After months of pressure from a campaign led by teenager Julia Bluhm to cease unrealistic retouching of models, Seventeen Magazine signed an eight-point pact promising to “never change girls’ body or face shapes” and to feature “only real girls and models who are healthy.” The anti-retouching campaign was driven by a belief that unrealistic depictions of girls in the media leads to poor body image and eating disorders.
Seventeen magaznine maybe a good magazine for my four media texts. Marie Claire, Vogue and Nuts.
Kim Kardashian. Complex Magazine recently made a big boo-boo by printing a photoshopped picture of Kim Kardashian and accidentally publishing the untouched version online. In the original, her thighs look larger, her stomach less trim, and her skin tone less unbelievably smooth as if she were made of marble. However, she still looked great—she looked real and she responded saying just that on her blog: "I’m proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I am on the cover of a magazine doesn’t mean I’m perfect." Get it, girl. Check out both photos!
