Sociological Images is a good blog that deconstructs images in ads, magazines, tv etc etc. Because they're just looking at images in general, they touch on everything from feminism to race, and of course they often post about beauty issues. Here are a few examples...
* "Derelicte" fashion à la Ben Stiller has finally become a reality.
* A dye for returning your vagina to its "natural" pink hue!
* Being photographed "naturally" has come to mean not-photoshopped, rather than non-made-up.
* The role of photography in fat acceptance.
* A plus-sized model used in a regular fashion shoot (rather than an Accent Your Body! shoot).
* And the best one: " Love magazine ... posed eight women “generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world” in identical poses. The effect, editor-in-chief Katie Grand asserts, is to demonstrate “how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements…”" ...And their bodies look almost exactly alike. Baaaah ha ha haaa.
