Beauty

Tonight my twin and I were talking about beauty.  What is beauty?  In our society it's twig thin.  Doesn't matter what color of hair you have or eye color or skin color...as long as your thin your pretty.  Add a little curve and society deems you not so pretty. 

I do NOT agree and neither does my twin.  We talked about how great woman like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Mae West, Betty Page, and all the pin-up girls with their curves and non curves were gorgeous and how society needs to change their perception of beauty. 

 Marilyn Monroe said  that "All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't."  I would like to paraphrase, "Everyone should be told they are pretty no matter what." 


I propose a movement to show that everyone is beautiful, in their own unique way.  I say we shout it from the mountain tops, from the buildings, "We are beautiful!  I am Beautiful!"

Remember
            Beauty is skinny, curvy, all body types
            Beauty is dark skin, light skin, your skin, my skin
            Beauty is big chest, little chest, no chest.
            Beauty is brunettes, blondes, redheads, all colors.
            Beauty is personality, laughter, joy, happiness,
            Beauty is everyone.

Holidays

  November...a beautiful time of year. I do love November for the most part.  The one thing I hate?  It's NOVEMBER so that means THANKSGIVING, not DECEMBER, so stop with the Christmas stuff.  Let's get through one holiday at a time people.  It's not all that hard, I promise.
  It's the one thing that annoys me every year.  I promise there is enough time to get Christmas done before Dec. 25.  We have Black Friday for a reason.  I do love Christmas don't get me wrong, but Thanksgiving is celebrated for a reason.  Be thankful we're here and alive and have people that care for us.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
  So let's get through one Holiday at a time, it's not that hard of a concept to understand.
