Aren't female celebrities with pear-shaped bodies going a bit OTT?

Here we go again guys. 




Jesus have mercy, Khloe Kardashians recent cover for Complex has turned the internet upside down (keep on breaking the internet Kardashians). The 31 year-old ‘KUWTK’ star looked fantastic in a sheer plunging leotard, showcasing her curvaceous body adorned with her beautiful long blonde/brown locks, she looks fantastic honestly however, aren’t you getting a bit tired of explicit images of women and their favourite ‘assets’ taking over your screen? 

For a few years now, female celebrities have been displaying their bottoms all over the internet and Tv, whether you want to see it or not. Its either on social media; Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tumblr or on out Tv screens being talked about on the 6 o’clock news but, why do women find the need to present themselves in a demoralising manner? 

There have been a number of cases where women have gone all out, just to resemble the stars they see on Tv but subsequently dying. I believe if the media carry on concentrating on this ‘controversial’ act, then there will be an increase in women dying due to them not having enough money to get the proper surgery, resulting in them going for the cheaper, illegal route and unfortunately taking their last breath. 

Kelly Mayhew 34, was the most recent victim of the ‘butt implant’ which was performed in basement in Queens New York. Another is Wykesha Reid 34, a mother who got hooked on the ‘booty silicone shots’ died after having her fourth black market booty shot injection. Now that is crazy. 

I asked five young men, what was the first thought that came into their head when they saw Khloe Kardashians recent complex front cover and three our of five of them didn't approve of her explicit cover. One said "it's fucking boring" and another said "media". After that, I asked how they felt about it and one comment that struck me was "it isn't very good, it's basically telling women how you're supposed to look" and that I believe is true. 

Women across the globe now feel inferior towards other women with a pear shaped figure and feel that they NEED to get that shape, if they don't obtain already. The media have a massive influence on this matter and I think that they should support every shape a women has, embrace it with open arms and champion it, to make women of all shapes and sizes feel beautiful no matter what. 

Celebrity Icons like Nicki Minaj, K Michelle and obviously The Kardashian sisters have been one of the most 'influential' stars in the 'booty catergory' but what are they trying to achieve and what statement are they trying to say? I understand that some post feminists promote this sort of behavior, and I respect that but displaying the same old promotion technique (flaunting your enormous derriere and saying that you're uplifting women's right and trying to make a change) why don't you all work together as one and come up with a creative campaign to draw in those who think against it.
