from the vault: are you in the right place?

and why I don't call myself an "image consultant"

These are two posts from 2021 that I’m mashing together. I’ve added a few edits in italics. I’d love to hear what you think.

SO. A couple of weeks ago I watched a presentation given by an organization of professional stylists I belong to and to be honest, I was a little horrified. In it, the woman giving the presentation was explaining some of her tricks for concealing flaws. What really rubbed me the wrong way was the way she was just matter-of-factly stating all the things that were wrong with all the women's bodies in the images she used. Spoiler alert, there was absolutely nothing wrong with these women or their bodies.
