Paying to go from the a-list to the c-list

This is a really well written commentary on what women do to themselves for someone else's idea of beauty.

I read it. Didn't get any of the celebrity references other than Audry Hepburn. I agree with the article in general. I do not share the typical western media ideal of beauty, I think largely due to never watching a lot of television and growing up in remote small communities, and think that a lot of it is quite insane. I mean - just as one example - has anyone here seen the ******** orange people? Bitches look like oompa loompas! o__O

I see orange chicks in yoga pants all the frigging time at work. @___@ I don't know why it is so shameful to be the colour that you're born with. Plus...how is orange even remotely attractive? gonk

Personally, I'm already getting greys (wtfff genetics xd ), but I'm not going to dye them. They look 'distinguishing', lol. I like the different things about people. It's what makes life interesting! Or at least in terms of looking at people, but I figure that applies to every thing. It'd be really boring if nothing strange happened, or if people didn't have any quirks in their personalities, etc.

UGH I hatehatehateeee orange people! its not naturalllll scream

also, I think Im supposed to be getting greys or something soon, my mom got grey/white hairs at an early age, but I'd never know if I have any or not since I dye my hair every month or so. Though, I haven't dyed since early march.
