    Just thinking that picture of Madonna at the Grammys is bloody awful. Gold teeth and the hairy chin. Get it sorted love. All the money you have get a ladyshave!!!  >:)






    I'm going to say something a bit radical now. I was concerned about her because she looked as if she was on something..that's it. She is the mother of it all though really. Love her or hate her, she was the ground breaker for women in pop music...even if she used her sexuality to do it. Did she make some questionable choices on the road to fame? Yes, but as we know...fame is an illusion, she was seeking love. Here comes the radical bit-

    Why can't we Love women for who they are? Why must they be perfect looking and shaved? Why has this myth been perpetuated? What puts men in a different position? Do we require them to be a perfect weight, shaved everywhere, and wear makeup? Do we make an industry off of enhancing their beauty? Do we degrade men for not living up to a beauty standard? Do we tell men their ball sacs are too saggy and they have to get a hair weave? Do we tell men to shave their bodies and lose weight, because if they don't...they wouldn't be attractive? The lies, the lies that the media sells to us. They are SELLING it, they want you to buy. No wonder so many women are depressed. If you look like "this"...we will love you. Are you buying into it?

    We are not each others enemies. I LOVE all women. Different races, ages, different shapes...the female must be revered. Women must respect women. I know I'm getting into a bit of feminist rant right now, and I'm not just addressing you HB. It's how we were conditioned. The media has sold you an idea of beauty. They want you to buy.

    I'm normally not really into rants, but that was a good one, and I agree wholeheartedly.

    Thankyou A.. :-* . Again, it's not about attacking you Hells..it's about conditioning. It's really fucked up. It's not realistic, it's some ridiculous fantasy. It's like the fuckers that be said, "Hey, let's make women feel awful about their appearance, so we can sell them our chemical by-products from oil refining." That's what alot of so-called beauty products are made of. Just really pisses me off.

    I'm totally with you there ponygurl, there are some really unrealistic expectations put on women, and I get the impression it's getting more so for men too than it has been before! We should stand together sisters! :)

    I think it is that you think someone with loads of money should look perfect. It is like me. There was a football manager. I noticed his teeth were not the best. So i said. Wouldnt you have thought he would get his teeth done. He must have the money?. If i had a spare 1250 quid i would get the tooth i had root canal on taken out and replaced with a implant. We all judge everybody and i dare say loads of people think i look a right muppet.
