I was so absolutely appalled by this website that I had to post it. It made me so upset that the media is so manipulative of women's size and shape. I knew that photos where airbrushed and retouched, but I always seem to think that models and celebrities are just as tiny as they look.

This is absolutely crazy. To think that I've spent the majority of my life so far comparing myself to a digitalized, airbrushed, altered, perfect lie! Outrage! Even after knowing that those images were airbrushed, I was still comparing myself to them in my head, and I felt the reverberations of doing so within my plumeting self-esteem. I mean, it helps to know I've been comparing myself to something this unreal for years, but I feel like I still experience the aftermath on a daily basis. I hope France passes that law. Oy. Thanks for posting this Kar.
