Good morning, Thursday..I got my vinyasa on this am so feeling ready, even more so after I finish this coffee and post.
There was an article on CNN when I woke up about what is beautiful, in response to an exhibit in LA called The Beauty Culture, with photos of beautiful people, etc. The article is called "What is Beauty and Who Has It"? and regales us with tales from ex models (Veronica Webb) and the agents who get rich off of them, Bethann Hardison. The piece talks about (surprise) diversity is in, and that women of all colors are, wow, beautiful. NO SHIT CNN. Is that really news????
Here's my point, if you need CNN to tell you what or who is beautiful, you've got problems. My advice- skip the article about Carmen Dell'Orifice who at 80 is a "working model" , an albino chick, and whether or not a symmetrical face is still the ideal, and just look in the mirror. Because you are beautiful, and that's that. Who's beautiful? You are. yes you. I don't mind talking about who is beautiful, but can we stop trying to define it? It's boundless, really.
PS- I find it interesting that men are not measured by beauty- it's a rare moment that a man is called beautiful...curious, that. And that's what's up this let's just be beautiful and shut up about it already kind of Thursday in the MIA. I'm all for talking about potions, lotions, and powders but the obsession with defining beauty is beginning to wear on one of my few remaining nerves. Next. XO
