We here at Full On Style are under no illusions that being the skinny chick in Hollywood is any easier than fighting for acceptance as a curvier woman. Just in case you still were under that illusion, take a peak at this project done by the waify chanteuse Natalie Imbruglia. The phenomenal fashion photographer Rankin asked celebs and musicians to destroy a photo he's taken of them over the years in whatever way they wanted. Natalie's contribution is a particularly telling example of self-destruction. Here is her pretty before picture:
In her after photo the petite singer-actress takes the pose of the terrible tabloids and circles her original with little rings of red pen, indicating the exact spots that need to be changed, hidden, air-brushed, or generally made perfect.
Her quote along side the image is a perfect summation of how the perfected media images we see all day every day impact all of us, no matter what size we are.
God, media, let us breathe! No one's perfect. It doesn't exist.
