Magazines blasted for being glamorous and editing out cover star’s flaws.
Glamour is meant to instill yearning. It paints a picture, its art. So it makes sense for magazines to lean into the art.
But magazines tote stories and images as real life. Yearning that makes you feel good vs bad.
Such a fine line.
