Further proof

Everyday our young girls are faced with choices. The media blasts them with images of what they should be, how they should dress and what they should do with their lives. However, there is a new plague that is growing. It's taken root in the hispanic communities and is now flowing through the social network. It's time that people spoke out about this abomination.

Everyday more and more people are drawn in off the streets to the allure of The Sharpie. This painful addiction hurts everyone.  Clearly what is needed is more education, telling our children when they are young that this is not acceptable behaviour.


Okay, seriously, look at this shit? What is with the practice of waxing off every last eyebrow hair, painting your face like a china doll and using a fucking SHARPIE to pencil in your eyebrows? (Don't get me started on the lips.) Look at the way this particular woman has chosen to manifest her addiction. Her eyebrows are Sharpied on in unnatural curves and angles, but what is worse: they're not even symmetrical. (Again, don't get me started on the lips.) She's given herself a permanent scowl, her eyebrow raised in what can only be seen as the defensive brow cock usually followed by the phrase, "bitch, ju don't know me! i will cut you!"

Priscilla Cabellos (pictured above) is probably best known to you right now as the woman who wrote a fictious essay for her 6 year old daughter to win a Hannah Montana contest. Her daughter won and was getting her prize make-over (wearing that stupid pink and maribou version of Marty McFly's 'life preserver' and a platinum blonde wig, brandishing a microphone pretending to be this weeks Pop Princess) when the mother admitted to contest organizers that the essay was not true. The organizers then retracted the prize tickets (the mother said in an interview with Mat Lauer that she "refused to accept them") and the girl didn't go see Hannah/Miley-Whozits.

Look at what the Sharpie has done!

Cabellos said in that same Today Show interview that she made a poor judgement. Obviously, this is a woman who is no stranger to poor decisions. Just look at her face! First of all, she thought this whole practice of Beauty-by-Sharpie was a good idea. It's never a good idea. Number two, she went on national television to interview with Mat Lauer dressed in a track suit and she thought this make up was a good idea for said exposure. Her face is all over the internet now (and being used by angry bloggers such as myself). She's already said she's had to move out of her home because of the hoax, she's just fanning the flames!

Sure, the Sharpies are 99 cents as opposed to your basic Mabelline or Cover Girl eyebrow pencils which cost at least 5 times as much, but obviously she's shelling out cash for that two-shades-too-light foundation, blonde hair dye gone wrong AND the lipstick of doom. So honestly, what's a few bucks more on an eyebrow pencil. Hate sharpening the pencil? Get liquid. I don't care. Just don't use the fucking Sharpie! Her lawyer is sitting right next to her. A lawyer! He's sapping up more money from her (that she probably could use to have bought the damn Hannah Montana tickets in the first place, mind you) that could be spent on proper makeup supplies. Do I expect her to be converted to the ways of MAC? No. Do I think she should go to her local CVS or Walgreens and spend $25 on a basic kit of proper (ie. not permanent marker) solutions? Yes!

She's using a permanent marker that smells of fermented skunk, what is she thinking?  Obviously that ink has penetrated her already thick skull and poisoned her brain.

Everyone's talking about what she's done to her daughter by pulling off this Hannah Hoax. What has she taught her daughter by lying to win a contest. True, the contest organizers never specified that the stories be true, however, when dealing with children, aren't parents supposed to be teaching that whole "Honesty is the best policy" thing? Maybe my methods differ. Who knows. Yes, yes, these tickets are oh so hard to get and all she wanted to do was get this one thing for her daughter and there's so much pressure. Boo fucking hoo. If you're going to enter the contest, do it honestly. Let your kid write a truthful essay (in their own handwriting and voice) and see if they win of their own accord. If not, good, it's a lesson in disappointment.

The hypocrisy of this woman is blatant. She says she didn't know the essay had to be true and she wasn't trying to mislead anyone, but then she says that when the tickets were taken from her daughter she just refused them. She's a liar. She can't get tickets for her daughter but she can hire a lawyer who won't even give her decent counsel! What is she paying him for? She goes on national television (and the internet) with the fucking Sharpie make up! And her daughter is going to grow up thinking that Sharpies belong in her Kaboodles box! This little girl is going to join the ranks of Taco Bell employees with Sharpie make up, pasty white foundation to rival the most emo of goth kids and hoop earrings bigger than her own head!

It must be stopped.
Boycott Sharpies now. That's my campaign for real beauty right there.
