First Blog!

Hey guys! My first blog I decided to talk a little bit about myself and then talk about the ideals of beauty as mentioned in chapter 5.

My name is Kyla Haynie and I grew up in Great Falls, MT. My dad use to be a contractor and is obsessed with building houses so I lived in 7 houses just in Great Falls growing up. I did all sorts of sports as a child such as gymnastics, soccer, basketball, swimming, tennis, etc. I came to Bozeman because I absolutely love the beauty of Montana and I grew up coming to every Bobcat game.

I am getting a Marketing major and an International Business and Entrepreneurship minor. I love to camp, hike, fish, golf, and pretty much anything outside. Anyone that loves the outdoors don't be shy and come talk with me :)

Ideal of beauty: is a particular model, or exemplar, or appearance.

In this blog I would like to compare the ideal man and woman. I found the perfect picture to describe this.

Many commercials out there put the image in peoples head that they need to have the "perfect" body. The "perfect" body is portrayed to be a body that is perfectly tone and with washboard abs. I do not think beauty should be portrayed this way. I think more commercials should be portraying the actual self  to save both women and men from eating disorders and such. People should not have to be self conscious of who they actually are, they should be able to walk with confidence because everyone is beautiful is there own way.

This commercial is a good example of how the "ideal woman" acts. In all reality the actual woman does not act like this. This commercial gets woman thinking that they need to act this way and it also makes them think they possibly might if they buy this product.

And this commercial is a good example of how the "ideal man" acts. I love the ending words of this one!
