Women's beauty isn't about size or makeup

There are no comments for this page [ Add Comment ]
Tuesday, January 29, 2008

I am so sick of women dying to be thin. Women are starving themselves, all to be a certain size.

I think Utah has some of the worst cases of this conformity. Women don't have to be blond with boxed (ratted-to-high-heaven) hair and have skeleton-like figures to be pretty and liked.

Beauty isn't about a size; beauty isn't about how much makeup we can cake on our faces.

I think it's time for a change, a time for "realistic beauty": Being who we are, who we want to be -- no matter what color, no matter what size, we are beautiful.

We need to stop judging others and say, "I won't sit back while you tell me who and what I should be." No more abusing and mutilating our bodies. No more unrealistic figures. We, ourselves, get to decide who we are.

Let's not ever let the media, or anyone else, tell us who and what we should be!
