Inspired by Anne’s video<\/a> and this experiment<\/a> from POTSC, here’s the real me:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(RSS & Facebookers, there’s a video here. Come check it out<\/a>.)<\/h5>\n

The real me is missing half an eyebrow because of a waxing mishap several years ago.<\/p>\n

The real me doesn’t like to smile with my teeth because they aren’t super white.<\/p>\n

The real me has really dry skin, with acne on my chin and around my lower lip.<\/p>\n

The real me has a persistent chin hair that I have to tweeze at least once a week.<\/p>\n

The real me is developing crows feet and frown lines around my eyes and forehead.<\/p>\n

The real me is about 75 pounds overweight and wears a size 16\/18.<\/p>\n

The real me rarely, if ever, looks as good in real life as I do in my profile pictures.<\/p>\n

And that’s the point of the whole experiment.<\/p>\n

The plasticness on social media is getting out of hand. Without getting too “Christina Aguilera” on you\u2014we are all beautiful and don’t need to hide behind photoshopped and perfectly cropped photos. Your value is inside of you. The real you<\/strong> is beautiful.<\/p>\n

Are you wearing a mask? Are you willing to take it off?
\nIf so, let the real you shine in your profile pics for the next 7 days.<\/h3>\n

Leave links to the Real You in the comments below and\/or use the hashtag #realme<\/a> on twitter\/facebook to join the movement.<\/strong><\/p>\n
