A couple weeks ago the Victoria Secret Fashion Show was aired on television. Yes, beautiful models wearing only undergarments was being publicly aired on television and ANYONE (including kids) could see it.
Of course, this is a Victoria Secret Fashion Show. There will be tall, skinny models with only bras and panties on and it's common for typical, young teenage girls to watch this. Mothers would think "oh, it's harmless" or " they are coming of age" or even "they are grown up enough to watch it." Honestly, I think that mothers should have a talk with their daughters about the messages that this publicly aired fashion show is giving out.
Throughout the show, we see models with faces and bodies that corresponds to a majority of people's definition of beauty. According to this fashion show, you have to be tall, slender, tone, and able to rock in just a bra and a pantie to be beautiful. This is one of the many reason why girls would go on deadly diets and diet pills with extreme exercises just to be meet the high expectations of people's definition of beauty.
This fashion show sets the bar to every teenage girls that watches it. Sometime in their life, girls, who enjoys watching this, would want to be just like those models. They want the attention that those models receive and in order to get that attention, they must go through various of exercises, eating just a small portion of food, and taking pills that promises those girls that if they eat those pills, they'll have the sexy, toned bodies. These models are somewhat similar to the all-famous midriff. They both influence girls and causes us to have an image of the ideal beautiful.
Unlike the midriff, who uses sexuality to appeal to he fans, these models do not go to the extreme extent of sexually appealing to their fans but with their flashy outfits, the dazzling glitters, the lights, the musics, and the way how they walk down the runway causes them to have thousands of viewers who wants just to be like them.
