She admitted that it was the pressure of being a celebrity and wanting to stand out amongst other celebrities that drove her to plastic surgery. Her anxieties about wanting to stay relevant in the world of celebrity lead her to strive to achieve what she believes is the perfect body in Hollywood standards. fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/281850085 2018-09-16 05:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/281850085 fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282120788 2018-09-17 05:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282120788 fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282120815 2018-09-17 05:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282120815 fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282121453 2018-09-17 05:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282121453 fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282687287 2018-09-18 04:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/282687287 References fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284623290 Heidi Montag.

Celebrities are such people as they are readily available in the media we visually consume on a regular basis. I've come across articles that quote plastic surgeons who reveal the celebrities with the most sought after body parts: Angelina Jolie's lips, Nicole Kidman's nose etc. Knowing that these features are thought of as ideal for other non-celebrity folk, perhaps makes us question our own features and that they are not ideal? fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284625085 2018-09-22 12:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284625085 'Perfect' bodies flood the media. We all want one! And if the people in the magazines have perfect bodies, surely we should/can too? But often, that perfect body is a lie, just clever Photoshop. How can we achieve this ideal when in reality, even those perfect bodies we see in the magazines are not so 'perfect' after all. fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284626018 2018-09-22 12:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284626018 fiona_luks https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284627827 2018-09-22 12:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_luks/rhpctwp0xkmc/wish/284627827
