FOXNews.com - More Stars Without Makeup - Slide 86 of 86
Posted using ShareThis
ok, so we look at these women (and one man) and we think "wow, they are beautiful" and we wish we looked as good as they do. Well here's a picture slide show to prove that celebrities really do look like the rest of us. The question then becomes, does it really matter if they look like that when we know know that they really don't? It also brings to mind the transition of radio stars to the cinema screen...you could probably take it one step to the side with silent movie stars transitioning into "talkies" and how some of the stars didn't do so well because they didn't have that great of a speaking voice. We could also think about how some of these people have become relevant for merely for being pretty. Back when our media consumption was made up of primarily printed sources these types of people, and the content they create, would either have a very small following or no following at all.

But we are influenced by what we SEE, not by what we KNOW to be true, right? We generally don't rationalize "Nah, she doesn't really look like that; if I had as many make up artists and as much money, I could look good/better, too." No, instead we absorb the image and see them as the ideal.
