i've been doing a little thinking.
this site is kind of an oasis in the desert as far as the repetition of seeing girls that all look...well...the same.
but i'm looking around me in my every day life.
and the thought occoured to me.
"America is the fattest nation in the world pretty much....yet our standard of beauty would have us all walking around looking like 10 year old boys or worse yet starving people is starving 3rd world countries"
i've seen with my own eyes a shft away from this trend, and fleshier looking butts on billboards....i thought i was imagining it, but the comedian Adam Corolla pointed it out on his show (that i found myself absent mindedly flipped to while searching the void that is digital cable)
he was talking about the new trend of curvier models on billboards and in magazines ...ya know what his ignorant ass said "Get the fat girls in more clothes and get them off the billboards and my TV, no one wants to look at that" etc etc etc. His little rant went on for 5 min.
then the most appauling thing happened.
people applauded him.
maybe this is just a case of PSM going horribly wrong.
or maybe i am Uber sensitive still because i am a bigger girl (dont look so shocked. i can admit it and whats more i even like my tummy these days. well. a little more than i used to)
i just fail to see the humor in it.
its not the images of the thinner women, or the being around the thinner women (trust me. some of my best friends are beautiful, and proportioned very thinly. its just how they are.) its shit like this....the self righteous adam carolla saying that "fat women should be banned from mainstream modelling" (the example he gave for fat was 185 pounds...no proportions, anything. just flatline, 185 pounds).
i happen to know a secret.
its something i've discovered.
there are men out there (i live with one. he's awesome)
that think those women are beautiful.
everyone has different tastes and thats the beauty of living in a place where you...well. where you can have different tastes.
i'm not by any means trying to berate the beautiful women who arent bigger. or curvier. or more blonde or (insert in here anything you wish if it pleases you)
but think about it. if he had made a blanket comment like that about someones Race, or cultural background....
there would be people up in arms and alot less people applauding.
it just disturbed me greatly
and i needed to kinda rant about it.
meh.
i'm off to serve food to people in my little cafe that i love so dearly.

Also, Adam Corola is as retarded as your average Amrican, which is to say extremely retarded. Those people will clap at anything that he says, because it makes them happy just to slap their hands together. Morons.
