Marie Claire

Australia's Marie Claire put a celeb on their new cover...untouched. I think this was brave of them since we all complain how they shouldn't be airbrushing celebs. However, they are still getting backlash because they did not put someone's mom or their next door neighbor on the cover to represent real women. Yes, this might have been a good move, but they finally give us a celeb without retouching and we still complain. Though it was a small step it was still a step in the right direction. The magazines that sell are the ones with celebs on it, so I don't blame them for not putting a regular person on the cover. Yes, the celeb is beautiful and still skinny by average standards, but she has cellulite and while some might say that everyone does...that is exactly the point! We rip celebs to shred for being fat and having cellulite, but they are saying take a look in the mirror...we are just like you and what you see in movies and pictures are not really us. They have a team and airbrushing to make them overly beautiful. So quit bitching and either take them as they are or an unrealistic version of themselves. Doesn't matter which, but we can't have it both ways.
