Editorial cartoonist Mikhaela Reid has a new drawing (Women In Media & News, 7/29/09) in reaction to the fact that
even Vogue has an annual “Shape” issue where they patronizingly allow someone as (*GASP*) huge as Beyonce or Kate Winslet on the cover in addition to their usual sub-zero model roundupâ┚¬Ã‚¦ then offer drastic dieting tipsâ┚¬Ã‚¦ all while mysteriously claiming to promote body acceptance.
With faux-enthusiasm, Reid implores you, “don’t miss the small print under the ‘LOVE YOUR BODY!’ headlines,” which feature “LOSE Belly fat, TIGHTEN thighs” in Essence, “Your Thinner, Taller, Just-Right Wardrobe” on the cover of InStyle and of course, Vogue‘s teaser for “Longer Legs, Leaner Lines.”
All of which is spoofed in Reid’s cartoon as “Celebrate Your Curves: by melting them away with our body-positive parsnip and waterboarding organic torture cleanse!” Her summary: “Any magazine with an annual ‘shape’ issue is as empowering as strawberry-scented douche!”
Thanks for your post made here. One thing I would really like to say is most professional fields consider the Bachelors Degree like thejust like the entry level requirement for an online college degree. Even though Associate College diplomas are a great way to get started on, completing your current Bachelors opens up many entrance doors to various occupations, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online editions of their diplomas but normally for a drastically higher amount of money than the institutions that specialize in online course plans.
