Go over to Cheeseblog and read the rant about Tyra, America’s Next Top Model, weight-myth, beauty-myth, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
And if you’re not going to do that, then just stop. Stop telling me what beauty is and isn’t. Stop telling me it exists as something that can be defined, held up for examination, emulated. Stop thinking I am so stupid as to buy this kind of lip gloss because your definition of beautiful girl is wearing that lip gloss and if I buy it I can be beautiful LIKE HER or, even better, beautiful LIKE ME, unique, because I am wearing the lip gloss that makes unique girls uniquely beautiful.
Stop telling us it’s okay to not be perfect when the definition of perfect is based on sales and marketing.
So go over there and read the whole thing.
