The Price of Beauty: Paris



Above, you'll find the full episode clip from the Paris edition.



If you can't (or aren't interested) in watching the full episode, check out the above clip regarding anorexia and modeling in France. So sad, the woman interview was actually encouraged to get thinner and thinner during her career and finally she was down to below 86lbs! She's still battling her disease and hasn't regained a healthy weight yet. Jessica Simpson is very grounded and serious when talking to this woman.

The Price of Beauty: Skin Whitening Creams in Thailand



I'm fairly shocked that Jessica Simpson's new series, The Price of Beauty, is actually half-way educational. Certainly this clip regarding the dangers of skin whitening creams is.

This clip, of her giggling during meditation with a Buddhist Monk is less mature and respectful (but at least she admits to giggling in Church too--I guess she's an equal opportunity spiritual occasion giggler).



Oh, one other segment that could have been better would have been the profile of the Karen Women, who wear neck-rings (see below). I would have liked her to go into further detail how the neck rings compress the ribs and spine and if these women remove them, their neck muscles can't hold up their heads.
