Doll Face

Well, about Doll Face. Personally, I sort of looked at is as like a metaphor of society and how we are almost expected to change just to conform to what we see on television and in magazines. It made me think about how we, especially girls, are made to feel like we are never good enough and if that if we don’t look like the models on TV or in magazines then we are not pretty or cool. We are made to feel like we have to keep changing to look like others so that we can be acknowledged and so that we feel like we fit in. Society had implanted this crazy idea in our heads that we have to try to ‘kill’ ourselves just to be pretty or beautiful or cool or popular. They make us think we have to be perfect, which is impossible, so when we can’t obtain it, it can cause us to actually kill ourselves with stress by attempting to obtain what is unobtainable. Striving and stressing over something you cannot achieve can be unhealthy but they still pressure us to look ‘perfect’ and they try to tell us we can’t be perfect unless we buy things from them or something along those lines.

Peace&Love,
