What is it with celebrities and models? #beauty #reality


 What is it with celebrities and models? 

 I was at work taking my lunch and someone left a copy of People magazine on the table. The copy had a photo of Prince William and his new baby Charlotte, so I thought awe how cute, let me look.

 Who are these people? I only saw one face I recognized and that was Ian Somerhalder and his new wife. I did not know he got married I follow ISF on twitter; I must live in a cave. Good for him by the way he seems like an amazing person if what I read is true and am glad he found someone to share his life with. As I was scrolling through the magazine I saw captions that read something like celebrity dating Russian model, celebrity dating Brazilian model who doesn’t speak English, celebrity dating polish model. I could not recall names but WTF? Do we really live in a shallow world? I could also ask myself if I believe everything I read but the photo’s looked like they speak for themselves.  I remember years back reading an article about Leonardo DiCaprio saying he only dates models, well buddy they must be after the $ cause you ain’t no pin up yerself. (Say that with a southern accent)

  You never hear of a celebrity dating a rocket scientist or a model citizen saving the world, feeding the hungry taking care of the poor. I guess being smart and curing diseases isn’t sexy in today’s standards. There is a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Whoever said that must have been blind. If I said I didn’t drool over a hot looking guy I would be a liar. Most guys I know that are considered hot are assholes. 
 There was this guy when I was younger who all the ladies thought he was so hot, he came into my work and put an application in and tried to sweet talk me into putting a good word for him, I threw his application in the trash and he saw me do it. I’m shuddering thinking about it and not in a sexual way in a gross, fucked up bastard kind of way. Where is he now? Toothless, Unemployed, and whats with those jailhouse tattoos? He still thinks he is hot. Maybe I just contradicted myself , perception  and everything but damn.  Beautiful people are a product of the environment they live in. They get more attention, praise and over time get used to getting things they want because they are pretty. I’ve never met a pretty person that ever got a speeding ticket. We have become powerless over beautiful people, same goes for rich folks weather they are pretty or not. That arrogant self that comes from years of getting what they want because of who they are.

 I’m not saying that if you are rich or beautiful you’re ugly on the inside I am not trying to judge, it’s what I have experienced in my life that draws me to conclude. I saw a makeup video from a Victoria secret model and she was talking about fashion and I wanted to send her a fashion for dummies book, I mean really honey it’s called a ruche, even I know that and my clothes come from Goodwill. Her makeup tip didn’t work; did she invent this from her crayon box? and honey hire a maid the grout in your bathroom is disgusting. I would be ashamed to even post that, I guess she thought everyone would be looking at her. 

 I am not one of the beautiful people, if I was I wouldn’t be writing this. I would be writing about ugly people and how they should all be sent to an island so the pretty people can have the world to themselves. I even heard from someone that my older sister was my dad’s favorite because she was the prettiest. Thanks dad.

  We live in a society that reels on what we look like on the outside. It is shoved down our throats every time we turn on the TV or worse surf the net. I saw some photo’s of young mothers taking booty shots, one mother was taking a selfie in the bathroom while her child was in the bathtub behind her obviously falling under the water you could see his feet kicking. I couldn’t look anymore. Is that really what people think this world is about? I’m getting sick and angry.

 My boss always says perception is everything; it is not, only the shallow people see what’s on the surface. For example I read a twitter post of a young DJ at a resort looking at his phone and they put a caption on the photo as something like DJ hard at work checking his face book. I looked at it and thought maybe he was looking up some music or something for his job, maybe his boss was texting him, or maybe it was his wife or other half saying he had a sick child at home. The photo was put out there for the world to see the perception of one person. We think if someone has white chalky  teeth they are healthy, or if they are skinny and pretty they are perfect. I saw a photo of a model and the caption read she has an amazing body. Really? She is almost 6 feet tall and is all arms and legs, no boobs, no butt, no muscle tone and she is amazing? I’m sorry but if I reverse that I want a man with a little bit of meat on him, you know something to grab on to. Ahem. I will stop there. Do you think a celebrity would post photos of themselves on instgram without being doctored first? We the consumers think this is real beauty. Estee Lauder had a makeup campaign with a model showing flawless skin that looked plastic. I have used Estee for years and my skin doesn’t resemble that. I quit using their products. I’m not a scientist but I’m guessing good ol’ genes have a lot to do with that to start with.

 Beautiful and sexy doesn’t have to come in the obvious forms. I can go on and tell you my views on that (read my 50 shades post) I can rant and rave and will it make a difference? Probably not. Do I care if I have offended anyone? No, you can argue with me, agree with me or UN friend or follow me. My opinion to me is all that matters..
