I... painted my nails again. Normally I'm not really one for nail polish; I only do it on occasion, but I liked having done the Yellow Gold nails, so yesterday I bought a black nail art pen and also picked myself up a bottle of gorgeous Yasu!blue nail polish and did my nails while watching TV and talking to reiicharu last night. Right hand, left hand, and yes, that does say "HEY GIRL, not you!". /lame
I bought a nice lipstick on discount yesterday too, Rimmel's Moisture Renew in 620, Spotlight Beige. It's a really gorgeous color, kind of close to my natural lip but with a little more pop (maybe beige, maybe a little orange) to it. It's very matte and rich, and I'm hoping I'll get some moisture out of it because I have very dry, perpetually chapped lips that Chapstick can only do so much for. Ah, the hazards of having oversized lips. :\
Also, Crystal Renn is my hero. For those of you who don't know her, she's one of the world's most successful supermodels. And yes, she's considered "plus sized" (though honestly, she's very average-sized). She lost a third of her body weight in order to become a model when she was younger and then struggled with her weight for 3 years before finally saying enough was enough and gaining 70 pounds, and afterward, she walked a Jean-Paul Gautlier show in a yellow gown covered in flowers that he made especially for her.
She is beautiful, she is healthy, and I read her book, Hungry over the summer and was inspired first by her beauty and then by her story. As someone who has struggled with body image for a long, long time now, she always reminds me that you can be normal sized and beautiful. You can be larger than life and still beautiful.
Anyone can be beautiful, no matter what.
