Looking like a living doll, girls photoshop the hell out of photos, glomp makeup and fake lashes on. Use circle lenses to make the eyes look bigger wich is known to cause damage to the eyes and sometimes blindness. It's been all over the news.

I felt it was important to touch on the fact that my background is one in which straight teeth were the mark of a larger social symbol and that differs between cultures. But this idea of having a beauty ideal is something that is worldwide and I find it fascinating, albeit troubling. Thanks Stacey!

I'm glad you acknowledged your own cultural context in this. My favorite part of this post: "One thing remains glaringly obvious: Everywhere, women are in the business of changing our bodies and appearance to fit some ideal. This is a transnational epidemic." It's so true. Great post. Thanks! :) Hey Heather! I’m glad you acknowledged your own cultural context in this.
