Is this how we’re representing women now???

Here’s another question: Is this what YOU look like?

These pictures are from the new issue of Love Magazine, they are suppose to be the most beautiful women in the world and the most perfect bodies in the world. **Laughing on the inside** Get outta here. I can’t imagine how this is perfection and they all look the same. Shouldn’t we be celebrating perfection in women that actually exists? You can’t say that a supermodel, or a celebrity for that matter, has the most perfect body in the world when its their JOB to maintain a certain look. “Perfection” is relative anyway because if I say that my body and my look is perfect for me then that’s IT, that also means that its gonna be perfect for you too.

The editor of Love Magazine, Katie Brand said, “it was interesting studying them all in the same pose”…. **Hand goes up in the classroom** These pictures look like they should read, “I’D RATHER GO NAKED THAN WEAR FUR”, otherwise what then is the purpose of these images? Celebrating beauty? OK, maybe IF that’s your intention but here they’re just being depicted as perfect. Interesting? No. Beautiful? YES (I’m not a hater).  Models? YES…. but what else are they suppose to look like???

Beauty is INTERESTING and MYSTERIOUS… beauty is VARIETY and WARMTH… and beauty isn’t always PERFECT….

… but hey, maybe that’s just MY house…

Say what you want… but you gotta tip your hat to Lady GaGa for pushing boundaries. How many times do we get to see a sexy dress on a woman?? But this here… this is art.

Sculptures! Art! Shape! Notice a trend? I was expecting something a little more……. revealing on Rhi Rhi but she definitely proved that less is more. True sexiness covered up.

MISS KERI BAAABY! She owned this dress. Blush pink, mermaid hem, empire waist, strapless, diamonds and grace. Flawless.

I don’t even have words for how elegant this dress is so I’ll let it speak for itself. Melanie Fiona….Perfect!

Pink looked amazing.

MERMAID HEM IS ALWAYS A STAPLE

NOW NORMALLY I DON’T DO THIS….

…I would have featured your girl Bey….. but Rhianna wore the dress 1st! SORRY!

CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR OUR FASHION NO NO’S!

*In the voice of the Mad Rapper* “Want me tell you why I’m mad son? I’ll tell you why I’m mad!!!” Have we really become a nation of people so self absorbed and slaves to vanity that we will do the most bizarre things to ourselves in order to stay young??? I had the most awesome experience recently… one that will stay with me and put a whole lot of things into perspective. I was blessed enough to meet a 104 yr old woman, I found her so beautiful and I was so curious about her life. REALITY CHECK! At the end of the day, if we are blessed enough to even make it on this earth that long, this is our fate…. to grow old with wisdom having lived a full lifetime. So why are we doing all these things trying to stay young and mutilating ourselves when we can’t go against father time? What happened to growing old with the face that God gave us? Shoot… we SHOULD be focusing on making sure we have people loving enough to take care of us at that age and not send us off to the old folks home…

*OK I’M BREATHING AGAIN, MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS STABILIZED AND STEAM IS NO LONGER FUMING OUT OF MY EARS*

This ad above is from a group of herbalists in Japan that came up with the brilliant idea of adding collegin and all sorts of other “youth serums” to peoples food, like yogurt, teas and coffee. The idea of this is expected to grow and is fastly making its way to Europe and of couse the U.S.A. (we’re so vain) This industry is expected to grow by 2.2 BIL. Folks… healthy diet, exercise and positivity will keep the wrinkles away. There is no fountain of youth

It’s like 30 degrees out in January…

At least they tried to keep each other warm

Until next time…Put some clothes on! it’s COLD
