Reality

Later on we looked at some videos on YouTube to show Flo how images are manipulated in the media, including this one:

This is what Flo said:

after watching the video made me realise that all of the super stars out there don't actually look how they look in magazines or all the other things.we looked at lots of pictures and my whole representation of popstars and how they looked shattered. (typed by Flo)

Flo is a fan of Taylor Swift so we looked at the Photoshop process behind one of her pictures:

I was really surprised because I've seen pictures of her on the front of my CD cover and she looks a lot different to how she looks in this picture to begin with. 

Although this is not about clothes, it goes some way to explaining how people can feel rubbish when they look in the mirror in comparison to the ideal. Flo is only 8 but she already receives these messages.
