Recently, there was a 33-year-old female internet celebrity who became popular ins. Her name is Danae Mercer.
is different from other female internet celebrities. They show exquisite photos and have a luxurious meal in the swimming pool. Dana's photos are a bit eye-catching. Looking at her ins is like watching a large-scale anti-counterfeiting scene.
Dana is committed to telling everyone what the real female figure looks like behind those perfect concave looks on Ins.
As a former magazine editor, Dana Mercer said: When I work in a magazine, we shoot at sunrise or sunset. In most scenarios, some people hold SUN DIFFUSERS and REFLECTORS to help achieve a perfect balance of shadows and light. The same thing happens on social media, but in different forms.
In the bikini photo posted by Dana Mercer, we can find that different postures and different lights can produce different effects.
In a photo, Dana posted a photo description: My butt was deliberately bent into a shadow, and the soft light obscured the cellulite and smoothed most of my stretch marks. This is very pleasing. Like it. But in another photo, I was just squatting next to the mirror, with cellulite and fat on my hips and thighs, shocking.
Just choose the right angle and light, just learn to package, and have a perfect figure like a model, you can do it too.
In the video posted by Dana, she also showed how to use PS to increase cleavage and hips, make the abdomen stronger, and eliminate stretch marks to make the skin smoother.
If you think Dana Mercer’s purpose is just to simply fight against counterfeiting and just tell everyone that the perfect and exquisite life of Internet celebrities is all fake and lie, then that is wrong.
Dana said: The danger of social media is that it makes us feel that we are seeing real life, but in fact it is not. It is all filtered into incredible, and women use this as a reference to only make themselves The real life is full of pain.
As a former model and journalist, Dana Mercer, who is now engaged in freelance work, not only wants to tell everyone that social networks are filters, everything you see is modified, but also wants to tell everything Women: should never be compared with strangers on the Internet. Accept your body, your mental health is as important as physical health.
Dana Mercer felt this way because of her own experience.
About a year ago, Dana posted her luxurious travel and fitness photos like all influential female internet celebrities, but these did not make her happy, nor did she reflect her inner feelings, because as a magazine girl Editor, she knew very well that behind the glamorousness she presented was full of real misfortune.
And these real parts are torture and destroying her. An obvious reason is: the more perfect the things she presents in , the more unbearable the real self.
I am ashamed of my fat and stretch marks, and I am tortured by my own imperfection.
She explained: Since the age of 13, pictures on TV and magazines are trying to convince her that cellulite and cellulite are abnormal and are physiological defects that women need to repair, so their obsession with their figure makes them feel that their obsession with their body make them believe that cellulite and cellulite are abnormal and are physiological defects that women need to repair. She lost weight crazy.
19 years old, she lost more than 1/3 of her weight in just 3 months, but she suffered from severe eating disorders.
Results To her surprise, she received the most praise when she suffered from eating disorders and was the thinnest.
This made Dana Mercer realize: The entire society’s discussion of women is focused on physical appearance, and no one cares about women’s mental health. And our aesthetics must expand our understanding of health, we must know what a woman is experiencing inside, and if you want to know, I will tell you that women are experiencing unprecedented struggles.
The entire social network is filled with perfect bodies, over-idealized bodies. This over-worship of perfection is destroying women's self-confidence and preventing women from accepting their true selves, because one reality is: more than 80% of women have Cellulite, considering how normal and common an imperfect body is, you realize how ridiculous it is to be forced to endure body shaming.
Dana found that she was often forced to adapt to perfection, to bear the pressure of perfection, to adapt to a certain ideal state, which made her feel unable to breathe.
She said: It's scary because you feel isolated and vulnerable, your real self is there, and you try to pretend you can't see it. Women all over the world are suffering from physical image and mental health, and our idealized physical state makes us struggle. But who told us that cellulite does not exist? Who should be ashamed of stretch marks?
On a selfie, Dana's caption made all women want to cry after watching it.
She said: I will tell myself at 13 years old, baby, More than 80% of women have cellulite, stretch marks are very common , and the thighs can be soft, obese, strong, and can have many different shapes, These are just external physical manifestations, and are constantly being packaged appearances, and we women need to support each other. Society tells us that competition is the answer, but it is not the case. Competition is a game that makes all women feel failed. I will teach you about attacks and security, I will hug you tightly, I will tell you that perfection won’t make friends, but vulnerability does build families, I will tell you that 30-year-old self, that’s what it is The work I hope to do: recognizes that we are both clumsy and messy, recognizes our true physical status, and rewrites the rules . We are not only the little girls we used to be, we are also women now, we must understand that our bodies are so wonderful and normal, even if we have been deprived of normal bodies for a long time, we can fight together for this change, we do not You should be inferior for perfection, because perfection does not exist at all.
Dana Mercer is not the first woman to have had enough of the perfection. In 2015, Taryn Brumfitt showed how women feel inferior because of their bodies in the documentary "Hug Your Body".
Taryn said: I received more than 8,000 emails, and these people shared their feelings about their bodies, as well as disappointment and heartbreak. I realized that I needed to do something for this global issue.
Taryn said: Health is not only physical, but also emotional and spiritual. We cannot look at others and determine their health by their appearance alone. We need to get out of the predicament. We should not exercise for other people’s ideal body, we should exercise for our own body.
Chessiekingg is a female internet celebrity on Ins with more than 8 million fans. In the photos she posted, there are photos of her true figure and status. She said: does not want women to feel because of their perfect condition. Pressure, because no one is perfect.
Sara Puhto, 23 years old this year, is an ins internet celebrity with more than 3 million fans. Remind her followers that by changing angles and postures, they can expose the perfect appearance.
The belly is real, peach buttocks are difficult to make, and the standard bulge and backward bulge is difficult to exist. The true reality of most women is: the belly is protruding, but the buttocks are difficult to bend backward.
Cornell University once conducted a study, and the research results showed that Men often overestimate their abilities and performance, while women are prone to underestimate their abilities and performance.
Although men often fall into self-doubt, they do not doubt themselves as frequently as women.
HP internal report also found that men apply for a salary increase or promotion when they reach 60% of their qualifying, but women often apply only when they reach 100%.
What makes women often fall into failure or miss opportunities is not their actual ability, but their attempts as much as possible because they are not confident.
This symptom is also called: Impostor Syndrome.
means that these people feel that their success is not taken for granted, not due to their talents and efforts, but attributed to the external environment, which makes them prone to giving up important career opportunities and causing them to their finances and personal harm. The root cause of women's disconfidence is the ubiquitous perfect illusion .
In a woman's life, she always plays various roles and is labeled with various labels. No one can be perfect in every dimension, but the perfect reference for women is everywhere.
We can always see malicious attacks on women everywhere:
Women who don’t even have a good body management, what qualifications do you have to complain about your husband cheating?
What qualifications do women who can’t even cook food have to be their wife and mother?
What kind of independent women are women who don’t even have a job?
…
Try to change all subjects to males, and we will find out where these attacks are vicious.
If a man has a bad figure, can his wife take it as a matter of course?
Is men not worthy of being their husbands and fathers?
As for the last item, it is impossible for a man to have no job. As long as a man does a good job, everything will be done, but when a woman has children, she needs to struggle between family and work, and finally she still has to do so. Being criticized: not a good mother, not a good employee...
Women, if they want to truly improve their sense of happiness, they can only withdraw from this competition about perfection.
We don’t need to live perfectly, we need to live realistically: respect our inner feelings, respect our true will, and accept our imperfect body.
Because perfection does not exist, trying to live a more decent life is the true realization of most women.
