Beautiful Phony

Watch this clip:

Laurie Oullette talks about "the beautiful Phony"--the woman who spends her life creating the illusion that she is beautiful. When you take away the make-up, the lifts, the padded bras, the dyes and the color contacts, she is diminished to "nothing". Its so incredible to me how as technology has improved and products are so available, women can create almost any image they want, even if its 100% different than the one they were born with. Shows like 10 Years Younger and How do I look? demonstrate exactly how it works. You lose weight or get it sucked out of you, you get plastic surgery, go to a dental surgeon, you change your hair color, order different color eyes, apply 2 pounds of make-up and then smile for the camera.
The Youtube clip is from a guy who's using Photoshop, but it demonstrates exactly what America is doing.
