Bruises
We decided not to edit our latest series of Marina to see if the 'real women' movement would shower us with praise. So far we've heard nothing. Normally we don't retouch photos, but Marina has a bit of a bruise on her left thigh in this series and normally we'd Photoshop it out. But this time we left it in so we could honestly say she's a 100% real beauty, unaltered in any way. We've levelled the playing field so people can decide for themselves which kind of beauty is really real. Is it the kind we see in tv commercials praising 'real beauty' featuring women offering their flaws - their saggy bottoms, their love handles, their surgical scars - with shy embarassment and amused resignation - as evidence of beauty, or is it Marina's perky breasts, her perfectly smooth skin, her white smile and her shimmering long hair offered to us with a playful mixture of fun and pride?
Ouch, huh? That's going to leave a mark. ;-)
