I was just reading an article where they thought that women's depression was up because of lack of social circles that women used to have, and now we are more competitive and time-wise too busy for each other.
I think all these drive to "look good" on top of everything else, only exacerbates that issue. People's Beautiful People Issue had a bunch of stars with no makeup. It's refreshing to see, though I still say that had pretty good lighting at the very least.
I hadn't seen that Faith Hill thing. Wow! Hope this new trend takes off.
I'm also a bit skeptical about the no makeup thing, but I agree that I hope it starts a trend toward more natural cover models!

They took away Faith's personality when they retouched the picture. Made her look like a Barbie doll without a soul. I, too, am skeptical about the claim about no make-up, which to me means we can never trust the magazines either in picture or word. But I'm just untrusting.
I agree and then they need to move on to models on the catwalk. How is a woman supposed to look like a 13 year old?
I don't get why this is so bold of Jessica Simpson. She's as close to perfect as someone is going to get. This is brave?
When Jamie Lee Curtis was photographed at 50 or something, with gray hair, extra pounds, wrinkles and all, that was notable. Oprah did that, too.
To me, this seems like even more pressure, kind of a reverse message. Now we have to look this good, without make-up?
I feel a case of the blues coming on.....
