Man, I can't wait for my beautiful, innocent 15-year-old daughter to think that this is the way she needs to dress for school. I'd like to think I'll be able to raise her with a little more confidence, but you know how kids get tangled up in societal-induced peer pressure.The following is just absolutely terrifying. The photos are from the newest issue of Teen Vogue. Yes, Teen. This is what they're admiring and aspiring to. (God, I hope I'm lying.)
Credit to Jezebel who, by the way, is absolutely hilarious with their captioning.

By the way, as a professionally-trained retoucher.. they ain't real. The boobs, the tan, not even her make-up was that flawless.
And on the last day of the month, I hit my promised 10th post. Holla!

Sickening. And to think Seventeen's cover models bothered me when I was in Junior High and they were shooting for the pure, natural, innocent look. I can't imagine. Grateful I have a son-but that doesn't mean he isn't impacted by the sick way women are perceived/shown/photoshopped by society and the media. Whether raising a son or daughter, we have to be on guard and sadly treat this as a war with the media. I have so much to say about this-but I will stop because he wants a cuddle and thankfully isn't at the age he care's about anything more. But, oh ....I am nauseous that was in Teen Vogue! sickened. XO you ms. Emy. hugs, K
Now that I have actually looked at all of the pictures, I think Teen Vogue should be pulled from the shelves. What the F!? UGH. Off to dreamland w/ some tea and a movie-hoping when I wake tomorrow, the media will get a clue, though they won't. Great post Em. Thank you!
The comments were too hysterical! It's like the Daily Show on Teen Models! Hey we may be on to somehting. what a great talk show that would make! Loved it! BTW...I will NEVER wear pink again. I had no idea!
looks like a transvestite to me.
