Perception of Beauty – Distorted or Real?

For those of you that know my passion for working with self-esteem, this video clip won’t surprise you.  I love the Dove Foundation for all that they do to help girls and women see the distortion that is beauty.  We are constantly flooded with images that are false and literally distorted and air-brushed.  I think most of us know this right?  Just about every picture on magazines and websites have been air-brushed.  Why when are we fixated on their image and perception of beauty?

I love this video clip because it shows what the “tricks of cameras and computer imaging” does to an already attractive woman to “make her into who the add wanted her to be.”  My question for you is, how do you think she felt seeing her picture after all the changes were made?  I wonder if her self-perception changed and if she felt more or less attractive after the shoot was done.  Take a close look at yourself and determine who you are before someone else does it for you.  Then, you will find the real you!
