Beauty

[ishte]

See... Dove has this wonderful campaign. A study showed that only 2% of women believe that they are beautiful. Much of this is because of the image of beauty that is stuffed down our throats from a very young age. What most of these beautiful women do not know or fully comprehend is that what they are seeing on the covers of these magazines is not real. They have no idea the amount of photoshopping that goes into these images before they are published. The fact is, most of these women are quite 'ordinary' looking before they go through makeup and image enhancement.

Ok.. apparently the problem is that LJ has decided to require a special set of tags to embed anything now or something. I don't know.. we'll see. I need to go to bed, and I will if this doesn't work.

Then watch this:

And then I want you to look at this.


I'm not trying to be vain or anything here. But I'm one of the 2%. Most of you should be too.

My mother always said that the most beautiful people in the world may only be pretty on the surface. They could have ugly souls. And then there are people who may not look like much but their souls shine forth making them gorgeous.

LJ has removed both of the videos I was trying to show, as well as the photograph... so you're currently replying to nothing again. I'll have to look at it tomorrow and figure out what the issue is.

Oh for crying out loud! Why is LJ doing this to you!?

In any case, what my mother used to say still rings true.

I don't know. I figured it out, but they have changed the code so that I have to include a special set of tags before it will show it, so it was just ignoring everything from what I embedded on. Which is very annoying. You can see it now.

You'd think they'd know the axiom of "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"

*nodding* What my mother used to tell me definitely goes along with what the videos say.
