American Beauty?



Ever since I was a kid I have been aware of these fashion magazines. Once every 4 or 5 years I'll pick one up for a particular article or to read in the bathroom. It always makes me sick looking through the pictures of plastic women in grotesque circus makeup and clothing so outlandish I can't imagine it could ever trickle down to reality. I think the worst part is the advertisements which take up the bulk of the magazine. These advertisements are geared toward the improvement of personal appearance. Silkier, stronger, shiner, straighter and tangle free, flawless coverage, perfect skin, longer lashes, diminished wrinkles, holding on to and regaining the appearance of youth.
