If You're Not Angry, You're Not Paying Attention

This is a blog about the ever-elusive idea of beauty that has fascinated me since I was old enough to be aware of the expectations placed on my body.

If you scroll back to the beginning you'll notice that I started this blog as a response to the bullshit photoshopped images of "beauty" that are circulated for the public's consumption. However, after I picked at that thread, the whole thing unravelled and from it came so many other questions and issues that needed to be addressed.

Stand up and join this bitch march if you're sick of seeing already beautiful people massacred and trotted out in an ever-growing beauty pagent, set to a death march that claims millions in eating- disordered deaths, suicides, and self-hatred because no magazine comes with the warning:

"ATTENTION consumers, images may be rendered unrecognizable and thereby do not imply that you should ever attempt to become what you see!"

ilovefat: Control | Marks Left By Body Magic | Ardyss Body Magic Contol Garment (by zerbetron) this series of images depicts the affects of various contol garments on the body. Contol garments are marketed to overweight men and women to “reshape” their bodies and aid them in weight loss. By highlighting the affects of these harsh garments on the flesh, I’m hoping to shed light on the body policing and control sold to us as a form of health and beauty. These marks were left by the Ardyss Body Magic. This garment is marketed men and women to reshape and reform their bodies. Quoted directly from their website: “With Ardyss Girdles, you can look like you’ve lost 2-3 dress sizes in just a matter of minutes – 10 minutes or less, to be exact. Dubbed by majority of its users as “Body Magic”, Ardyss Girdles are the safe, painless, effortless way to look slimmer right away, and to look good and feel good about yourself in an instant.” I feel these images adaquately demonstrate just how “safe” and “painless” that process really is.
