Geri deGruy's blog of art, musings, and inspiration

A white, beautiful, lithe, young woman... men might desire, women might envy... simply on the basis of appearance, of image. Add to that the skills of photographers, photoshop experts, hair and makeup artists, and you will see an image which is almost perfect, but not the real person. Then add to THAT the constant pressure to stay "beautiful" and the daily insecurity about body and face and external appearance. 

Supermodel Cameron Russell presents a TED talk about beauty and image.
