.

    I agree with this 100%. We put warnings on everything, even things that couldn't possibly hurt anybody. Why not these?

    These kinds of images are wholly unrealistic and only serve as straw peolpe to highlight the nagging feeling of emptiness many people feel. Problem is, they then sell the seductive idea that that emptiness can be filled with stuff.

    But hey, if you want to believe that all girls come in Size 0 and should fuck like depraved porno stars, it's all you.

    @AndPreciousLittleofThat: Brings to mind the warnings of "adult" language. In that perspective, I think hearing the word "shit" or "fuck" spoken/sung aloud is far less damaging than the creation of self-hatred in young women.

    Look, we credit the photographer, the stylist, the designers, the makeup, the hair, the set design, the art director. The only people we DON'T credit are the model and the retoucher, who arguably have more to do with the finished result than anyone except the photographer. Just put the retoucher's name (and uh, the model's) in the credits at the bottom corner and I'd be happy.

    "How to look seriously younger" is a rather stupid statement, eh? One would think that youth is about being carefree, not seriously anything. Oh lady mags.

    Please, someone, tell me how to "scientifically, mathematically, and economically prove" a vaguely defined term.

    After reading that article, I was totally bummed out because now I am failing by not volunteering enough in my community. And also because I am afraid to try glitter eyeshadow. I guess I failed at being a lady. Again.

    Another day, another "wimmens are fucked because they're 'equal' now" article. I would just rather have one person write the honest "I hate women, get back in the fucking kitchen, bitch, let's roll back the clock you uppity thing you" article and just be done with it. Say what you will about the evangelicals, but at least they are honest to a certain degree about wanting us to shut up and be pregnant.

    I would be happier if fashion didn't dictate that teenage girls look like plumbers from behind (and I do mean behind). I've had it with the ass crack look. What the F are designers thinking? No wonder why women aren't happy. Look at the clothes they have us in.

    Thank goodness winter is here and they will be covering their usually flip flopped feet with Uggs and covering up that ass crack with a coat.

    Why is her solution giving back to the community? That's great and all, but how about joining the Women's Movement now? That seems like more apt advice in a time when uteruses are being regulated more than the banks.

    @CurtCole: there is a lot of empowerment in giving back to the community. especially if you look at giving circles and women's foundations that primarily leverage gifts from women to fund women's issues and programs to raise women out of poverty... which achieves both goals, no?

    Not the fucking glitter eyeshadow again! First it's blue eyeshadow, now glitter is back? Christ on a cracker, Fashion! I had some mascara in the 9th grade that was clear and full of silver glitter, would you like to make that popular again, too? Oooh how about we all go back to frosted pink lipgloss and painting each of our fingernails a different color with those little tiny bottles of nail polish!
