Acne Magazine

Wow.  I just watched that new show “Chuck” on our big screen TV, and it happens to be a show that is available in hi def.  Let me tell you, you can definitely see a lot of complexion imperfections on these actresses these days that you wouldn’t have normally seen in the days before the hi def revolution, and I’m sure they’re none too happy about even MORE pressure to be gorgeous and flawless - something that all of us ladies know is just an exercise in futility most of the time.

My example here has to do with the gorgeous blond woman who plays a secret agent who bails the minimum wage making Chuck out time and time again.  She’s absolutely gorgeous - we’re talking model material here, and at first glance her skin looks darn near perfect, but in certain shots we noticed that you could see the bumps on the side of her face, and that yes, she indeed was not perfect, although, as my boyfriend puts it she’s still “smokin”.

I kind of like this new trend, because it really shows us women (and men) that even those who appear to be flawless on screen really aren’t.  Sure, they’re still that brand of unattainable beauty that you think doesn’t exist in real life, but they seem a little more real, a little more human when you can see their blemishes and small zits on screen, don’t they?  Makes me feel a bit better about my own skin, and heck, if I had to be up on that screen, I’d hate to see what my earlier years of acne left behind in hi def!
