All the controversy about skinny models will soon be old hat. HP have now developed a new ‘slimming’ feature for their digital cameras, which makes people thinner at the touch of a button (found via Seth’s blog).
Which has left me rather confused. I hate to think of the sort of world I’m bringing my daughter up into and the images of ‘beauty’ with which she is already being bombarded.
But I know that if I had such a camera the temptation to use the slimming button would be utterly irresistible.
I know the feeling. I can relate to it. My daughter is bugging me to get all those diet pills and if she’ll know about this “crash diet” camera, I can’t imagine her reaction.
I know what you mean too. I would hate it if my daughter grew up as self conscious about her weight as I was/am…at the same time..a skinny camera? are you kidding me? Of course I would buy it!!
