After 14-year-old Julia Bluhm delivered 25,000 signatures on a petition to ban Photoshop from Seventeen magazine, the editors promised not to alter girls’ faces or bodies, but didn’t outright agree to stop Photoshopping its models and celebrity subjects — and they did not commit to publishing any unretouched photo spreads.

Quand elle feuillette les pages de son magazine préféré, Julia Bluhm, 14 ans, ne rêve pas de ressembler aux mannequins immortalisés sur le papier glacé. Bien au contraire ! Cette collégienne ordinaire du Maine est devenue le chef de file d’une nouvelle révolte contre l’industrie de la mode et de la beauté, une semaine après l’annonce du magazine Vogue de ne plus employer des modèles de moins de 16 ans et de promouvoir l’image de personnes en bonne santé.

Awesome 14-Year-Old Delivers 25,000 Anti-Photoshop Signatures to Seventeen Magazine

Bluhm — an 8th grader from Waterville, Maine, who took the day off from school to come to the New York demonstration with her mother — decided to start the petition because, she says, “We know that Photoshop can be very harmful to girls because they think they have to look like these images. But it’s not even real, it’s Photoshop. So it’s kind of impossible to look like that in real life.” Bluhm coordinated her petition with SPARK, a group she’s active in and which organized today’s protest — on the SPARK Web site, you can see posts Bluhm has written about body image and ballet, her chosen extra-curricular, women athletes she admires, and why it bugs her when her classmates call her “ladylike.”

In Julia Bluhm’s ballet class, girls arrived and often declared that they were having a fat day. Or that their skin was pimply or blemished. Or that they looked disgusting. When she hears complaints in her middle school, where she is in the eighth grade, Julia said, she has one answer: “Are you crazy?”
