I think I have a weird obsession of wanting to look at like magazines of beautiful girls. now before you thinkim a lesbian or something, im definitly not, thats not why i like looking at them. I just like to dream and in a way compare myself to them, and think if i could be that way someday or even put myself down sometimes and say ill never be beautiful. I can sit and look at vogue pictures all day and stuff. any info? what is this? any experiences?

What you have is an obsession, yes.
But, it is an unhealthy obsession. A good majority of the women you see in Vogue and other fashion magazines are fairly underweight. You need not be comparing them to you, or striving to be them - while you may wish to be beautiful, beauty is not in weight.
Do not put yourself down. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and the world's opinion of beauty is very plastic. Like the 'saying' goes, don't conform.
By the way, what you're obsessing over isn't very odd for younger girls (I assume you're anywhere from your early teens to your late teens). Most nowadays do that, but that doesn't make it a good habit.
As the first commenter/answerer said, most of these pictures are photoshopped to be as beautiful as possible. Any blemishes can be taken away, people can be made much more thin than they actually are, and even skintones can fully be changed with photoshop.
Mind you, not all models are like the ones you see in Vogue. Most runway models are forced (told they need to lose weight or they'll lose their job) to become skinny, but nonprofessional models can vary (height, age, weight, etc).

First off, those pictures aren't a true representation of what those people look like. They are photoshopped a lot!
Secondly, of course we'd all like to be drop dead gorgeous. Life is way easier for really attractive people. But, oh well, most of us aren't gorgeous. We're just okay.
Stop looking at your outside and start looking at how pretty your inside is. Be kind and good. The beauty you show from the heart will make you more attractive than any magazine photo.

You do realize that those pictures are all airbrushed, don't you? Those women don't really look that "perfect" in real life.
