Példamutató trendet indított el Instagramon egy zimbabwei-angol modell, Nia Pettit. A #MyRealSelfSeptember (vagyis: Az Én Igazi Önmagam Szeptembere) hashtaggel arra akarja felhívni elsősorban a nők, illetve a fiatal lányok figyelmét, hogy
az agyonszerkesztett és agyonretusált tömegképek helyett inkább mutassák meg, milyenek ők valójában - Photoshop, smink és retusálás nélkül.
Természetesen maga Nia is posztol ilyen képeket, mivel elöljárója ennek az új mozgalomnak, amit egyre többen követnek.
It's the last month of my @AmazonFashionEu collaboration and it's been such a fun journey. This shirt is one of my favourites from my shop collection. I can't wait to wear it over and over again on my sunny trips! Have you visited my shop yet? Go and get some style inspiration for your Autumn closet. The link is in my bio. ?♀️✨ I have some bomb sweatshirts and a groovy jacket I'm excited to style too. The link is in my bio! ??? Cc: @BlackPrints #NiaTheLight #AmazonFashionEu #Ad

A modell nem tagadja, hogy maga is szerkesztgette a fotóit. Körülbelül egy éve kezdte el, hogy több követőt szerezzen, ám egy idő után ez egyfajta nyomássá alakult számára.
Végül már azt vette észre, hogy szinte teljesen kiretusálja minden bőr- és testhibáját: az aknét, a hegeket, a striákat mind eltüntette. Ha bikinis képet tett fel, előtte vékonyabbá szerkesztette a csípőjét, hogy még csinosabbnak tűnjön.
Mindez akkor változott meg, amikor Niát felkérte az Aerie fehérneműmárka, hogy legyen a kampányuk arca. A cég 2014 óta nem használ Photoshopot és nem "nyúl bele" a modellekről készített képekbe. A lány nagyon meglepődött, amikor a sminkes elmondta neki, hogy nem szerkesztik meg a fotókat.
"Azt gondoltam, te jó ég, a striáim és a fenekem ott lesznek a Times Square-en, egész Amerikában és a közösségi médiában! Aztán arra gondoltam, hogy ha már a Times Square-ig eljutottam Photoshop nélkül, ami egy hatalmas siker, miért nem tehetem ezt meg az Instagramon is?"
- mesélte Nia a Metro-nak.
A weekend of fun in the Miami sun! Cheers to new friends and experiences. Thank you @DevaCurl for having me. ?????? #DestinationDeva #DevaParter ~ Shot by the ahmazinggggg @BlackPrints ?

A modell már egy éve nem szerkeszti a képeit, ami nagy felszabadulás számára, hiszen végre büszkén vállalhatja önmagát anélkül, hogy szégyenkezne a teste miatt. Mivel ez egy nagyon pozitív felismerés volt számára, a #MyRealSelfSeptember nevű trenddel szeretné biztatni követőit és az instagramozókat arra, hogy ők is hanyagolják a szerkesztőprogramokat.
Szerencsére máris sokan követik a példáját. Íme néhány szép és természetes külsejű lány, aki elég bátor volt ahhoz, hogy vállalja a valódi önmagát filterek, Photoshop és retus nélkül.

Didn't want #myrealselfseptember to past by. For me it doesn't get any more real than messy curls, no makeup on, & the first jeans and shirt i find. We get so caught up in fashion and beauty trends that we soemtimes become disappointed with what we see in the mirror when we don't have makeup on or any other trends. The REAL you is the most beautiful attribute you have. Celebrate it, show it to the world, be proud of it & if you want to throw a parade in your honor. . Don't forget to always love yourself in your most natural state. We are all created differently & that's what makes us beautiful. Let your natural light shine through any fashion/beauty trend & that's how you'll be able to STAND OUT. . #beauty #beautyinfluencer #atypicalbeauty #realme #nomakeup #nofashion #makeup #fashion #curls #justme #ipreview

Joining in with @niathelight #myrealselfseptember and posting a no makeup selfie. I've never photoshopped my photos but I will slap on a filter without a second thought and it felt a bit weird not doing so in this photo! It's so important to love yourself exactly how you are ?✨

I often go through phases of feeling like I need to look perfect & as a result don't post certain pictures (these for example.) I don't love this angle, I don't love how my waist line looks, how my curls are dried out from the salt water, or the baby rolls on my back BUT i'm learning to love ALL of my imperfections, even the bad angles ✨ . . . . . . #biracialbeauties #selflove #myrealselfseptember #mixedchicks #bikinibod #bermuda #love #girlpower
