The horror of it all, irrevocably destroying your face so people will like you.
According to the career trajectories of Christina, Mariah and Madonna, it usually goes like this-
prove yourself in the music industry with talent and charisma then alter body at will.
It might not happen for you Heidi! Then you will just look different and weird in that inexplicable nonhuman Barbie way.
Here she is before-before and midway:
Quote "My main message is that beauty really is within."
I'm not against a little tweak this and pull that but c'mon! Notice Ashlee Simpson's career has been in the toilet ever since her nosejob/chin reduction?
Triple F tits do not a star make.
Truly disturbing.....

Why do some people find shaving so laborious and tedious?
It is not that hard to do! Two swoops under the armpits each morning, two seconds.
There is no excuse! You don't have time? Get up five minutes early, lazy, and take care of yourself!
What kind of statement is this:
Hi, I'm wearing an expensive gown, uncomfortable shoes, expensive jewelry, I got my nails did, my hair did, and hired a makeup artist but GOD forbid I give in to the cliche trappings of femininity and shave my legs!Next!
I saw the Tyson doc a few days ago:
I was surprised at how captivating and intersting this guy is. He is brutally honest and at times quite brittle.
His narration is demented poetry, every word pure gold.
Tyson is the new Lagerfeld!

Gah! I was hoping to finish my life without ever seeing another female leg hair. I would say she looks like a tranny but a tranny would likely have the good sense to shave her legs (would probably have a smaller shoe size too).
Thats not "I didn't shave my legs this morning" hair. Thats "I have never shaved my legs ever" hair.
Interesting argument, I can tell you've been putting the tele to good use in your new house.
Although it has probably always been this way to a degree I think now more than ever there is not a single woman in popular culture that isn't selling their body first and foremost and then whatever talent they posses is secondary. I find it hypocritical when someone like Britney Spears bases her entire career around her body but then cries foul when tabloids say she got fat or whatever. If you weren't just a slab of meat to be objectified, why market yourself as that in the first place? I dunno, I can't even keep track of who's who anymore and that's probably for the best.
I read this horrific article on women's birth control in our water supply. It doesn't break down and now it's in almost everything. A recent American study concluded women on birth control overwhelmingly preferred effeminate men over real men. I think this is true because when I was in elementary school this one hallway had pictures of all the previous years students and alumni and by the time you got back to like 1972 there was grade 7 boys that looked like full on men with big moustaches. So I actually think due to hormonal and environmental changes men aren't becoming men anymore, just big boys. Looking in the mirror confirms this, I'm 31 years old and kinda just look like a big baby. I have never gone through the physical process of becoming a man.
This new metrosexual thing is terrifying to whatever masculinity I do have though. You've got an androgynous long haired, hairless boy in Women's pants talking with a lisp and some limp wrist motion but you're not gay?? It's getting harder to tell who's who. That's why I'm always watching Western's. What it really means to be a man has to be preserved.
Don't even get me started on the whole beard scene. Take all the aforementioned traits but throw a beard or a moustache on top, a lite sprinkling of tattoos and pass yourself off as a man. This whole incestuous date your friends girlfriends, steal your friends girlfriends, share, share, share thing is also disgusting to me.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe we should be breaking down the gender dynamics on our path towards a single sexed species but at the same time my mind revolts against that thought. I want to puke every time I see a photo of hirsute men getting drunk and pressing their bare chests or dinks together in a display of camaraderie.
I'm going off topic, that picture of Queen Latifah is horrifying. You have a knack for posting pictures that can hang with you for days. I would rather have Queen Latifah bounce off a trampoline and do a flying bum drop onto my head than look at that again.

Shay- Whaaa!
Okay, that's Mo'nique, star of the movie "Precious." Haven't seen it because I know it won't be as good as Oprah tells me.
I fully believe in that birth control hormone theory. I think that is why I still have zits at
32.
I feel like the older I get, the more I dig manly men. I used to like pretty boys in my youth.
Maybe it is cyclical...
I'm thinking about the effeminate men's fashion of 18th century Europe for example. Tights, wigs, ribbons, heels and velvet were de rigueur for the aristocratic set.
Or dandys or the more recent 90's Britpop style.
The burly lumberjack look will surely fall to the wayside and you will once again be "in."
My favorite part of the Tyson doc is when he describes taking a lady into the bathroom at a party and "performing fellatio on her."
But seriously, you're right, that doc is super engaging and great.
Lily- Toads! Or when he goes crazy on that dude screaming "I will fuck you to you love me!"
That was psychotic.
Gross, gross, gross and more gross. First the breasts. They just LOOK so fake. You can see where the edge of the cup things are under her skin. The legs!!! They look like man legs. Erk. The new Lagerfeld?? Why would you even give a man who bashes women air time let alone a documentary?
P.S. Have you ever noticed how Karl does this weird breathing/lip thing as he comes down the runway at the end of a show?
Spectator- I had preconceived notions about Tyson as well. Humans are complicated - I wouldn't boycott an interesting movie based on something that may be hearsay.
What I wouldn't give to see Karl in his pajamas...
I think we shall have to agree to disagree about Mr Tyson. :o)
