This short YouTube video only adds to the nonsensical standard of how we look at people in this country. After they're finished altering her for the photo, she looks nothing like herself. What does this say about the women (the subject) herself? This simply means being herself isn't good enough for the like to the fashion industry, or society. I take it the fashion industry know what sells, and what society and the people want to see. And of course it turns out they/we all want to see flawless, unrealistic images of people. The reason why these industries do things like in this video all over the world, is because we, as a species tend to judge people solely by their body image. Moreover, its not even like the women in this shoot has the chance to be judged because after she clearly a different person. Everywhere we go we are literally looking at fake images for real people. This can only make us feel bad, and influence us to maybe eat less, redundantly exercise, and just make us feel like we aren't worth much.
