Let's be real. Media representations of woman are way messed up, man.
Women in the media are most commonly tall, white and emaciated (or nearly so). The resulting outcome is a world in which only a very small (miniscule!) group has the luxury of seeing themselves reflected in the media. This elite group has become even smaller with the advent of Photoshop and other digital editing software.
Many people are aware of the effects of Photoshop but don't realize how prevalent its use really is. Below are some examples of just how much the pictures in magazines are altered.
