Heya Boys and Girlies,

Beauty is a strange and wonderous thing. But as such it is also dangerous. Think of all the women who feel it nessecary to get plastic surgery to appeal to an "ideal standard" of beauty. Research is now showing that syemmtry is less important to beauty than we thought. Apparently we judge beauty on the smoothness and luminosity of the skin.

Another problem I have with beauty is these women who feel it is nesseary to cake make up on to hide their natural features. Trying to make their face a blank canvas on which they can remake themselves. No. This. Is. Wrong. The idea of make up is to be used sparringly, to highlight your natural features. The only two times caking makeup on is okay is when you're a drag queen or youre on t.v..



That's Edward Cullen's excuse and he's sticking to it. Although I must admit I am rather guilty of finding him rather beautiful. His finely chiseled features loo... and this is what I mean about beauty being dangerous, from my rant on make up I hae slid down a slippery sloap into thinking about the finely chiselled features of a movie star.

What is our obession with fame anyway? I mean I know I'm totally guilty of spending too much time on the internet looking for genuine pictures of Daniel Radcliffe nude... (I regret nothing). For some strantge reason as a society we idolise these people for what? Their contribution to a better world? No, we idolise them because they provide welcome distraction from our tiresome lives. We follow developments in their lives, such as their engagements, weddings etc with an unabashed curisoity. And then the marriage breaks up, turns out the man's a wife beater... the woman is a drug addict and then we have the nerve to complain that these are the role models for our children. News flash. Your. Fault. It is our job as a society (and the media has a lot to answer for in regards to this) to provide role models. Instead we chose models, the kind that your jaw drops when she walks in the room. The same woman who was throwing up in the bathroom before.

It's a sad state of affairs when an attractive woman looks at a picture of herself in a magazine and wishes she could naturally achieve that beauty. Natural beauty is no longer enough. We're going to have to learn how to photoshop ourselves in our daily lives.

Love Eric.

And remember boys and girls - anorexia and drinking alcohol can both induce vommiting, but only one of them is fun.
