What Beauty Is and What Beauty Isn't

[anlei]

Have any of you heard of Magaret Cho?

I suppose recently she was on a radio show and this is what the host asked her:

"What if you woke up tomorrow and you were beautiful? What if you woke up and you were blond, had blue eyes, were 5-foot-11, weighed 100 pounds, and you were beautiful? What would you do

I especially resent that "ideal" of beauty. Especially when everybody talks about how much they love blue eyes. I actually don't find them that pretty. I mean sometimes, if a person has really beautiful eyes, I'm like wow, but usually I find blue eyes to be kinda....common.
But you know, I get so upset, because it's like my eyes are pretty, too, damn it!!
It's even more frustrating because the "ideal" includes STRAIGHT blond hair.
I like my hair curly and brown thank you very much.
And don't get me started on the weight issue. I'm 5'10" and 135-140lbs and I'd be considered fat! It's ridiculous!!

I totally agree with you, I think you are a very beautiful person too, despite whatever nonsense people like to say is "true beauty."
