What’s happening world? Thanks for seeing what item I’m pulling out of my makeup bag today…So without further delay let’s get to it. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I wonder whose eyes are the reason behind so many women and even men out there feeling as if they aren’t pretty enough because images of them are never shown in a positive light. For example every store we go to reminds us before we leave out how to get perfect Janet Jackson and Eva Longoria abs in 6 easy steps and how to lose 2 whole inches in 3 weeks! They also remind us of the worlds most beautiful people and why we aren’t on the list…1. We don’t have a glam squad to do our hair, makeup and dress us 2. No one can airbrush away our flaws so we look red carpet ready at Mc Donald’s or Target but we do have imperfection hiders like makeup, wigs, weaves, padded bras and booty pops to make some of us feel some what confident enough to live our everyday lives. Now there is a person very close to me has opted to have cosmetic surgery to make herself feel better about her body. Gorgeous woman, smart, good job, no kids but always been self conscious about not having bigger breast so she researched and invested in a realistic bigger size. A year later she decides to just go all out for her last procedure and to top off her bigger breast she wants a fuller booty and the imaginary fat sucked out of her belly. Now she’s always had a nice shape she had hips and a nice size ass for her size. Now I will never knock her because had my life been different and I had money to jag that might have been the one thing I’d do…have fat sucked out of my body and put in my booty. So she did the one thing that always bothered her and it wasn’t good enough she wanted to do more despite not being able to comfortably afford her procedures. My point is will surgically fixing what’s not perfect on you unquestionably make you feel emotionally or mentally better even though you bought it? And for those of us who can’t afford to surgically enhance our bodies to look like Nicki Minaj and opt for the cheaper enhancements isn’t that deceptive to someone you may be dating? It makes me think of this Red Foxx joke where he says “I went home with a woman once, when we got there she threw her ass on the couch she threw her hair on the couch she threw her titties on the couch and hopped in the bed… I hopped on the couch!“ Once you fix one thing do you keep perfecting the little flaws that made you who you are? Is it all that important to look like a Barbie doll knowing that dolls are fake and plastic. We live most of our lives perfectly fine with what we were given until we hit the teens and recognize different body types. I’m still clueless as to why it’s so important for everyone to look like cookie cutter versions of each other? I’ve heard on plenty occasions from walking around and being out “damn shorty you would be a 10 if your ass was bigger” and I admit that is the one thing I do wish I had. Not because of Kim K, or Buffy the Booty or Body or even a Nicki Minaj because if I wanted it that bad I’d do as they did and buy it. I’d want it for the sake of wearing a dress and filling it out the way I’d like to, but instead God blessed me with one helluva rack so I flaunt what I have and still feel and look like a million dollars fuck your dime piece. The world is becoming so appearance obsessed we have the over weight killing themselves to be thin, the thin ones going overboard to be voluptuous and the voluptuous ones feeling either too thin or too thick. I do encourage people to do what makes them happy and healthy, but as a warning be prepared to more than likely just look the way you want to. Most plastic surgeons will even tell you if your doing this for vanity purposes you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. Confidence comes from within so if your lacking that no enhancements (permanent or removable)will change that, they haven’t invented a self esteem surgery yet. So not only should we all be happy the way we were made, we need to encourage the younger ones to be happy and confident within themselves. Love their image just the way they are and not to feed into the misguided media that thrives off of making us feel we need work. Just for experimental sake pick up one of those magazines that say look like this in weeks or get washboard abs tomorrow and flip through the pages and look at how many makeup, hair color, padded bras and booty ads they have verses a Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers or even exercise classes they promote. They will have a few try at home moves but it’s only after they’ve given you tricks to lips like Angelina Jolie or get Taylor Swifts smokey eyes. Pay attention to the subliminal messages being fed to us before you end up falling victim to media manipulation. That’s it for today until the next time I reach into my makeup bag…Live  Laugh Love.

    You really touched a sensitive area. I absolutely love it. This entry is the idea behind this blog's movement, self reflection.Very visual in your approach. You never cease to amaze me. OAN, It seems like fake is the new real. Everyone want to be what society thinks they should be. I blame the fuck out of the media. Always portraying the "pretty" and well proportioned to be the covergirl of the Americas. Don't get me wrong, I want a pretty, well proportioned women, but only because I deserve it. If you have ass shots all you will be good for is ass shots. keep up the GREAT work....Im so proud of you (in my drake vc)

  2. Anonymous Said,

    Great topic. I have to admit as confident as I am about my body, I too have priced a tummy tuck or two after having two kids back to back. Is makes me wanna run these celebrity women over with my car with their"snap back" bodies as my friends and I like to call them. But to them, its their JOB. If they don't look the way the industry sees fit they don't get that modeling job or that magazine cover. I for one am grateful I only have myself to please. Every woman has beautiful assets. Its all about how you carry yourself and accentuate them.
