Celebrity Bodies

Celebrities are at the top of the social food chain. They are what we "normal" members of society aim to be. Everyone wants to be known. Everyone wants to famous. But the luxurious life of a celebrity is not as perfect as we expect it to be. Celebrities are held to perfect standards and if they are not wearing the latest styles or do not have to perfect body they are immediately judge by society. Celebrities suffer under the constant pressure to be perfect. They have extremely unhealthy eat habits to stay fit. They cannot leave their homes without getting all dress up. At any moment they can be seen without make up the paparazzi will snap a picture to criticize them. Celebrities are believed to be "better than us" and held to almost God-like standards. We want something to look up to we want to believe there is a perfection we can thrive for. Society has to realize that perfection does not exist it can only be photoshopped. The reality is that celebrities are only human. They are flawed just as we are. They may have more money and they may be well known but they are people. It is not fair for them to have to be perfect because we are flawed. They should be able to leave their house in sweatpants, they should be able to eat regularly, they should be allowed to live their lives as we do. Our society has created a paradox where people create celebrities to give themselves hope that perfection is possible but the pressure of perfection causes celebrities' demise.
