Does anyone remember the Vanity Fair issue with Jamie Lee Curtis a few years ago? When they asked to feature her in the issue, she said "yes," but she insisted that there would be NO airbrushing and NO makeup. She wanted them to show her just as she was, like a normal woman, saddlebags (OK there were barely any), cellulite, skin flaws and all. Her point was that nobody was perfect and to show other women that they were OK, too, no matter what their flaws were, just love yourself as you are. It caused a really big stir and she got a phenomenal response from women from all over the world.
I can't find anything on Vanity Fair about it, but here is one picture from the shoot that was in the magazine in an article in USA Today: USATODAY.com - Jamie Lee Curtis bares the truth | I remember that, at the time I was kind of shocked at how much she had let herself go! I remember her from the movie Perfect, and this is the way she looked: Attachment 350185 I was a little disappointed that she kind of gave up on herself. After hearing her story, the body she had was kind of an accident, she really never worked for it, just good genes, and she didn't really care about hair, makeup, and clothes. So, my brain's really been messed with, I think we shouldn't have to go for perfection, but a little struggling for beauty can be fun. I would like companies to show realistic results of what their products can do, and then I can decide if it's worth it. |
