Scandalous, right? People are saying this photo-shoot is offensive because Vogue España photographed Kendall Jenner and not an actual ballerina. Even Abby Lee of Dance Moms expressed her outrage.
How dare someone dress up as something they’re not? I mean, it’s not like we don’t have an entire holiday dedicated to it. While we’re criticizing Kendall Jenner for not being a professional ballerina, let’s also take the time to look at others who are pretending to be someone they’re not.

- Kiera Knightly played soccer star Jules in Bend it Like Beckham. She admitted that she played soccer in high school, but why did they turn to this award winning actress to play this character?

2. And what about these girls who played mermaids on the show H20? I have a hard time believing that they’re actually the magical water creatures they’re portrayed as.

3. Kate Upton dressed up as a lifeguard for her photo-shoot with GQ. I mean, has she ever been a lifeguard? That outfit doesn’t seem very life-saving appropriate.

4. And can we talk about Johnny Depp portraying a pirate? I mean, you can’t just give someone a pirate costume and all of a sudden they become a pirate.

5. Meet Bruce the mechanical shark from Jaws. Bruce was not a real shark but instead was completely mechanical. I guess Steven Spielberg didn’t want to go out into the ocean to find a real shark. So instead he settled for this imposter.

6. And of course we have OneDirection who posed as sailors for the music video “Kiss Me.”

7. Remember when Katy Perry dressed up as Cheeto? I can guarantee you that this was offensive to all real Cheetos out there.

8. And lastly here’s a picture of me pretending to be Rosie the Riveter. And I was not even around in the 1940s. Sorry if I insulted you Rosie. Please forgive me.
