A world us real-ish women aren’t normally invited to. Although she’s bared everything on her show, a fashion magazine spread is another world. I may not know her personally, but as a fellow twentysomething woman with an “unorthodox” body type (whatever the fuck that means), I’m fairly certain that Lena Dunham went into her Vogue photo shoot wanting to look nice. When used sparingly, they can elevate the raw material that a basic camera produces and make an image more radiant, more authentic in the presentation of the subject. Photoshop and Instagram, with their light-bending and pimple erasures, are not inherently evil. It doesn’t mean you hate yourself, or you’re judgmental of other people’s appearances, or any number of superficial shames. ![]() Wanting to look nice isn’t a character flaw. ![]()
