So could it be the media creating these fixations so we can all feel better about ourselves?\n\nIf so, it doesn\u2019t work. Creating more body parts to stress about such as the above, and muffin tops, and bingo wings doesn\u2019t make us clap with glee whether they\u2019re modelled by famous women or not. It just makes us even more down on our own bodies.\n\nNow a ridiculous new Modelling App, which evaluates a person&#8217;s modelling potential, is giving younger girls (I watched a group of 8 year olds try it) one more reason to feel bad.\n\nThe app, which costs \u00a31.19 and is backed by well known model agency asks the user to upload a facial shot and enter statistics such as their height, dress size, bra size. The app then ranks and scores you and either says \u2013 you don\u2019t match their standards or suggests what type of work you\u2019d be suited to.\n\nIt would be amusing if it wasn\u2019t such a lame idea, designed purely to make girls even more competitive and dissatisfied with their body (after all agencies know less than 1% of girls fit the criteria for modeling).\n\nHaving said that rumour has it that when Angelina Jolie\u2019s details and face scan were entered, she only came up as having &#8220;average&#8221; potential as did Kate Moss, so it\u2019s clearly rubbish too.\nMind you knowing all these things are nonsense doesn\u2019t stop any of us from believing them does it? So perhaps it\u2019s time we just stopped listening.\n\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So what do these three women have in common, mmm\u2026 let\u2019s see they are all beautiful, and famous.
