God that just makes me really sad. Everywhere we look, it's "my hair can't do that," or "my arms don't look like that," or "that dress won't look like that on me." So terrible that we compare ourselves to exhaustion like this. #photoshopban

It's like the ciggie warnings. Is it working for you? #photoshopban

Never again.
Maybe schools should start a tar initiative, because seeing a picture of something does very little, but breathing in the putrid fumes of an overheated distillation does a lot. #photoshopban

*I do read nerd magazines like the New Yorker, which tries to get me to buy small portable canoes and real wool French berets.

I've had my own problems with body image, but I've basically accepted that I'm not ever going to fit my perfect ideal, and I'm okay with that. I don't have the willpower to give up my favorite foods, and I go to the gym more to feel healthy and strong than lose weight. My brother, on the other hand, is willing to go to pretty drastic lengths to keep the weight off, which kind of frightens me. #photoshopban

@katie.scarlett.o'hara: Drastic methods are worrying, but it sounds like you'll be a good influence for him. When I was 18 I pretty much just starved myself until I lost a lot of weight. It was a complete waste of time because not only was I sick all the time, but it didn't make me feel any better about myself. Yeah, I was smaller, but I'd grown up an insecure embarrassed kid and I kind of stayed that way. That's why I hate that body image is such an issue at a young age, because it's a lot harder to change than your pants size.

Of course, A-level stars have that kind of leverage, whereas the model from the ad illustrating the article was simply trying to make a living, and she did not have the same amount of clout at the time her photos were taken. Although I really applauded her decision to speak out publicly on the talk show circuit after being fired. That takes guts. #photoshopban

And I get creeped out every time I see that picture. Uncanny valley but with a photograph as a starting point instead of CGI. #photoshopban

Although, I have to say I find it somewhat ---fatuous of the Daily Fail to put the blame for girls' self-loathing on Photoshop retouchers, considering all they've done to further that end. #photoshopban

I'm not against this at all though. We put disclaimers on lots of unhealthy shit (cigs, booze, etc). Lets put disclaimers on unhealthy images. Though I'm not sure how it would work with billboards. #photoshopban

Second thought: Barack's hair is getting gray really quickly. Hot points for you Mr. Prez!!! #whitehousefamilyportrait
