last Sunday i watched
OPRAH @ Hallmark Channel
they talked bout how women can go to d extreme to be beautiful
n d best thing about this episode,they not only focused on America..they r going global
there's this Jessica Simpson's new program..it's about exploring how women around d world define beauty and their various ways on how to achieve it..some of them are:
1. Nigeria - obsessed with hair *extensions, global hair trends n style...etc*
2. Indonesia - their au-natural beauty methods
3. India - drinking distilled cow-urines to enhance inner beauty *:O*
4. China - plastic surgeries *and a new technology - break ur legs, install metal rods between ur broken bones, n u can increase ur height between 1.5-3inches taller!*
d one that they focused more *because of d uniqueness* is China..
this is because once upon a time in China, maybe somewhere around d 60's, beauty was banned in China..this means that no long hair, no makeup, no women's clothing, no cantik2 or whatsoever..women in early China were practically in uniforms, which they thought everybody must wear masculine clothing n style..well to me,it's hell!..beauty is every women's right, it shouldn't be banned...
well, thank god it's over n now u can see some of d most stylish women in the streets of China :D
going back into d program founded by d lovely Jessica, it is actually inspired by her struggles fighting over d cruel n mindless critics about her looks her n her weight..there was this issue about d Jessica's 'fat' pictures in mom jeans..well actually the jeans is size 4!..she was size 4,dammit!..sure she looks kinda fat but she is beautiful, n she is not that fat, at all!..
another inspiring effort of her in reminding us all that being whatever size u r makes u stay beautiful, she visited this young girl named.........i don't know,i forgot..d minute i saw her,all i can see is not boneless, but fleshless young woman..seriously, for d record, she is d most anorexic woman i've ever seen!..
well, everybody has a story, n this one is her's..once she was very, very interested into modelling..and a bitch (i guess) told her that she needs to lose 10kg to get into d modelling world,n actually at the moment she is skinny enough..well, there she goes, going anorexic until now...pity her :(
n that is why nowadays some of the top designers(i.e Chanel) ban models that are size zero to model for them..i think d least is size 2..me likey Chanel!. :D
so, being skinny is not supposed to be a must for u to be beautiful or prettier..actually currently i adore SNSD girls..(haha)..becoz they are very cute n hot..but,most of the time i only think in my head that i need to be skinny to be like that...i know that they are beautiful,n they are very hot but it seems that d media is over-rating beauty in women n showing everybody that being skinny is d only way to look real hot..we all love beauty but, media is like a mind control..we can't help not to follow what they've said, but sometimes we must think that "who are they to tell u what is beautiful or not?"..
but looking deeper into this matter, d 1st thing when a woman look at herself in d mirror is.......d other primitive kind of ours, MEN
i think most women nowadays (maybe all,idk) think that they have to look good not for themselves, but for men..tell me that this is not true, but if we had to make a list on why we have to wear this,look like this,like that, well be honest, one of them will be to attract men..well, it's not anybody's fault, it's human nature :|
so.....men, if they were to be given options, of course they want a girl that is beautiful n hot..but sometimes, who are they to demand?..u can't demand anything from love..well they might say, i don't mind if i'm going to get a fat or unattractive wife, but if they are to be given a nice n pretty n hot young woman, no one can't help to not to accept that..
but it is actually depending on how we define beauty...n what we see in d word 'beauty' nowadays is depending on d influence we get..n what they say as attractive is hot, that means at least u r skinny enough...sometimes u just can't help it
but just imagine if d media says that being overweight is beautiful, but in a different aspect, it is unhealthy..
so i guess what is worth to fight for is being healthy, n being healthy means having an ideal weight..but it totally does not mean being skinny,just be healthy..so, fight for what u think that is good for u,not for anybody else..
but to me, i think it is better to have a world with variety...d last thing u want to see is everybody around u having an ideal weight with no one having extra fat here n there..n i think that is how d world keep itself balanced..but the thing is, just don't categorize among us..we do not have d right to categorize what is beautiful n what is not (in terms of weight n body size)..d only way to make the world a better place is to make EVERYBODY feel good about themselves..it is all about balance, n state of mind
i myself think that i need to lose weight,bcoz i gained weight (duhh~)..n i think that i would feel healthier if i can get an ideal weight..but then, it all depends on my effort..what we need whenever we think of this is to put our objectives in d right track..u want to be healthy, not thinking that losing weight can make u more beautiful..i am beautiful, no matter what size i am wearing now..i can be real fat, but i am beautiful...it all turns back into how we define beauty, n it is not an issue for us to categorize among ourselves
footnote: i feel like i just wrote an essay, but these are the things inside my mind..it can be a bit confusing, but d keywords i would like to stress is balance and the right to categorize between us..simply saying, be comfortable in whatever size u are n think about balance..if u are fat, hope that these 2 keywords can stop u from grabbing that slimming pills n get overdosed n apparently die alone on d bed O______o
