Cynthia Heimel Quote

Throughout their lives, women try to pummel their bodies into some phantom ideal shape that exists only with a lot of airbrushing.... I don't blame men for this. Men seem to go for us no matter what size and shape we are. I blame capitalism. No, really. The consumer must constantly be in a state of anxious low self-esteem so that she will constantly buy lipsticks and girdles to make her feel cuter.
