Meghan Trainor takes down "Me Too" video after discovering she was photoshopped.

The 22-year-old songbird made a bold statement by taking down her new video to her single "Me Too." After producers put the video up, Trainor noticed that her body was digitally modified to appear much smaller than she actually is. Trainor is about body-positivity and 'loving the skin you're in.' After all, her song, "All About That Bass," is an anthem to loving natural curves. She was visibly pissed off at the producers for the video.

Trainor released a video on SnapChat, and said this:
"They photoshopped the crap out of me! I'm so sick of it, and I'm over it, so I took it down until they fix it! My waist is not that teeny. I had a bomb waist that night, I don't know why they didn't like my waist. But I didn't approve that video and it went out into the world, so I'm embarrassed."

UPDATE: A new video for "Me Too" was released 3 hours ago. It's pretty much the same one that she took down yesterday. I'm not sure what is going on with this video, but something is rotten in the state of Denmark.


My Two Cents

I've read a lot of reports that question if Meghan Trainor was really 'in the dark' about this music video. People have also brought up the subject of consent. How come the producers did not contact Ms. Trainor regarding the photoshop issue?
While people continue to speculate about what is going on, Meghan Trainor is clearly, and understandably, upset by the photoshopping of her curves.

As someone who is a fan of a few of her songs, my favorite being body-positive "All About That Bass," I was appalled by the photoshopped version of the video. Not only was the photoshop unnecessary, it was done in such a way to make her appear like she wasn't human.

I can't wait to see what the actual video looks like. You get those photoshoppers, Meghan Trainor! trainor

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
