Being only 5ft 2" and a healthy size 12, i along with the majority of women in Britain, or even the world, sometimes feel a little bit short and plump. However i am fortunate enough to have realised that i will never be Kate Moss, and the image that most magazines portray as being 'beautiful' is damn near impossible to safely achieve.
In Britain where 'celebrity culture' is such a phenomenon, there is no escape from the flawless skin, and air-brushed bodies of beautiful famous people gracing the cover of every magazine shelf.
I love programmes like 'How to look good naked' and 'Coleen's Real Women'. They make women feel gorgeous and learn to love their curves and wobbly bits! I think it shows that Britain is really trying to make a difference to the way we perceive beauty, especially by having celebrities such as Coleen Mcloughlin, a down-to earth normal average sized woman, presenting healthy body image shows.
The new 'Dove' advert for their 'Campaign for real beauty', reveals the shocking extent in which photos are airbrushed and tampered with. At least it proves to all us 'normal-tons' that even a leggy blond model isn't perfect.
