After watching this video, I have a better understanding of how ads distort, stereotype, and dehumanize us. Before watching this video I did see how beauty ads especially made me feel like I was not pretty enough. The ads in magazines and in the beauty isles at stores with their perfect skin, hair, and bodies, really did make me feel like I wasn’t pretty enough. It also didn’t help that I was teased as a kid for having curly hair, being short, crooked teeth, and being very muscular for a girl with all the gymnastics I did. I spent all kinds of money on make-up, hair products, and really focused on what I was eating. I was hoping that doing all of this would make me look like the models in the ads. I soon realized not only is it really expensive but it’s also unrealistic, time consuming and unhealthy. On the flip side of this, I started feeling better about myself when Arie and American Eagle stopped using photoshop on their ads so you could see the flaws that the models had. I really hope that more clothing and beauty stores stop using photoshop on their ads. I think it will give a lot of us women a confidence boost to know that models are just like us, everyone has flaws and no one is perfect so you shouldn’t try to be.<\/p>\n
