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. :) I agree with both of you, Angela and Amy.

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. :)

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 Hey Meredith,

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. I love the dresses, shoes and jewelry.
