this magical ‘perfection’ you see in magazines ISN’T REAL. You wanna look like that? Take pics and photoshop the fuck out of them. Don’t try to look like that. You’ll only hurt yourself, because it’s not physically possible to look like, essentially, a drawing. They say art imitates life, but when you think about it, no matter how well the imitation is done, it’s still not the real thing. Retouched magazine pictures are imitation. Do you want to be a second-rate copycat failing to live up to imaginary standards posed in magazines and falsified images, or do you want to be a real, first-rate version of yourself?
