The whole body image thing. I've always, always heard people say that the "stars" are so made-up and fake. There is no way to attain their shapes. I always thought: "Yeah, cameras are magic, photoshop is magic, but some stars just look the way they do. It's fine."
But I didn't understand what they were really trying to say until just now. One of the most attractive ladies (to me) is Nicki Minaj. I even wished I had her figure at one point. And I was looking at some pics today (long story, longer search history train), and I saw some before and after fame photos.
And dang, she is not who she was. Her body is not hers. Everything has been amplified and redone. And, while I still admire her figure, I realize what everyone was trying to say. No, you really can't look like the "stars" until you have that kind of money and a will to look like the "stars".
Heck, even famous people without their makeup...they look like me! They have dark circles, just like me! Some have discolorations, wrinkles, cellulite, love handles...it's so bizarre. But I get it now.
