And I think you're right: Whatever gamification does that I'm wary of, it's really just a magnification of the existing problem. I'm still wary of it, but the root cause lies elsewhere. Which of course makes me curious to know what gamification of this sort would look like if that root concern were better addressed...Autumn Whitefield-Madranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379314479257695986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-50894531273451884952013-01-16T15:52:49.994-05:002013-01-16T15:52:49.994-05:00The idea of gamification and beauty gives me pause...The idea of gamification and beauty gives me pause. On one hand I embrace the idea that we can be playful about our appearance and the addition of technology potentially makes those bad haircuts/ colors a thing of the past, but it also perpetuates the ideal beauty myth and can lead to feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness in women, as well as a false appearance that isn't based in reality.<br /><br />It's difficult situation to address, and this stems more from the way the media idolizes the 'beauty ideals of women' and perpetuates the slim myth, rather than the beauty gamification itself being a problem. With cosmetic surgery on the rise and surgeons themselves turning away people with unrealistic expectations (Dr Spiegel from Boston says he regularly has to tell people that what they want isn't something that would work for them) it suggests that beauty game apps can't help. They are a end result of an existing problem and like all tech need to be used with the understanding that they aren't real- they can be an aid, but they shouldn't be the endgame.<br /><br />Beauty can be fun, it can be addictive and it can e damaging, and gamifying this isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something that needs to be taken as it is- a tool, and not a one stop shop to changing your life. With this in mind- have fun, but don't let it rule your life. If this sounds on the fence, it is in a way, as there is no hard and fast answer to this kind of question.<br /><br />Thanks Autumn, for another insightful post.. and for making me waste/enjoy 20 minutes trying on purple hair. x<br /><br />#Note: My browser deleted my first comment, so this one is not as lengthy as my web patience is lacking.Zara Stone, AlmostZarahttp://www.almostzara.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-33038531183306506792013-01-16T12:30:10.246-05:002013-01-16T12:30:10.246-05:00"In every job that must be done, there is an ..."In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.

Actually, I hadn't saved my results when I first tried it, so to create the graphic for this post I had no choice but to go back, and 90 minutes later...<br /><br />And yeah, that's definitely a component of it--finding inadequacies. When I did the breast augmentation and then clicked back to my regular photo I was actually CERTAIN that the app had somehow shrunk my bust because that deflated little chest couldn't be *mine.* Scary stuff.Autumn Whitefield-Madranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379314479257695986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689865906513225949.post-50845651017972208122013-01-15T07:59:15.725-05:002013-01-15T07:59:15.725-05:00Thanks for giving me a new method of procrastinati...Thanks for giving me a new method of procrastination! Haha. Seriously, though, very insightful look into this "labor" of beauty. Good read. I played around with some hair and makeup and now I want eyelash extensions. Else who am I but a common woman with short eyelashes???? I have discovered an inadequacy I didn't before fixate upon and now I shall. Good thing I couldn't find the weight app. Cameohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015898334721960589noreply@blogger.com
