If there is a thesis statement in Emily Ratajkowski’s somewhat muddled new essay collection, it’s that physical beauty—in particular, a near-perfect, if outdated, sort of beauty—is a heavy cross to bear, CBattan writes.
, is a compelling examination of intellectual-property-rights issues in the fashion and modelling business. Short of bankrupting herself to cover legal fees, social media was Ratajkowski’s only recourse.“I tweeted about what a violation this book was, how he was using and abusing my image for profit without my consent,” Ratajkowski writes.
In another essay, Ratajkowski recalls a sponsored vacation that she takes with her husband to a luxury resort in the Maldives, where she obsessively checks the “like”s she’s receiving on her Instagram photos. On the beach, she spots a group of Muslim women in head scarves; she reads an article about Kim Kardashian; she wonders why she’s selling herself for a free vacation.
It would be dishonest to claim that there isn’t something a little galling about a beautiful woman—a beautiful, thin, straight white woman—complaining about how difficult it is to be perfect-looking. We know that, even outside of the entertainment industry, appearance plays an outsized role in women’s success. Plenty of research has shown that attractive people are heavily rewarded in all aspects of life; beauty is a certifiable privilege.
