Anyway, as I was tackling the crazy-ass zoo that is Harvard Square today, I noticed the September cover of InStyle. Is it just me or does Hilary Swank look odd?
What's up with her neck? And does her waist and chest seem smaller than they should be? Is this just me? It is fine if you think so, just let me know below.
Another thing that I came across recently was a huge controversy over a 16 year old model, Michaela Steenkamp. She is a contestant on the second season of New Zealand's Next Top Model. One of the photoshoots involved photos of the girls/women in very little clothing, mud, and steam fashioning headdresses and jewelry. Michaela was photographed topless with a little bit of mud covering her "naughty bits," ha ha. People flipped saying that she is too young to have such a photo taken and that it is inappropriate. The television station disagreed but changed her photo on the site by adding additional steam covering more of her chest. Now, considering this photo has not been published to the masses, I cannot post the picture for copyright issues. (I am hoping the cover above isn't an issue either.) Anyway, here is a link to the television station in New Zealand who is airing the show. Now, in my opinion, several photos taken for the modeling world could be considered art. Also, revealing photos are pretty common amongst professional models. Models know that before signing contracts and such. I am also sure that her parents were given a waiver to sign or something before the show even began to be filmed. There are people who do feel that the original photo was very innapropriate and disturbing. Some have even compared it to kiddie porn! I think in no way can it be considered along the same lines as that. Sooo...what do YOU think?
I really would love to read your opinions (if anyone actually reads this, ha ha.)
That is all for now!
