Obsessed.
Your grandmother is probably watching soaps which do at least try to portray normal everyday people. It's the magazines and adverts that are full-on in your face in every supermarket and newsagent.
You only have to look at the Daily Mail, a popular UK newspaper, which is utterly obsessed with women's appearances. (You can see it online if you really want to - to give you a flavour!)
