Looking Beautiful

by Meredith Efken

Found this CNN article over the weekend on what female celebrities go through in order to look so great for the red carpet at the awards ceremonies.

My thoughts:

1) ELECTRICAL TAPE??? They use electrical tape? THERE???
2) They PAINT ON muscle definition???

3) What would it be like to have an entire team of stylists at my command to make me look like such a fantasy?

4) Tape and underarm botox aside, the dresses and shoes are still….MMMMMmmm good! :)

What do YOU think?

    I love the dresses, shoes and jewelry.

    But for the sake of being role models, I wish they wouldn’t go to such extremes to appear perfect. My teenage students (male and female) believe it’s all natural and see themselves or each other as less when they don’t reach that standard.

  2. Angela Efken:

    Hey Meredith,
    Don’t forget the tons of stuff they glob in their hair. The pounds of makeup…thier skin cannot breathe!! Not to mention, the basic food needs of most Hollywood; one pretzel, two carrot slices, and mineral water. Ah, the price to be size 1 (or less). God Bless, Angela

  3. Meredith Efken:

    I agree with both of you, Angela and Amy. And I wanted to post this because it was a good reminder to me that even those “perfect” people have saggy boobs and forget to work out. It’s just that they can hide it a lot easier than the rest of us.

    I’m going to remember this article the next time I start feeling tempted to wish I looked like them. There is no “them”–it’s all an illusion. :)
