Following a motion from Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson, airbrushing, the process of making models look more attractive with computer sorcery, has been banned from make-up adverts in the UK.
GOOD.
Anything which takes steps to demand honesty from the media regarding human attractiveness, and removes the ridiculous, lie-based pressure on people, women in particular, to look prettier is welcomed by me.
This means we are bombarded by less impossibly attractive images every day of our lives, thus reducing the change of our self-esteem being decimated every time we step outside or switch on the TV.
The sick game which cosmetic manufacturers and fashion labels play with people's sense on self worth in order to sell stuff and make money has got to stop. Lest we wake up one doleful morning to find all our women and two-thirds of our men have starved themselves to death.
Congratulations, Jo!
