Picture Proof

A couple weeks ago we had a discussion at the beach about women and their self-image and esteem issues. The gripe of the guys involved was that even the hottest girls all think they have things wrong with them. We eventually got into models and their bodies, and of course Tyra Banks‘ name came up.

Tyra has always been very vocal about having had self-esteem issues and still struggles with her self-image tho she has come a far way. She now makes sure to try help other young women with their issues at her camp, T-Zone, this is also a frequent topic on her talk show.

Tyra - Before & AfterTyra readily admits to the falseness of media images, and publicly decries the image retouching that so often happens in the modelling world. In this month’s issue of Self magazine, they did a reveal of Tyra with and without her makeup. Tyra herself is actually very ordinary in real life and has issues with her looks and her body like many women out there.

So to some of my doubting friends (if this helps, I know it helps me), on an average morning, you wake up looking better than Tyra Banks. :grin:

Right now I am feeling kinda amused emoticon amused and contented emoticon contented and flirty emoticon flirty...

and you know, the ‘naked’ picture of her does not look bad. It took some getting used to because I had never seen her that way, so at first it was a tad shocking, but I looked at it for a long time, and she’s still attractive.
