The body is not only being seen by certain standards but now through new technology no body is perfect. Even the body types that fit into the "type" everyone is suppose to idolize is being distorted. Models cannot any longer look at an advertisement and see their true self but an image created through software and photo editing devises. The body is becoming a thing ever so more then it did in the past thanks to the way mass media and large advertising company's are portraying "it". I think that advertising is going too far, the models are becoming younger and inhumanly skinnier and their is clearly one standard they are presenting, what they need is all different shapes and sizes making the body less "thing" like.

Comparison between Ad's and Women's Body Image
Advertising is the new standard for women as taught younger and younger in the new age. But not only is advertising changing its way, women themselves feel the need just as much to change to this new standard. The bra is no longer a place of comfort as in the older days; its now a place of flashy and sparkly desire, but for not that of the wearer. The new idea in advertising towards young women is that, its ok to change to be something that your not. In advertising like Victoria secret ad's, the main focus isn't even the product or the focus isn't even towards the buyer anymore.

As far as models go these days, I can honestly say I dont understand why a woman would want to model themselves after a six foot tall stick. I think that women are too worried about the way they look because everything isnt about looks. A girl could be a smokin hot 10, but if she has the personality of a rock, it dont really matter how good she looks. And there are guys out there that appreciate every body type. Women just need to stop going after that superficial puke and find somebody that is going to appreciate them for who/what they are.
