I just came across this video and thought I would post it here. The Power of Advertising is strong. It's not necessarily good though.

This was interesting to view, Cate. With an ad slogan like, "The more you subtract, the more you add" next to a pretty but thin young woman, it's no wonder impressionable young girls develop eating disorders.
I couldn't figure out where to put this so I decided to put it here. It's a new photo gallery of stars without make-up.

Do celebrities really look just like us? hmmm... Bags under the eyes? check. Sparse eyebrows? check. Blotchy skin? check. Pale and colorless? check. Why yes, yes they do.They do look just like us! Except for Lily Allen, who's adorable even without makeup. And Marilyn Manson, who's scary looking either way.
I knew there was a good reason I refuse to go anywhere without makeup! I don't have to worry about being photographed, but you never know when you'll run into someone you know. I just wish I had a makeup artist and stylist at my disposal.
I love how Jessica Simpson looks sans make up! She looks like a college student going to Chem class! Really cute! My sister and I were looking at them together the other day!
