I lived in a communist country and in that particular country was subjected to more capitalism and advertising than ever before in my life. (I didn't expect that.) The local models were even skinnier, more plastic surgeried, and photoshopped (to an alien degree) than what I saw in American advertising. Very little variation in features, no variation in age, size etc.

I think I know which country you are talking about. It really is the worst of both systems really. I would think communism would force you into a stricter mould since competition isn’t encouraged.
