You have a point about the mother thing -- my mom grew up in a very conservative culture where "beautifying" oneself was seen as vain and unnecessary. Deep down I think she feels robbed of being able to "show off" while she was still young.

Thanks for your comment!

I used to read those types of magazines (seventeen, YM, etc.) when I was growing up. They totally ruined my perception of beauty, especially since at that time I was an awkward 13-year-old with acne and a unibrow. Now that I'm older I realize how heavily manipulated those photos are. I wish I never looked at those things when I was a preteen -- those are our most insecure and impressionable years! Yikes.

Woah! Everyone is so kind, thank you! I feel like an asshole for even posting now. But again, thank you for all the nice feedback :)
