Victoria's Secret models without photoshop and 9 posts to make you think about beauty in a different way.

1. A raw and insightful account into the ‘real’ world of modelling

Model Cameron Russell recently painted a frank and disturbing portrait of her career as a model, tackling everything from the fashion industry’s hyper-sexualisation of women to the unattainable ideals of perfection created by photo retouching. Read her thoughts here.

2. This is what Victoria’s Secret models look like without Photoshop

You don’t often see the Victoria’s Secret models without all the airbrushing and Photoshopping. This gallery shows the models’ lumps, bumps and lines – this is as real as it gets, and reality is a beautiful thing. View the gallery here.

3. Photoshop gone horribly (and sometimes hilariously) wrong

Misuse of Photoshop can get it oh so wrong. From missing limbs and ribs to breast reductions (only on one side!), our gallery compiles the best and worst examples of Photoshop fails. See it here.

4. Supermodels are normal women too when you strip back all the make up 

When you take away all of the make up, the Photoshop airbrushing, a hairdstyler and the expensive outfits, supermodels are really, well… normal. They can be pale, pimply and tired. Just like you. Check out the gallery and see how some of the world’s supermodels scrub up with, and without, make up. You might be surprised with the results. View it here.

5. The world’s oldest supermodel, and pictures that aim to normalise the taboo around breastfeeding and nudity

This edition was a bumper one. Covering everything from beauty at 80 years old (our model is killing it!), to the magazines that put breastfeeding on the cover. You can take a look for yourself at some of the pictures that caught our attention here.

6. The ‘it’ haircut for 2013 has been announced… but does it work for everyone, everywhere? 

Model Karlie Kloss chopped her hair off recently and the fashion industry instantly announced it as ‘the’ cut to get this year. You can judge a year by a haircut apparently (1994 for example was all about the ‘Rachel’). Some of us here were a little underwhelmed. Take a look at the gallery and decide for yourself here.

7. Sideboob and underboob are all the rage in Hollywood, but why?

The Huffington Post has a whole section dedicated to the sideboob trend. Miley Cyrus is seen doing it so often people are questioning whether she owns a bra. But is this something all of us should be rushing out to follow? We vote no. Have your say here.

8. Hollywood’s double standard on grey hair

Let’s face it: many of us swoon over George Clooney, and Ben Affleck with some grey speckle is a bit of alright too. But can you count on more than one hand how many Hollywood actresses flaunt their greys? Some thoughts on going grey can be found here.

9. With not enough time in the day many of us fake it till we make it

Sarah Jessica Parker starred in a whole movie dedicated to the trend. We all have our little short cuts we’ve made our own to fake it till we make it. From beauty tips and style cheats to decorating cupcakes, this post has everything for those who try this at home. You can take a look here.
