VS Fashion Show

Last night was the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show where extremely tall, and extremely skinny models strut their stuff in front of the world with nothing but a few feet of lacy fabric on their bodies. I watch the show every year, but had an extremely different opinion about the show this time than ever before. Usually, I watch the girls walk down the runway with envy trying to pick who I would want to become in a new life, and telling myself that I need to work out until my legs don't touch anymore. However, this year I was thinking about how this is just another way that women have to live up to non-existent standards because we all know that millions and millions of men sit in front of the TV and get an "idea" of what the typical female body should look like. Then, they run around comparing every girl to the ones that they've seen in the fashion show and maybe even wonder why there are so few of them out there. It's sad that television sponsors a program that gives men a false image of women, and gives women a false sense of what they should become in order to be beautiful. I wish before the show, the producers would warn the viewers that its these women's job to stay skinny, tan, and lean. Likewise, they have the best make-up and hair artists in the world to make them look as beautiful as they do in the show, and that these women make up less than 5% of the world population. It wouldn't be the greatest solution, but at least it would be a start.
