i look at music videos in like the early 90's. ppl had crooked stain teeth, a little over weight, thick eyebrows hardly any makeup. You can see all kinds of flaws but everyone seen them as sexy and beautiful. Now it's like if your teeth aren't perfectly straight white, perfect figure, You cant have any flaws... at all. People now days are so superfical i think i look attractive but i have all kinds of flaws... I was so suprise to see someone with flaws on tv now days... Its driving me crazy... not to be perfect but to see someone in the media with a zit or something... without implants that arent gay either? anyone agree or am i just dumb?

Hmm definitely. But I've heard countless stories of people actually meeting celebrities and getting shell-shocked at how unglam they are in reality. A lot of it is just photoshop work. Computer editing can do miracles nowadays.
Also, i suppose that it IS true that many celebs are super skinny, but I think that even then they only look glam because they are properly styled up. I have seen people recovering from anorexia in normal clothing and school uniforms and frankly, and i really really hope that they get healthier fast because being stick thin is just plain scary.
Also, much of the beauty on TV is artificial. It's amazing how much proper make-up can do!
There are of course much more healthier, natural looking celebs out there.

no you're not dumb
yes,i think indirectly there is more pressure on actors/actresses to look flawless
i mean even if they have put on weight due to understandable reasons like childbirth,illness,it would still make the cover of a magazine
i guess with more & more forms of media coming up (now there are even internet talkshows) as well as more media companies (magazine,newspapers etc)coming up, there is stiff competition & many are so hard pressed to get anything controversial or attention-grabbing
another thing could be the technology its more advanced these days
i mean the camera can zoom in more times on that zit & it would look humongous if you watch it in your flat screen tv

I agree with you. It's not only the media but, drug companies, doctors, dentists, etc.....
They know by repeatedly telling you that there is something "wrong" with you, most people will want to correct the "fault", even though one may not even exist.
Why do women feel they "need" breast implants, wrinkle removers, dyed hair, impossibly white teeth, etc...? It's because they develop low self esteem from watching all the stupid ads.
The companies are out to make money on their products and by convincing you that you "need" their products, you run out and buy them to "improve" whatever fault the product is supposed to correct.

I agree, yes. The results are: boulimia, anorexia, plastic surgery... That is awful. That is why I am always on a diet just because... I don;t know.,.. That is the impact! Those silly guys always follow those "rules of TV" and require dont know what from girl's appearance. Not everyone, fortunately/..

There is this one hot girl who appears on TV in my country, and she looks perfect until she opens her mouth--- and then you get to see her long, crooked teeth that's half grey, too. Well, she's the only one like that for all others look too perfect to be real. But, this girl....well, she's different. And, I don't even know why she still has that job, but I admire her confidence to be on the limelight with those teeth, even though she looks a trifle too conscious about her looks otherwise. LOL.
Yes, there is enough pressure to look perfect even here, but I think it's worse in America.

i definitely agree. its crazy now days. these poor kids look up to these ppl. with the media constantly bombarding us with info on who wearing what or who looks like what, it makes their lives that much harder. most willing to do whatever it takes to fit in with the rest of the crowd. even if it means drastic measures. that's the saddest part. they end up hurting what they worked so hard for.
