Surgery gone right

My dear friends, I am sorry that I was gone for quite a while. I was busy with RL stuff; I am (hopefully) back and will try to make up for lost time as best as I am able. Be safe, be well, be happy (and stay away from surgery chambers! :D)

A swimming dilemma

Today, just a small cap and a comment on Beauty:

Some people obsess over "flawless" beauties who have highly abnormal breast, waist, thigh, butt or belly proportions and technologically-"enhanced" (meaning: fake) faces or body types that really don't represent women at all. It's like appearances are all that matter---and just a narrow range of appearances. I think that's deeply unfortunate, since so many girls starve themselves (with anorexia or bulimia) trying to achieve a "perfect" shape, or feel bad when seeing a beauty model or women's magazine, or are afraid that they are "fat" or "ugly" and thus have low self-esteem. (Think of the talented and beautiful Karen Carpenter, who sadly starved herself to death because someone once called her "fat," even as she sang the beautiful song linked below.)

Personally, I like this model (Airi Suzuki) for her little crooked teeth, because she has a light, endearing smile and does not have to hide any "imperfection." Sure, there are models out there with flawless features, but Airi doesn't have to be flawless; she has fans who like her as she is, quirky teeth and all. No need for dental surgery whatsoever. ^^

Listening to the song "Yesterday Once More," I miss you, Karen Carpenter. A young woman tragically lost to negative self-image about her beauty. :"(
