"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.
