I was going to post something on this topic the other day, but had to really think about how to post it.

I have a great problem with perfection...it is impossible to obtain and a fools quest. We in society are now so use to seeing what is fake as real that I worry about this particular brand of social engineering.

It is very unhealthy and sends the message...'you too can be perfect! Just like this CGI'd model that doesn't exist!'

Very bad message imo. Besides the pictures on the left are natural beauty...the pictures on the right are bastardized unnatural images.

Are we really a society so obsessed with perfection that we have fooled ourselves into believing it is possible?

Prefect beauty? Only found in the bottom of a jar?

Balderdash!!!
