According to the ever-classy Daily Mail UK, there is now an App for your cell phone that shows you what you would look like with a boob job. Although it’s designed for women considering breast augmentation, it seems more likely that the average user is a teenage boy — or his mental equivalent.
The Daily Mail reports:
Katy Perry’s boobs have won her legions of male fans and, some might say, helped bag a famous husband. But it would seem that there is one group of people who aren’t so keen on Katy’s much admired cleavage – her own team.
Katy’s representatives have reportedly asked for her 34D breasts to be photoshopped to look smaller in a new promotional poster for VH1, in which she poses as a vintage pin-up. Katy appears strapped into a parachute harness with her arms thrown back in the poster, for VH1 Divas ‘Salute the Troops,’ due to air on TV in the US on the 5th December.
Us Magazine, a celebrity gossip publication based in the US, claimed ‘a source’ told them that:
‘It’s true. Her team thinks her boobs look too big. The …
The UK’s new Equalities Minister, Lynne Featherstone of the Liberal Democrat Party, has said that all women should aspire to be a UK size 14 (US size 10/12) with a buxom, hourglass figure, the UK’s Daily Mail reports today.
Ms. Featherstone has stated that women should not be made to feel inadequate by stick-thin models staring out at them from advertising billboards and magazines, and has suggested that all too often women are made to feel wretched about their size as they constantly compare themselves with ‘unattainable’ figures of celebrities and models.
Instead, Ms. Featherstone has said that women and girls should regard curvaceous women, such as Christina Hendricks (whose body type we’ve covered here on ZL before), as their role models. The minister described Hendricks, who plays Joan Holloway in the BBC drama Mad Men, as ‘absolutely fabulous.’
Ms. Featherstone has also said that the constant bombardment of the general public with the media’s images (often digitally-altered or airbrushed) of stick-thin models and …
Though many people were shocked and taken aback when Dove initially launched their latest big marketing tool, Real Beauty — gasp! Women sauntering around on set that were larger than a size 6 or 8? Women who clearly had “problem areas” on the backs of their thighs that were not going to be airbrushed away? The lunacy! — has taken a more mainstream step into today’s marketing, and Paula Abdul says it best: “one step forward/two steps back.”
Dove’s latest legacy with the Real Beauty campaign says it all. A new casting call wants women with “flawless skin” and “no scars.” Because clearly, slightly rippled (or even hugely dimpled) thighs and C-section scars peeking out from beneath two-piece bathing suits turn the public off to Dove, and all of its beauty products, too, so we can’t have that, right? The casting call also states that they want “fit” women, and women who don’t have tattoos. I think, Dove, that you’ve alienated at least 95% of “real” women by setting such high standards for the newest installment of your commercials and advertisements alike.
