All of these images I have chosen represent some form of the key words covered in our course material. I choose to illustrate the body, relationships, make-up, the "writer" and barbie. When I looked at the image of Demi Moore with absolutely have nothing on but paint. I love Demi Moore but I feel her image future perpetuates that idea of the perfect body. I like the way relationships where presented as well as the writer. I feel as though these where true forms of these words. And if you all have noticed the real "barbies" I have in my picture. These women are beautiful and look like they have no flaws but I'm sure you all recall the video of the dove evolution commercial how much a computer can change your appearance is amazing.
