Beauty Rant: Friday Ego-Boost….
God knows I LOVE Kate. And she would be the first to tell you that this “photo-retouching” thing has gone a tad bit out of control…and even though I WORK in photography and see the “before”, I STILL find myself comparing my own visage to the photo-shopped perfection in magazines.
You’ve got to go check out Unattainable Beauty: The Decades most egregious retouching scandals over at Newsweek.com. Because zits, wrinkles and age spots (i.e. “life” side effects) happen, and we don’t have to feel any less beautiful for it. In fact, “life” looks pretty good on all the beautiful women I know!!!

So true! Nice message, Josi! We need to learn to look at our physical imperfections as wonderful remnants of our perfectly imperfect lives. Great message! Linda

Wow. I cannot believe that Kate looks like the pic on the left. I obviously know she’s not as perfect as the one on the left though. I know if we all saw celebs without makeup more often we’d feel a little better about ourselves. I’m not a compare-er, not at all, but I still think we need to get the message out to young girls that these people are not as perfect looking as what you see on TV.
