But why shouldn't pictures of animals or sunsets appear when I search for beauty?<BR/><BR/>I also take your point regarding how to refer to the warped-minded people running the gig. Its a sensitive issue, and I did try to walk the line rightly. I may revist my comment about homosexuality in my next post to tweak it a little.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209977342876131154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729636300291249876.post-21750083370320222372008-03-12T18:35:00.000+00:002008-03-12T18:35:00.000+00:00Thanks Nancy, I'd be honoured.Thanks Nancy, I'd be honoured.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209977342876131154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729636300291249876.post-29253527643855651892008-03-12T16:59:00.000+00:002008-03-12T16:59:00.000+00:00I'd love to include your Beauty Conspiracy article...I'd love to include your Beauty Conspiracy article on my "Sexy at Any Size!"

And I hope there are women and men of all age, class, geography, sexual orientation or whatever reading this.<BR/><BR/>Kelly Osborne and the team from the Radio 1 breakfast show recently did a before/after photo shoot showing their pics before and after they'd been air brushed. Kelly did one of herself if she were a 'size zero' to prove to the nation that she is better the size she is!<BR/><BR/>As someone who struggled with an eating disorder growing up (at 13 I measured 5ft 2" and weighed 6 stone ) I got really paranoid when I started to get healthier, hit puberty and people commented that I was putting on weight. They were complimenting that I looked better, but all the media messages told me putting on weight = getting fat = unacceptable<BR/><BR/>I've also sat with my teenage sister in tears as she believed being 5ft 8" and a size 12 made her fat and ugly - in reality she has a fabulous figure that many girls would love to have, and she has it without even trying. All she sees is stick thin girls in all the teen films and tv shows and magazines though.<BR/><BR/>It makes me sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
