celebrity influencers who let themselves go - the glow down.

Описание: ‘Selena Gomez has let herself go!’ ‘Lindsay Lohan has lost her looks!’ ‘Britney got fat!’ ‘Gigi had a glow down!’ - this notion that women can ‘lose their looks’, ‘let themselves go’ or have a ‘glow down’ is unfortunately rampant in our society today. In my previous video discussing the alleged ‘glow down’ of Gigi Hadid, I wanted to explore this concept as its one that I too feel personally effected by, however i think we need to delve deeper on this subject. In our society today, its as though a woman’s worth (especially if she is a celebrity or influencer) is based on her looks. And more specifically, maintaining them no matter what. If a woman shows signs of ageing? Lost her looks. If she gains weight? Let herself go. If she stops placing so much emphasis on her physical looks and instead focusses on a different area of her life? Glow down. It’s not right - but it is happening.

This video is a bit of a mishmash tbh. A rant, a deep dive - i don’t know. I wasn’t even planning to film today. But this is something I really felt like talking about after seeing my YT comments this morning. Let me know if you guys have ever felt pressured to look younger, to maintain your weight - not for health reasons but for your appearance, to snap back into shape after pregnancy - it’s all the same. it all boils down to the unrealistic expectations that we have for women as regards to their looks. WOMEN (including celebs and influencers) DON’T OWE THE WORLD PRETTY! It’s ok for us to change! It’s OK for us to prioritise other aspects of our lives other than what we look like aesthetically FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

Gosh!
