Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 This is a very good example of how the bulk of what we see a la media IS IMAGE, not reality. IE is all about reality which is why some people have a very hard time with it ;-) We are too encouraged to 'live a dream'. Life is too short as it is for that. Better to love what we are and have than to chase something we will never 'have' any which way. Thanks for the reality check and fun view of PEOPLE (out of their celeBRATity selves). ehugs, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hi, > I am doing a bit of cultural criticism; I'm a bit fed-up with the unrealistic images that women have to see and end up comparing themselves to. > > Here's some links to some revealing pictures :.)

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Katcha, I almost think if we look at their faces without make-up and try and look in non-judging, unbiased way as much as possible, we can see actual real beauty in those images. What would I rather have? Real beauty or a beauty that I KNOW is not really me? I don't want to have people admire the heck out of a face that, in reality, isn't even me!!!! I hardly ever wear make up for just this reason; sometimes I will use the tiniest bit of blush, but normally I use nothing because I believe I'd rather be real in every way. I LOVE how you spell celeBRATy!! lol Laurie To: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 1:36:07 PMSubject: RE NO makeup images This is a very good example of how the bulk of what we see a la media IS IMAGE, not reality.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I find that I can't stand too much routine. I love to mix things up. Sometimes I wear loads of makeup, sometimes none at all, and sometimes I fall in the middle. I don't feel that me in makeup is not me, any more than me in clothes is not me. But I often feel " not me " in too much jewelry, oddly enough. Maybe we're all just comfortable in different things? Makeup is just something fun to play with and pamper myself with. But I totally enjoy that I'm comfortable going makeup free when I feel like it, too. And I totally respect chicks who choose to never wear makeup, too. It seems very independent and confident.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I totally agree. I saw them as beautiful either way, but their no-makeup beauty seemed so normal-woman beautiful. Whereas with airbrush and makeup they looked almost like dolls. Sara > > Hi Sara, > I like your flexible viewpoint on the issue of make up :.) > > I did want to say one thing to everyone about why I posted the celebs without make up. I wasn't doing it to try and put them down as if to say, see they don't look good. I think they look fine without make up; granted they were unposed pictures. I did it because as women, we think the made up airbrushed version is how the woman really looks, and then we compare and find ourselves lacking. We need to see these celebrities without make up so we can see the truth is we don't come up lacking. We need to stop beating ourselves up when we don't look like the made up airbrushed versions. > > laurie > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: IntuitiveEating_Support > Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 6:21:36 PM > Subject: Re: RE NO makeup images > > > I find that I can't stand too much routine.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Laurie, didn't interpret your post on celebs w/o makeup in any negative way at all. Saw it as a good dose of reality! And a wonderful reminder that celebs are just human like the rest of us. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
