Skinny Hollywood


The best way to spread an idea or influence the use or purchase of a product is having someone influential create a "buzz factor." In Public Relations the buzz factor can make or break any organization or person. Hollywood, more than ever, is sporting a super skinny image and wearing a size 00. Sadly, girls and even grown women look to these celebs as what is perfect and beautiful. This subject has been harped on many times before but it is so true. I just feel like that there is an incredible number of girls who I know who have struggled with some type of eating disorder or body image crisis.

I would say that one third of the girls who I know have had struggles with this in the past or currently. These girls are beautiful and by no means fat. Also, this struggle is terrible and taxing on women young and old.

These celebrities need to stop endorsing the product of extreme thiness. This is creating a society of unhappy self conscience women who are influenced by the celebs they look up to.

This idea came to me last night while watching the Emmy's of how slender these women really are.

Even the "housewives" are tiny. Thier PR for super svelte is quite influentail.

Not sure what this has to do with public relations. Also, please embed your links, not just highlight a string of alphabet soup.
