Kate Middleton's photoshopped waist


The 29nd of April was a day when every girl in the country was seated in front of the television. It was the day Kate Middleton got her fairytale wedding with a real prince and we were all invited. Not in real life though, just through television.
Kate looked gorgeous in her wedding dress from Alexander McQueen. Her waist was so slim I’m sure it made every girl that was watching jealous. To marry a prince in such a beautiful dress with such an amazing body... Who wouldn’t envy her?
I just don’t understand why Italian magazine Grazia apparently thought she wasn’t skinny enough. In the picture above Kate’s waist is slimmed to proportions that even Barbie can’t compete with. How wrong can things get? Kate was already so skinny she shouldn’t have lost one more pound, but this really is abnormal. Girls around the world look up to this woman and see her as an example. Girls will strive for a body that isn’t healthy and some of them will go to extremes to reach something that isn’t even possible for most of them. Can you imagine what this Photoshopped picture can provoke? Why are we doing this to ourselves?
I hope that one day our perception of beauty will change and that magazines too will see that Photoshop isn’t necessary. I can understand that they want to make people look prettier to sell their products, but this just crosses a line for me. Kate Middleton doesn’t need Photoshop. Neither one of us does.
