Kate Winslet is known for lashing out against magazines that Photoshop her body,
Lifestyle Sunglasses, and now another British beauty’s retouchings have people feeling uncomfortable.
The images of Twiggy’s smooth face in recent Olay Definity (an anti-aging cream) advertisements have moved members of the Parliament to call for action,
Red Bull Hats,
A Kiss is Just a Kiss – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice, which we learned about thanks to our friends over at Jezebel.
The Liberal Democrats in Parliament want to ban Photoshopping completely on advertisements aimed at children (those under sixteen),
Street Style Devon In Rose-Colored Glasses – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice,
new era hats wholesale, and place disclaimers stating how much Photoshopping was used on all other ads. The politicians who suggested these changes are hoping that this could boost young adults’—specifically girls’—self-esteem,
Jordan Hats, or more accurately,
Baseball Hats, lessen the negative comparison a young girl could make between her body and the perfectly sleek and slim body of a model in a magazine.
In a recent LA Times article on the subject,
Wholesale NFL Hats, Professor Montana Miller cut right to the point: if advertisers make us feel bad about our bodies,
baseball hats, we are more likely to buy their product that will allegedly make our bodies or faces look better.
Advertising is about making money,
Shoppers, Unite Consumer Confidence is Up for March! – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice,
Sport Sunglasses, not making us feel better. We can get behind disclaimers,
NFL Jerseys, but bans seem to infringe somewhat on the company’s rights. Should it be the government’s job to protect us from feeling bad about ourselves?
Another suggestion the British politicians made is to implement “media literarcy” lessons that would teach kids about the behind-the-scenes hijinks of the magazine world. If people were educated and aware of the visual tricks,
new era 59fifty hats, they would be less likely to buy an anti-aging cream for which the spokeswomen had her wrinkles removed by something other than the product for sale. Money talks: if sales were driven lower,
armani sunglasses, then maybe a company would reconsider their imaging techniques,
versace sunglasses, instead of simply having it forced on them.
