I...1) The picture really is much ado about nothing. In fact, she's had racy or risque picks in the past so its not like she hasnt done this kind of work before. <br /><br />2) While people learn and grow from experience of life they will always be compared to the things they say right or wrong. This happens a lot in the media and when you are a famous person you will be criticized for things that you say publicly. <br /><br />3) If there is one thing that i feel comes across hypocritical is the stances Emma makes and states about what Emma calls "unreal" expectations for young women and what they should achieve to look like. <br /><br />Granted, this type of photoshoot is more avant-garde than say a Maybeline shoot. But... it still reinforces this unreal perception of what young women should achieve to look like. While Emma does far more good than she could ever do bad i do think she comes across as a hypocrite when she tells young women they should be totally fine with their bodies yet Emma constantly does modeling shoots where they doll her up. <br /><br />Does someone like me really care about that? Absolutely not. Im a firm believer that there are just some people who are more gifted with beauty and looks than others. The old saying "flaunt it if you got it" comes to mind. But when you take on the mantle as an activist it most certainly will resonate with young women and cause confusion with the message you are trying to send when you keep dolling yourself up instead of being "yourself" as she puts it. <br /><br />The sad part is Emma actually looks great without all the makeup and fancy clothes. Emma does a lot of things to "buck" the system whether its her portrayal of Belle or the way she approaches life in general. It would be nice if she finally bucked the system when it comes to glamorizing women to unrealistic heights. My opinion of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264829302655468511.post-45663406815582601582017-03-03T16:53:07.794+01:002017-03-03T16:53:07.794+01:00@Ross Taggart Nonsense!

You like it and that's your choice. It's very clear that as far as you are concerened Emma can do no wrong. But why are you getting worked up so much when other people don't share your opinion. You're acting like she's your child and you must protect her from everything that might tarnish her image. She's a grown up women responsible for what she says and does. And if her fans really do believe that she's a fiercely intelligent woman, as they like to put it, why do you think she can't stand for herself? Why would she need her hardcore fans to get annoyed at people who are discussing (AND I mean DISCUSSING, not insulting, throwing tantrums, foot stamping) matters that she herself brought up. Nobody is trying to intrude her privacy, we are discussing statements that she made. It does not matter if we have met her. She's giving interviews in order to communicate to a broad spectrum of people, whom she doesn't need to meet or be aquainted to. You don't need to personally know a celebrity to be a fan of them, and you don't need that either, to discuss them.

You do realise that she did not state her views herself on the Panama Papers affair? She has a PR team, are you aware of that? Whenever things are not going to her tastes she prefers to leave statements to Luke Windsor her publicist. And she has claimed she did it purely anonymity (the offshore account you know) which is, well if I wanted to put it nicely not entirely correct. And FYI we are on the internet EVERYBODY enjoys a certain anonymity there, that does not make a civilised comment any less worthy. And by the way they were not discussing a particular outfit and Emma herself generalized it by saying so. Also opinions do not have a best before date. If a person dislikes something it's not they gonna dislike it for a little while and than it's gone.

Yes, ppl do generally expect other ppl to live by the stuff they say. And rightfully though. She's a UN ambassador, you can bet that ppl expect of her that she better promotes stuff that she believes in and lives by that. Bc you can not preach one thing and do something completely different yourself. Protecting an idol you like is one thing. Bringing up invalid arguments just to shut up any kind of criticism is lame. And don't play that she's human, she makes mistakes card. Emma never acknowledged any sort of mistake, or apologised for mistakes she might have made. So of what kind of mistake are you even talking about? If she says one thing but does not act accordingly than that is not a mistake but a CHOICE if she keeps doing it over and over again. And I'm affraid but there are some very clear patterns in Emma's behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264829302655468511.post-15268896326826190542017-03-02T21:44:30.549+01:002017-03-02T21:44:30.549+01:00It was Emma herself who opened the can of worms by...It was Emma herself who opened the can of worms by saying that she finds too revealing clothes vulgar. Simple & plain those were her words, and no, they are not out of context, but very clear. What's not to understand there when she's claiming that showing too much is vulgar? And artsy fartsy or not in that VF shoot her top is revealing much more than it's covering. So don't even try to deny it. Her nipples are not visible but pretty much all the rest. That is exactly the definition of revealing clothing. REVEALING doesn't mean showing it all. Nobody has sad she's showing everything. So putting Emma's own logic to work here: either that pic is a)vulgar or b) not vulgar bc she's applying double standards. And yes she might've changed her mind, but she did not say that anywhere. So unless she states, that she had a change of mind, her statements she made earlier stand and are still valid, no matter how old they are. By the way excusing any kind of behavior by saying oh that person is still young is not acceptable, she's of age and if she's smart than she knows what she's saying & her responsibilities. Plus she's almost 27 that is an adult age, she's not an inexperienced teen, she wants to be taken seriously, than she has to stand by what she says, that's what adults are expected to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264829302655468511.post-47420843338864593372017-03-02T20:47:14.967+01:002017-03-02T20:47:14.967+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357918401466168580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264829302655468511.post-10901493345604861892017-03-02T20:44:10.919+01:002017-03-02T20:44:10.919+01:00Your predicating you argument on the basis she did...Your predicating you argument on the basis she did something counter to her feminism Karen.
