    I like how this looked at the guys perceptions of these women. Because as much as I know that the pictures I see are re-touched and re-buffed to within an inch of their lives, it’s pretty evident that some gentlemen believe that’s the real deal.
    And that’s where I find the pressure comes from, from men who think that’s what women can look like, if only we worked out a little harder, ate less….etc etc
    On another, completely unrelated note. Does anyone know where I can find magazine circulation figures, for say gossip magazines? It’s for a journalism presentation I have to do…

    I know it has been said before but seriously I would love love love to have vogue make an un-retouched issue, it would be gold even if just as a once off.
