Sir showed us this Dove Evolution thingy on YouTube. It's about why our perception of beauty is distorted. Then I read Mo's blog, and there was this one particular post that basically says that all women are beautiful and all women shld think of themselves as so.

So all these are like because of all the advertisements that shows off tall, skinny, stunning and super sexy models with long, flowing luscious hair and flat, firm tummies, perky asses, smooth complexion, long and toned legs, sharp and defined cheekbones, full lips... (i can go on you know) that makes us ladies (haha) all think that ok, THAT'S beauty, that's what all of us shld always strive to become. Therefore, there's all these women going on crash diets, going to slimming centres, trying to enlarge their boobs - like me. haha. just that i don't try. i just hope that they'll grow to become like oranges instead of staying as grapes. hey i'm not greedy! i only asked for oranges, i didn't ask for watermelons. but you know, grapes can't grow into oranges, let alone watermelons. haha. Okay anyway back to the point, the point being that because of this, like, subconscious (?) standard, women try too hard to achieve the perfection that is probably not all that perfect in reality. Right?

Then I was thinking, what about men? How come nobody says these affects men too? I think it does you know. Not just as in they look for this kind of ideals in women, but they also will suffer from this kind of inferiority complex right? Cos erm, there are male models? Haha. Like those men's underwear ads, those male models have like fuji apples in between their legs or something. It's like saying that if you buy my underwear, you're going to look like you have fuji apples between your legs too! You see, playing on all this suggestive, sexual stuff again. Eh, I wonder if they DI that part. Haha. Hahaha. Anyway, maybe men will look at themselves and go, oh no, mine are peanuts compared to this. That's why you have people writing in to the Ask Auntie Annie or something like that section in magazines asking for advices on how to enlarge the er.. oh whatever what the heck. You know what I mean. I just can't bring myself to say that word. And magazines like Men's Health, the guys on their cover page forever have packs, chest, broad shoulders. They're all just muscular and tanned. And oily. Yea anyway, it's like why must health be related to muscles and packs right. You won't be very unhealthy as long as your BMI is normal and you have a healthy diet right?

Anyway, Shunhong drove me around today! It was like, so cool la! Haha its like so cute and so all grown up at the same time to see him drive. So fascinating, like suddenly he can drive! (: felt like a queen, cos it's a rather big car. haha.
