Back in Skinny Jeans
I found this blog so refreshing. I don’t know how many times I’ve read about how some celebrity is either criticizing or appreciating the body they have. This site addresses what celebrities are stating. For example Kelly Clarkson recently discussed the issues behind photo shopping, at a Dove self esteem workshop for teens. Basically she stated that not everyone is perfect, which is a good point however, she basically stated that no matter what body you have you are never going to be good enough. What a bad message to send to teen girls. Hopefully, the statements were taken out of context, but anyway I’m glad that someone has the nerve to step up a speak out against the things these celebrities say.

I can't believe that Clarkson said such a thing, and I too hope that context was thought of when stating this. Photoshop is crazy!!!! and it really makes that "ideal" even harder to fight with.
