Descrição: i discuss models, airbrushing, thinness, and sexuality in advertising. *UPDATE* there have been some good points made in these comments. i admit to being harsh in this video. but hey, it's a RANT, right? i'm supposed to be angry :P. i'd like to point out that i'm not against models. many of them are not only beautiful, but gifted and intellegent. i'm glad they can get a job doing what they do. what i AM against is people who force some (not all, mind you) of them to be unhealthily thin, and the way the media seems to say that you have to read a certain number on the scale to be beautiful. i firmly believe that beauty resides inside, and is reflected in how you take care of yourself. and everyone has a different healthy weight. for some, it's very thin. good for them. for others, it's a softer or more muscular look. just find the weight at which you are healthy and functioning at your best, and feel good about yourself! that's what i really want to say. also i'd like to say i'm flattered by the views count, which is at 299 right now! wow. thanks for watching. i also elaborate upon the "drunken" version of 'little girls', explain about the full version of that video (hopefully coming soon!), and talk about possible digital video cameras in my future. what is the media showing our young girls? images that make them feel self-conscious, imperfect, and less than beautiful. as always, humor and outtakes accompany the serioius stuff (i'm a firm believer in the "spoonful of sugar" theory; thanks, mary poppins!).
