After reading "Inventing the Cosmo Girl" I decided to explore how the whole cosmo girl persona can actually rub off on people. In the video I have posted above you see Mila Kunis posing for her cover cosmo girl shoot. She says that her favorite look is jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of flip flops. But, in order to become a cosmo girl and get the cover of the magazine, I am sure Mila did not leave her home every day dressed for comfort. Perhaps becoming a notable name caused her to crumble under the pressures of what a typical acceptable girl should look like, causing her to leave her t-shirts and flip flops behind. The pressures of what girls should look like rubs off on every one, especially the famous, who usually stand for individuality but conform to the norms of dress.
