Description Do any of us really know what it is anymore?
Beauty. What is it?
Tan skin? Dark skin? Pale skin? Yellow skin?
Big eyes. Small eyes. Round eyes. Square eyes.
Wide? Skinny? Healthy? Sickly?

I used to care so much.
But after looking into the digital art world...
I realized such unrealistic things

You don't want bag on your eyes?
Here, I can easily take them off.

Different eye color?
Ok, blue suits you best

Tan skin? Acne removed? Wrinkles off?
No problem, just do this!

What people consider beautiful... is only a sad illusion
A perception of how you should look yet no one looks it...

I don't want to be beautiful. I want to be me.


I tweaked this picture alot just to prove my point

I try to hammer this into every girl I know and it never sticks.

It's like I'm the dude surrounded by girls I think look beautiful, but none of them realize it. Especially my wife.

Thanks for this, it's a much needed message.

Did she see this video that was across youtube? About how they change models on photoshop?

that is so true, the world's idea of beautiful is so distorted :/ a lot of the people i know are so superficial, and won't even LIKE a person, before they've met them, just because of how they look.

PaleScarlet In reply to Lauren-24 [2010-05-11 22:16:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is true

That's how the world is making others see each other

Well said. I realized the same thing once I started to understand photoshop. I mean, you know magazines and such are very photoshopped but you never really realize how dramatically until you start doing it for yourself.

i believe beauty is standing out, being yourself, and shining with confidence.
anything else is just an accessory ;]

Hmm can't decide which side I like best.
The right side seems more eye pleasing because the colors pop, but the left side looks more natural which I usually prefer. Dratted choices!

See what I mean?
you WANT to like the natural
but your mind likes the artificial

oldguy85 In reply to PaleScarlet [2009-12-02 13:16:15 +0000 UTC]

My mind likes the natural but my eyes like the artificial but only artistically.
I've never felt attraction to a girl with makeup.
