A Response To Meghan Trainor's Retouched Music Video

The entertainment industry is full of Photoshop, touch up, editing, and an all around "fake-ness" now that technology is on the rise. People think that with the touch of a button they can make a person look perfect by changing their appearance. Photoshop is very popular in the photography and modeling industry where they will touch up and edit parts of the photo that don't seem perfect enough to the editor.

Grammy winner Meghan Trainor has always been an advocate for being yourself and flaunting whatever you got. Her popular song, "All About That Bass," preaches against Photoshop with lyrics like: "I see that magazine workin' that Photoshop, we know that shit ain't real, come on now make it stop." Meghan Trainor always shoots down anyone who talks poorly about her looks and loves her body the way it is.

On May 9, Trainor furiously posted this Snapchat story talking about how she took down her latest music video, "Me Too," because her waist was Photoshopped and she didn't give her proper consent.

She continues to apologize to her fans saying that she did not approve the video. New stations all over the nation covered this scandal which made the story go viral.

I personally don't mind a few touch-ups here and there on an Instagram post but to Photoshop someones waist entirely? That's pretty ridiculous, especially Meghan Trainor, who is always staying true to her body and curves. Honestly, whoever did this edit did a horrible job considering her waist isn't even proportionate to her butt. A huge shout out to her for sticking up for herself when she sees something she doesn't believe in and taking a stand to fix it.

Trainor demanded that her record company put out the un-Photoshopped version to show off her real curves and stay true to her "anti-Photoshop" image. You go, Meghan.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
