Makeup is such a complicated topic. Looks, beauty in general, really. Especially for girls. On one hand, we want to be confident in our own skin and have self-esteem. On the other hand, we're ugly.
No I mean of course we're not ugly I just mean we're not that pretty oh my gods. Like maybe five of us are that pretty.
I look really good when I have time to do a cute outfit, or when I have time to do my hair, or when I've done my make-up. There are mornings I wake up and I'm like a six or a seven. Objectively speaking, if I were to try really hard, I could get to eight and a half, and I'm proud of it considering my weight.
I don't know the details of this particular event, but it struck a chord with me. It was a few years ago, and Demi Lovato did some photo shoot. I like Demi a lot – her voice is amazing and she's gorgeous.
She was wearing a really provocative dress out in the cold, and all of the men in the shoot were bundled up. Feminists were outraged – look at the patriarchy, forcing women to go out into the cold like that!
Except she chose the dress herself. She thought she looked sexy in it, and decided to wear it despite the cold. She was really indignant about the whole thing and shamed feminists.
Feminism shouldn't be only if you're ugly.
I say again.
Feminism shouldn't be only if you're ugly.
Pretty girls should also flaunt their bodies. Hot girls should also wear whatever they want.
It struck me because girls are all trying to be prettier (unless they're feminists) and then feminists won't let them reach that pinnacle. I hate it.
I hate the way women treat each other. Not just gossip – that sort of thing is actually normal and fine by me. I get being jealous of hotter girls. I'm jealous of hotter girls sometimes, or I used to be.
But it's not okay to talk about body positivity and leave out the girls who are actually beautiful.
I know, we're all beautiful, blah blah. But don't forget about the girls who actually are, naturally, “I wake up like this” beautiful.
They never get asked to the dance (:
