OH GOOD

now. before I start on my thesis I will say that I made a survey a while back that asked would you rather be hot/gorgeous with the power OR live in a world where it didnt matter. most chose to be hot. me too. :/

Okay, so when doing fashion, I got to do VH1 Fashion awards, marie claire, vogue, alternative press, Teen. WHOA! cool right?! One thing that was WAY WAY hard on my psyche was the hyper intense focus on beauty and perfection. It did a number on me. I would have to put lotion on the girls, those skinny limbs, most had smooth skin, poreless complexions, great symmetry. the photographers would flirt with them they got SO much praise and adulation. It was amazing.
It made me even more aware of what was wrong with short ugly me. It began a really shitty cycle. so...

same for actors.

So what would that be like? That, for me would be powerful. My headspace would be 75 percent cleared up. for other things. It used to be 95. small steps. I would be extremely confident with dating, with just being. THAT, would be amazing.

I know, right?!! It would make it easier to know what other things there are happening both inside of & outside of yourself. I wouldn't be caring about looking presentable in front of junior rednecks. lol. It's so insidious...
