In Response to Ryan Chilelli


I think Ryan made a good point with the comparison that in earlier times the unusual sexual features were “freakish” because they had never been seen before, but today women focus on there sex appeal and enlarging there sexual features. It is not at all uncommon today for women to have plastic surgery or breast implants to enlarge their breasts and buttocks, especially famous women. I think this connects to the idea that women feel as if they’re always under surveillance, especially by men. As the women of the media are most known for these types of surgeries it makes a point that they may do this because they are always behind cameras and need to look the part. This also shows that society pays enough attention to these features that it plays a significant role. But in another view the women we see on the runways don’t necessarily feature the big bust and large buttocks, they are tiny, there’s not much too them. Why is it that its like this? Another point Ryan makes is that having surgeries is the easy way out and compared to models this may be proven completely true. Models have to put in a tremendous amount of work to get the results, which doesn’t just consist of working out but a strict diet as well. Where as the figures in the media just under go surgeries to enhance themselves, but in defense also under go significant amounts of conditioning but nothing in comparison to a model.  In comparison models in a way disfigure themselves to get the figure of accomplishment. In a slight stereotypical light the women of the media present the perfect bodies with the big boobs and large butts because that’s what most men like, and the models achieve the impossibly thin bodies. What significance does this have, why are they different in each scenario? Either way both body types are almost seen as unachievable to the working class society, its just seen as uncommon, and yet many years a go these features were seen as freakish and now society gawks over them.
 
    
“Most women want ideal body like Kim Kardashian. Actually, healthy face and ideal body of celebrities are often the inspiration to change the appearance of most women. They even do anything to imitate the celebrity, ranging from cosmetic surgery to other expensive beauty treatments.”                                       Mercedes - Benz Fashion Week Model.
