In trying to become what society and the media deem as ideal, we often accept dress sizes and measurements as identity. If we are a small size, we're labeled as acceptable. She's a size 2, she's a size 8, she went from a size 14 to a size 6, etc. This sort of dialogue reflects the way in which we allow ourselves to be labeled or defined by a number.

@christinielsen I do respect this video alot. the only thing that bothers me is you drawing on your forehead and nose with a marker. Chemicals have easier acces to be absorbed into the skin and cause certain negative reaction to the brain because of how close it is to your actuall brain cells. But I did notcie you where useing crayola which primarily produces child safe markers with low to no toxens.

I spend a not insignificant portion of every day of my life resisting society's messages that I must be thinner, have bigger breasts, have a plumper ass, have baby soft armpits, not have an oily face, and not complain about it.

give me my humanity back

[Milkysup]

I just watched two minutes of some fat chick drawing on her oily ass face.

give me my time back

Wow, blazerblast. Obsess much?? You need help. I'm not joking. All these comments and you don't even know her. Obsession is not healthy.
