Do you recall the scene from The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy pulls aside the curtain and learns that the wizard on the giant screen isn't actually there and that the truth is much more... regular? On social media, this is becoming more and more common; prior to the wizard, everyone on Instagram pretended to be immaculate. If the last couple of years has taught us anything, it's that individuals, both famous and not-so-famous, are finally pulling back the curtain on social media to give a more accurate representation of the world. Jessica Simpson, like Rihanna, was not ashamed to display her leg hair and her swollen pregnant feet and ankles to the world. While Kim Kardashian's sister continues to be open about her battles with psoriasis, Kendall Jenner didn't hide her acne.
These genuine experiences aren't only calming; they're also altering how we view ourselves. And they're urging media outlets, casting directors, and advertising to follow suit. It becomes simpler to understand that our bodies are not flawed, they’re what makes us “human”. If becoming a "celebrity" means you have to attain impossible beauty standards, then nobody wants such a life. These famous people, in all their sincere and humble magnificence, are telling us not to be ashamed of our bodies, no matter how they look.
(As you know as I always say no picture is bad or worse but they're not picture-perfect or what you might usually see from me!) "
Aaron says, "I'm not ashamed of my body, maybe I'm too skinny, maybe I'm too short but the one thing I know is I love my fans my family, my girlfriend, and my friends."
She added, "Most of the time, you only see the good days, but like any of my between shots, Instagram only depicts a little portion of the lives of the people you follow or the work that went into a single photo or brief video of their day. Avoid comparing your 12-second highlight reel to someone else's."
