For comparison purposes, look at The Birds Papaya's neck size on June, 6, 2024 (black outfit) vs, The Birds Papaya's neck size on the Sports Illustrated Swim week catwalk for Knix on June 25th, 2024. I've included The Birds Papaya's photo from a Women's Health feature (where no filters were used). The Birds Papaya's neck size is the same in the unfiltered images (pink swimsuit and pink back ground). When the filter is used (far left, black t-shirt) The Birds Papaya's neck is half the size as in reality. Sarah Nicole Landry a body confidence spokesperson uses body and face filters.
- This is a fantastic visual of the mind fuck.
  
  Sarah's deception hurt my self confidence and triggered body dysmorphia. I had a baby in lockdown around the same time as Sarah. Looking back I bought every thing she was selling so I could capture the confidence she displayed in perfect photoshopped images. Eventually Sarah claimed she had postpartum depression, she never showed any of that until it benefitted her. Until it trended on tiktok. Sarah showed a stunning beautiful face and the perfect stories of her new daughters daily outfits. I could hardly keep myself together. Sarah hurts women. Why do people support her? How dare she take our healing space. Sarah is selfish and greedy.
- Lmfao. That neck width tho...
- Why does she even filter her neck? Is it a bad thing to have a wide (proportionate) neck? She’s nuts.
I then placed an images of The Birds Papaya (age 39.5) from June 6, 2024 next to an image of Alix Earle (23 year old model) from the Sports Illustrated runway Miami from June 25, 2024. The Birds Papaya's body filter makes The Birds Papaya appear much smaller than model Alix Earle.
- I then placed an unfiltered image of model Alix Earle next to period panty spokesperson The Birds Papaya (same event, same date june 25, 2024). The Birds Papaya looks a different size on the runway vs the filtered videos she posts on her instagram. By doing this The Birds Papaya could trigger body dysmorphia in her followers.
  
  Damn those abs
- I LOVE that you added the .5 to her age 😆 also I'm curious what the date was meant to be, as it's currently only June 23rd and you stated the 25th. Obviously it was just an error on your end, but letting you know in case you want to edit the comments with whatever the actual date of the images is supposed to be :)
- The baby hands in the left image just sends me 😂
This is outstanding work and using Alix as the comparison is brilliant!
- I think Alix represents a 23 year old top model who trained hard for the show. She's not telling anyone she's just like us. Alix documented her breast implants. I respect Alix's honest approach and conversations about her struggles with body image. Alix appears to gave gained muscle/ weight for the show. I can watch Alix and cheer her on I don't feel the need to compare. When Sarah filters and edits I beat myself up, I'm a few years younger than Sarah and when I see her skin so perfect, I start to get angry at myself mainly because she tells us she's just like us and doesn't filter. I expect my complexion to look like Sarah's. Seeing Alix inspires me to hit the gym. Sarah depresses me.
  
  Janette too. She clearly works so hard to be strong and it always inspires me to workout too. She’s also very open about surgeries she’s had done.
  
  I’m so sorry Sarah messes with your head. I completely agree with you about Alix being an inspiration. I admire and respect honesty around changes they make to their body when they’re presenting their image to others. It’s also amazing to see the hard work they put in. She’s a professional model who takes her job seriously. Just isn’t just ‘showing up’ and playing model.
  
  I completely understand and agree!!! Fantastic documentation. Thank you!!
When I make the same comparison with 23 year old model/influencer Alix Earle, Alix's neck size remains almost the same. Alix looks like she may have added a bit of muscle for her Sports Illustrated debut.
This is great. Bravo
- 😀
Amazing documentation!!
What bothers me the most is that she's gained even more of a following of idiots! "omg you are so beautiful, thank you SI for showcasing a real woman" blah blah . Then she posts pics of her pencil neck and stick legs with her cellulite and stretch marks filtered out?! How is this body positive? And her flock don't notice 🙄 I just don't get it. Even though I'm blocked, seeing these edited pics still fuck with me. Like..she doesn't work out, she eats like shit. Meanwhile I do, and buy the newest and greatest cellulite lotion with no change. Thanks to this group I'm feeling better though. I'm learning how to see the glitches and filtering. Rant done. XO
There is NO WAY that daughter M has legs this skinny. The leg closest to TBP is so narrow, it is biologically impossible. There is no other explainable reason, other than a filter. And the fact TBP is using a filter on her child is so f*cking gross.
fuck, had to block this instance.. enough of this papaya shit. you're making me hate the fruit
