I would like to take a picture of her naked body.

I would like to take a picture of her naked body.

Women, body image, and culture engage in a long conversation that intrigues and haunts us. The lines of the female body are admired and psychologically mutilated in each of us. Although culture is not restricted to a specific body type, culture plays a fascinating dance that defines and punishes our body lines.

In the case of the specimen of the Nacirema money allows for quite a freedom. I came across with young specimen that engages in mutilation practices, in order to satisfy our eyes. Linda is a 20 year old college student who loves going through multiple surgical procedures. She has undergone gastric bypass, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, chin modifications, and still succeeds in finding abusing boyfriends that put her down. Money allows for cuts of blood and a constant lack of satisfaction.

And what ever happened to diet, exercise, and working hard for a goal?
