All we see in magazines are beautiful people and we question why we don't look like them. But I think people in magazines would get more prettier as time passes because the company has to sell their products to the people by showing prettier people. I think it's very important that people know models and actresses in the magazines "fake." It’s true… All we see in magazines are beautiful people and we question why we don’t look like them.

I like how you mentioned the fab-world.It's so true that the actors, actresses and models nowadays gain fame because of how they look.They use Photoshop to enhance body parts and smoothen their skin...etc...But when you look at them in real life...it's almost totally the opposite right? But actually, we shouldn't blame the celebrities. I know that some of them were FORCED by magazines to do it because they want to attract readers and fans. Regarding the advertisements, I agree with you that they are completely misleading their customers. Well, we can't really do anything about it but to make sure that the products people aim to buy are qualified enough, they should rely on advertisements that include interviews with customers and scientific proofs. Not just look at a picture and decide whether they should buy the product or not. You have some very interesting points.
