Katie Perry is one of the biggest pop stars of all time, penning five #1 hits from her latest album "Teenage Dream," appearing on the cover of nearly every magazine, and, as expected from a pop star of her caliber, has become a mega sex symbol.
Perry, known for her cute, baby-like face, clean Proactive-cured skin, and perfect body, has become the desire of men all around the world, and the envy of many women. Her marketing team has coined her as the girl-next-door with a naughty side, and she sings songs about kissing girls and waking up in Vegas.
However, Katy's career hit a rocky point when her husband, fellow celebrity Russell Brand, uploaded a candid photo of Katy in the morning without makeup. In this photo Katy looks far from perfect, and the world seemed to be angered, as if they had all been tricked. The truth is, in our modern culture, we never truly know what any celebrity, or person of envy or desire, actually looks like before the makeup, photoshopping, and airbrushing.
What followed for Katy was a massive publicity tour, including magazine interviews and TV appearances, all to "explain" why she looked the way she did without makeup- citing that she is not perfect, nor is anyone. Although her response was respectable, is it the fact that she needed to apologize/explain in the first place that is concerning.
