Can we stop caring yet?

I chatted with a friend about inspiring women in the religious realm, and since he doesn’t have any experience with the world I work in, I showed him some pictures. 

He lives in Manhattan, keeps up with the fashion industry, and can spot a celebrity a mile away. He looked at the authors and pastors smiling from their airbrushed bio pics and said, “Wow. It must be nice to work in an environment where you don’t have to worry about your looks.” 

I became a little defensive, because there are always whispers that the big names got bigger because of their youth or bodies. Matthew Sutton writes that Aimee Semple McPherson had a makeover a hundred years ago. And that trend hasn’t changed much.
