Don’t always believe what you see.
The Kardashian’s have started a huge bum photo trend which sets an unrealistic standard for girls. But before we all go thinking we don’t live up to the internet’s idea of the perfect bum, those pictures aren’t always as they seem.
This blogger, Sara Puhto, wants to show just how misleading they can be by showing two nearly identical photos with the only difference being her pose. Her reason for doing so is to try to persuade girls not to be put under pressure by what is deemed as the best way to look.
Along with two side by side photos she said:
“Not a progress photo. Since its #humpday I thought it would be appropriate to post a booty pic.
“I thought I’d show my booty from its normal straight leg standing position vs a posed booty pop position, cause in a world where the Kardashian’s bootys are so glorified, we need to remember that the photos we see of them and others aren’t always reality.
“Their butts can’t ALWAYS look that big from every angle.”
She went on to talk about the pressure on everyone else to compare themselves to what they see online and to make changes to their own bodies.
“Same goes with photos on Instagram, we see them as goals and think we’ll never be able to gain that much muscle or lose that much fat, but what you need to remember is that those photos you see are achievable, you can get to your goals, you can achieve anything with the right amount of determination, patience and effort!”
“Don’t think you can’t because you’re comparing a posed photo of a body to your everyday body. Use them as motivation but don’t get too caught up on them. YOU are beautiful and can do anything you put your mind to. I hope you have an amazing day.”
Fair play to her.
