Is it ok for magazines and posters to photoshop and airbrush celebrities?
i believe that the only part that should be airbrushed is their skin and only if it's because they have a break out or something. they should never photoshop girls to be thinner, or tanner or anything like that.

Are these good role models for us to have?
they're not bad role models just because they get airbrushed/airbrush others. it's part of their job. but girls need to realize that to be successful they don't have to look 'perfect' in today's standards

Do you like to wear makeup?
yes, i'm 15, i wear powder, mascara and eyeliner and i apply it well so i don't look trampy. i no longer use makeup to hide my imperfections but to flaunt what i do like, and i think it's a great way to go.

How does it make you feel about your body when you see an edited picture of a star?
usually i feel inadequate at first but then i realize that i'm fine the way i am and if they edited me as much as they edited the model then i'd look just as "perfect" so in other words, the actual celebs are just like us.

What are ways you can look and feel better without tons of makeup?
obviously. i think tons of makeup shows insecurity, also, guys don't like that, wear natural looking makeup, like brown mascara instead of black, and easy on the eyeliner. no glitter, no sparkles, that's trampy. you can feel good about yourself by buying clothes you love and look good on the type of body you have.

Do you have a suggestion for girls who feel bad about themselves when they see pictures of stars?

you don't need to compare yourself to anyone else. everyone is different and has different qualities about them that make them attractive. find yours. i've struggled with self acceptance until i thought of all this stuff. i've been told many times that i have pretty eyes. maybe you have awesome hair, or sense of style. girls need to quit competing with each other to be the best, because we are all equal. and remember that inner beauty is always better than outer. i mean, do u feel like you'll never be popular because you're not 'pretty' enough? well what's popularity gonna help anyone once ur out of school and in the real world? at that point it's ur rockin personality that gets you far.
