"Hopefully by bringing back burlesque, you'll bring back the kind of body that's round on top and round on bottom. I love cellulite and stretch marks!"
    -Anton Lavey

I am so sick and tired with society's conceptions of beauty. It's not even about being stick-thin, it's about having the perfect stomach and the perfect ass and the perfect set of boobs and perfect legs. Wake up. Not many women are born and have a flawless body. I'm really bothered by how goddamn unrealistic those beauty magazines are. If the models aren't airbrushed then they starve themselves so they achieve so-called "perfection".

Beauty does not mean being able to see every rib in your body. It's not about having the roundest ass or the perkiest boobs. It's not about having long, slender legs or a washboard stomach. Beauty is what is inside you. It's how you present yourself. It's how comfortable you are. A lot of plus size models are comfortable with who they are, and when I see them exude confidence on runways, I think they're are just so much more beautiful then models like Kate Moss or Giselle.

Why are people so superficial? Pick up any magazine and you'll see something like "Get Skinny in 3 Weeks!" or "101 Ways to Be Sexy". Why do NONE of these magazines tell you that you are beautiful just the way you are? You don't need a bunch of rich editors in some conference room in a city far away from you, telling YOU how to dress and and telling YOU that you need to loose 10 lbs for the summer.

Think for yourself. If you don't like something about it, change it, or become comfortable with you are. But don't change the way you look because of someone else. I hate the way I look, and when I do something new to make myself different, I could give a shit about what those beauty magazines will say.

The media needs to stop defining beauty and perfection for us. If a woman is comfortable being a little curvy, then stop talking trash about her. People wonder why so many people have eating disorders....just look around you. Let me feel beautiful in my own way and stop trying to compare me with the little slut next door with her ass always hanging out.

Fuck you society, and your materialistic views on what 'beauty' is. Stop influencing how little girls dress and let them think for themselves.

The whole reason this is allowed to carry on is because of girls (and women) who go out and buy those magazines. There's always going to be barsluts and hot moms who want to go and be as "sexy" as possible so that they can get 'perfect' husbands. There's girls who want nothing more than to bring home a husband who will eventually become a fat, abusive, alcoholic. I feel that women should just let themselves be who they are (in both appearance and personality), because it's only then that they'll find a guy who truly wants to be with them for who they are. If they cake on the makeup and wear revealing clothes, they're only setting themselves up for a guy who just wants what he sees (or doesn't see, for that matter). When the looks go bye-bye, then so does the husband.

By the way, fucking great choice for the album to listen to :D

I agree with you. I think however, that there are more women who feel pressure from the people around them rather then those magazines. Personally, and I know others agree, I feel a lot of pressure to not be myself because of the people around me...and that's just not with men, but other women too [because god forbid girls didnt critic one another every chance they got]. It's all ridiculous.

I eat lunch with Jerry and Nick, both of whom are short-haired, polo-wearing, church-attending boys. Jerry constantly picks at my clothing and hairstyle. Every.Fucking.Day. Now, despite this and constant pressure from people who know me (or don't), I'm not going to go buy a fucking magazine to tell me how to get buff and trim my hair all nice. I simply just don't give a fuck what everyone else wears or does. It's everyone's individual choice to be an individual or not. If one chooses so surrender thier individuality, then fuck them, because they're neither 'one', nor possess any form of 'individuality' anymore. And you think girls have it bad? Try having teachers, adults, family, everyone in the god-damned locker room, "friends", and nearly every other group I encounter tell me how I need to cut my hair. It's fucking ridiculous. Guys get it just as much as girls, what with all the girls saying how 'hott' Sunny Moore and Zacky Vengeance (I'm only going to apologize for spelling that wrong because you like A7X) are. And if it's not some scene musician who's be idolized, then it's some preppy, well-built mother fucker. And if it's not that, then it's some 'thuggin' rapper. Girls idolize all these guys and never seem to shut up about how 'hott' these bastards are. You think that does wonders for a guy's self esteem? Fuck that. Girls and guys get it equally.

Erm... sorry for the mini-rant.

While I agree that men also suffer from the pressure to look a certain way, I definitely do not think it is equivalent to those of women. Men at least have more leeway then girls. A lot of girls like men buff...or skinny...or tan...or pale...or 'scene'...or ghetto...or prep. But it's like every girls gotta have that perfect body. Men have more freedom with that, because more body types are "accepted". Men are just as notorious for talking about "hot bitches" as girls are, and probably more so. With girls, its always a competition. Get the guy to notice you and make sure you're the top. Guys do that too, but like I said, they have more of a variety of looks then most girls. Every girl wants the same thing: big boobs, tight abs and an awsome ass. Or they want skin and bones. Each of them are very hard to achieve. Girls also make up the majority of people with eating disorders....the center of that? The pressure.

Not apologies necessary.

I'm guessing you already know who Anton Lavey is, right?

Anyway.. I might not be the typical person to comment on this.. I've modeled and been a part of "THAT" world. But it is a disgusting world. I hated it - I hated the way it chews you up and kicks you to the curb and the way that it takes good people and completely changes them into evil little narrow minded selfish, insecure, materialistic UGLY people. See, society's views affect everyone - even the typical "pretty" girls that get to close to the flame - I also hate it - it really turned me off and I had to get out.

The smart people look past all the foundation and lipstick and the collegen and plastic. They see the beauty that is on the inside. After all, that beauty never fades.. or sags, lol and I'm sure many people see that beauty in you..
