Today, I looked at two semi-naked bodies of famous women on my phone. Both photos were posted by the women themselves.
One was in lingerie. One was nude.
One made me feel happy. One made me think FFS.
Here are the photos:
Context is important here so let me give you some. The photos of Lena in her undies went out with a piece she wrote for her Lenny newsletter about why she will no longer allow photographers or magazines to digitally alter her image. Having been shocked to see this old photo of herself on a foreign magazine, stretched, carved and digitally altered to the point where she didn’t recognise her own body, she has decided not to allow any shots of her to be retouched from now on.

I actually find it very hypocritical of KK to talk about feeling empowered and sexy by sharing her nudes and then photoshopping them and posting old photos. If she is so proud of her body why does she not post current selfies that haven't been retouched?
I think that is the real danger behind her message to young girls - you have to look a certain way to be of worth and feel good about yourself.
Since when does Lena Dunham have saggy breasts?!
