I have to say I am surprised and actually thrilled that this has happened. Thank you to whomever it was that fought the good fight on this one so our daughters won’t think they are beautiful if they don’t have flawless skin and unattainable eye lashes.

The ban on Photoshop has begun! The latest CoverGirl ad featuring Taylor Swift modelingNatureLuxe Mousse mascara will never run again due to “enhanced post-production” and “Photoshopping” to make unrealistic expectations for eyelashes, according to Business Insider. What? You’re telling me Tay Tay’s million-mile long lashes aren’t real?! Sadface times a million. Procter & Gamble, the parent company of CoverGirl, did disclose in fine print that the image was enhanced but still decided to discontinue running the ad. TheNational Advertising Division is cracking down on advertising that is misleading to consumers, and director Andrea Levine said, “You can’t use a photograph to demonstrate how a cosmetic will look after it is applied to a woman’s face and then—in the mice type—have a disclosure that says ‘okay, not really.’”

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen one of our favorite stars in a banned ad—17-year-oldDakota Fanning’s provocative perfume positioning in Marc Jacobs’ Oh, Lola! campaign was interpreted as “sexualising a child,” according to the British Advertising Standards Authority. Yipes! Does this mean the model is at the will of the advertiser’s artistic discretion? Looks like that could be the case. The NAD ruling on Tay’s CoverGirl ad read:

“NAD was particularly troubled by the photograph of the model—which serves clearly to demonstrate (i.e., let consumers see for themselves) the length and volume they can achieve when they apply the advertised mascara to their eyelashes. This picture is accompanied by a disclosure that the model’s eyelashes had been enhanced post production.”

Not.

It’s written in felt tip pen…and on top of that it’s lyrics to a Dixie Chicks song. I’d like to say “lame’ here but I don’t want to piss you Dixie Chick fans off.

The temporary tattoo reads: ‘Tell me everything I want to hear, like it was your favorite year’. To be fair..Taylor Swift lovers her some Dixie Chicks and credits them as her biggest influence…plus Tay-Tay is like still a teenager/baby so we’ll let her slide on this one
.

Another reason to dislike John The Playa Mayer. If you can believe the lyrics to a teenage girl pop song..he is pretty much a creepy old man.

Taylor Swift performed a few of her new songs in Paris last night and this one titled Dear John says it all.

“Dear John/I see it all now that you’re gone/Don’t you think I was too young/To be messed with/The girl in the dress/Cried the whole way home/I should’ve known.” Later, Willman reports that the second chorus finds Swift singing: “It was wrong/Don’t you think nineteen’s too young/To be played/By your dark, twisted games/When I loved you so.”

Could be a case of a creepy older dude hitting on a barely legal teenager…or could be a silly teenage girl reading way too much into an older paying her some attention.

And now…the Taylor Swift / Kanye West thing is officially over. She finally had her closure on Sunday nights MTV Video Music Awards when she performed her new song You’re Still An Innocent.

Taylor sang a somber and poignant song about Kanye West  that instead of criticizing him, sympathized with his difficult time in the spotlight and his own admissions that his ego has often gotten in his own way.

It was a bit too teenager/dramatic for me..but I suppose it’s a good thing that she got the stage to herself and a chance to end it taking the high road.

“Thirty-two and still growing up now; who you are is not what you did,” she sang softly, adding: “You’re still an innocent.”
