Even as children our male heroes were buff, tan, and attractive, princesses had large breasts and unbelievably small waists, while the villains were monstrous and often deformed. The models and figures we often see in the media have, along with unrealistic, unhealthy lifestyles, the advantages of photo shop and airbrush on their side. Losing weight no longer has to be a battle with exercise and dieting, when you could simply have a tummy tuck and liposuction for only $12,000(smartummytucks.com). “Simple” facial plastic surgery is becoming as popular as having your teeth whitened.

Victoria’s Secret models walk down the runway in sleek lingerie and sexy underwear. Their bodies are completely exposed, from their great breasts to their rib cages.

Never will you find a blemish, cellulite, stretch mark, or any other imperfection on a model in a magazine. Public health officials in France want to combat eating disorders by enforcing magazines to say to what extent
