The media uses models as a
representation of perfection, the ideal body image. What most people don’t know
is that even those models with the supposed perfect body don’t believe that
actually is the perfect body. I interviewed a model, Micki Le, which has been
involved in the industry for a couple years. The modeling industry believes the
ideal is to be size 0, tall, and with no muscles, butt, or boobs. Le stated in
an interview that she would actually prefer to be able to have muscles and a
bigger chest, but being in the industry limits that. This just goes to show
that the “perfect” body image is unattainable because it is ultimately up to
personal perspective. We are trying to achieve a perfect body that is not even
perfect to the person with it ideally. Have your own body image and be happy in
your skin because you are beautiful. Perfect is only a perspective.
