Aesthetic Bias 1: Attractiveness Bias
For Aesthetic Bias 1, I chose to focus on the Attractiveness Bias.
I chose this cover of Self magazine which includes a picture of Vanessa Hudgens. The magazine is trying to show how a woman can "stretch [her] way slim and strong" and by including this picture of Vanessa Hudgens, Self magazine is appealing towards the tendency of people to view attractive people as more intelligent, competent, moral and sociable than unattractive people.
The irony in this example is that although Vanessa is very attractive, it doesn't mean she's necessarily Ms. Moral-Goody-Two-Shoes. If we recall, she is the one who has sent nude pictures of herself to her boyfriend, which were leaked to the internet....
Despite her actions, the picture of her on Self magazine, with her showing skin, decently in shape, and wearing decently fashionable clothing, exaggerates her features to seem attractive to both men and women alike. Women would be envious of her beauty and men would be admirable of her beauty. We might almost forget about her exhibition on the internet by just looking at this picture.
