Negative Image

I believe this picture of Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan ( Both American celebrities) are projecting a negative body image to the women and girls across America. Eating disorders have always been aparent in America and the world. But images of popular figurs such as these have a majour influence on the youth of the country due to the power of the media and the celebrity culture in America. This image therefore acts as an idellic model of what a woman/girls should look like in America, making the viewrs feel they must copy this image leading to an lack of confidence, self esteem and a healthy diet and lifestlye across America in an attempt to 'fit in'.
