What Happens When I Edit Body-Shaming Magazines

Who even reads inTouch?

What Happens When I Edit Body-Shaming Magazines

It could be for being too fat or too skinny, or even too pregnant, but our female celebrities can’t seem to catch a break. I doubt anybody even reads this tabloid nonsense, but these offensive versions of literary click-bait always find a way under my skin. Therefore, I’ve taken matters into my own “too skinny” hands and have decided to use my ace editing skills to fix one of these nasty articles!

Graphic design is my passion.

Notice how most of the main article is missing—with my fabulous Microsoft Word editing skills, I have hidden it. That would be because the whole darn cover was criticizing Kim for being pregnant. The smiley face is covering a picture of Kim eating to provide that sweet scandalous evidence of her weight gain. Overall, the whole magazine is a mess, but with my help, it can succeed. She's pregnant and in love, and inTouch magazine still finds a way to drum up those sweet, sexy scandals. They also manage to take her weight (a rather private number) and plaster right on the front page! The only positive I can find here is Heidi Klum saving her family—way to go, Heidi! Basically, inTouch should hire me ASAP to work on this troubling trend of body-shaming pregnant celebrities.

Here's the original for your viewing pleasure.

Now, here we have the original article with its shocking expose on women who gain weight while pregnant. I mean thank goodness Heidi Klum saved her family though maybe she can save this magazine after. Now, I apologize for not providing the original in its entirety, I understand my readers are eager to know why Kim forgave Nene. After what you did Nene? You're lucky she's even giving you the time of day buddy!

Here's another classic edit. This time, they are roasting women for being too skinny! Everything about this was so awful that I just had to cover the whole thing up except for their smiling faces. Also, because that first edit with Kim Kardashian took so long you can only imagine the suffering I've endured. The only other part worth keeping was Justin's beautiful face because how could I remove that? Although I recently heard he was "busted" with another woman, so I'm clearly not the only person who appreciates his sweet face. With all this drama and cutting-edge reporting, it's clear these magazines don't need to rely on body-shaming. This article can and will serve as my graphic design resume as it is one of my many passions.

P.S. This edit took me literally hours. Every minute I worked on this was Microsoft Word hell.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
