Wet Dreams and False Images

This is an amazing short for anyone who works with teenagers. I would make it mandatory for my curriculum!

Here's a synopsis: "In a barbershop in Brooklyn, Dee-Dee admiringly looks at his collection of celebrity women, tacked up on the wall, in all their smooth, silky glory. In his opinion, these are women who are absolutely perfect. They've got no flaws. They are goddesses. So begins an absorbing and sometimes humorous twelve minutes, where we not only hear from Dee-Dee, as well as other barbers, but also a computer airbrush and touch-up artist, where they reveal how they do what they do. As one of the guys puts it, "(Dee-Dee's) been having wet dreams to false images." It's a brief documentary that brings new light to exactly how sex sells when it comes to photography, and how real women out there might also be dreaming to false images when they go on this diet and that diet to get the bodies that those women seemingly possess.
