This post about the pretty amazing contest, is the search for the next seventeen Magazine cover girl. I am glad seventeen magazine wants a regular girl to be the cover and not a celebrity for once but despite all that, they have beauty tips on how to look, how to pose and even how to get a cover magazine hair which i still thinks implies that they want certain types of girls on the cover. This could still encourage what the definition of beauty is in our society today; which could make those who don't win feel like they are not pretty enough.

This post advertises a human sushi platter; this ad is a form of objectifying women as tables even though men also are used for the body sushi. I don't know how it is valued in japan since is originally an obscure Japanese practice, I still think is a form of objectification.
