So you walk into your appointment with your beauty consultant and say, “I want to look JUST like this!” as you eagerly point to the photos you’ve downloaded of your favorite celebrity. “Sure”, they reply; and so the process begins…highlights, lowlights, waxing, plucking, water bras, push-up bras, and on and on, until YOU finally disappear. What’s left to represent you is the image of this character that you and the beauty industry have created.
Television has inundated us with make-over shows that constantly give biased suggestions on how to fix your “problems”. You’re either too fat or too skinny; your hair is too short or too long, your hips are too wide or not wide enough, your butt is too big or not big enough. Here is the point, by whose definition of beauty are they measuring? In some cultures a fuller, rounder figure signifies a woman who is fertile and perfect for childbearing. In other cultures smaller breasts are much more enticing. The French have a saying that when it comes to breasts, “anything more than a mouthful is wasted!”
Clothing designers and the media will continue to add to your “fix it list” if you allow them.
And they’ve come up with a formula for perfecting every woman:
3 cups of silicone
5 cups of spray tan
6 ounces of hair, nail and eyelash extensions
2 color contacts
1 can of air brush make-up
Proceed with the following instructions: Preheat yourself with incredible frustration. Mix the above ingredients in large bowl and (the combination doesn’t necessarily have to be smooth) and bake. Top the dish with one pair of skinny jeans, two 4½-inch stilettos and serve!
