With my modeling, I have been wanting to explore a similar type of image. However, for me, it requires being brave enough to go under the airbrush in the first place (it makes me uneasy), which is something I never allow in my modeling. Britney finally steps up to the plate and addresses the issue. It needs to be done. For once, I salute her in being brave enough to show the world what she really looks like to prove a point to young teens
Britney Spears volunteers before-and-after pictures to be shown to schools to help students overcome body image issues.
good job britney. it’s nice to see someone doing something nice with their fame. don’t get me wrong, as a designer, airbrushing and retouching makes things nice and gets people to buy things and want things. however, only adults, and not all of them, are capable of realizing that in order to make you want something, they wrap it up nicely. when you expose children to that same manipulation, it distorts their reality completely because they don’t have the skills to see what is and isn’t real.
