Compare/Contrast




The top picture is of a plus size model, one whom would not be the typical ideal woman for modern day society, according to magazines, celebrities, and movies. I believe thin is in now a days. The curvy model is beautiful, but looked upon as overweight or even unsexy. So many icons have struggled with eating disorders, being too thin and unhealthy. This has put pressure on girls everywhere to reach a certain standard.


Heidi Montag, a newfound pop culture icon, has alterted her appearance and was said to have undergone over ten different plastic surgeries. I believe she did this to fix herself to be the 'perfect' woman and to be eye candy to men all over the world. A lot of celebrities have gone under the knife to acheive 'perfection', but what really is perfection? The ideal modern woman has a big chest, bleach blonde hair, and a fit figure. The ideal woman is also very thin, much thinner than models from the 60's or 70's. Instead of fair skin, the new thing is a fake tan. Heidi's overall look to me is fake and unattractive. The natural look is so much more beautiful. I mean come on, she can hardly move her face!
