The Looking Glass

This blog is a reflection of myself, what I think, what I see, what I'm inspired by, what I enjoy.

It’s really awesome. Unless you are referring to your university home. Then disregard this statement. =] Nope, definitely talking about Pitaya! Haha I’ve some of their stuff through the windows and it looks really cute. It’s really great! It’s a lot cheaper than Urban. Not say, Forever 21 cheap, but it’s better quality and well-priced. I have my eye on the colored skinny jeans in the window display. I want them all. Haha. For sure going there this weekend then, haha!

Beauty and purity go hand in hand, and are tied up in a false sense of modesty. This type of attractiveness comes from being white, virginal, conventionally attractive and actively or deliberately ignorant of meeting that standard of attractiveness. It comes from needing to be seen as beautiful even “without any makeup on” but in “skin-tight jeans” if you’re Katy Perry, from Bruno Mars ‘knowing’ that “when I compliment her, she won’t believe me,” and in reminding a boy that he should be dating a girl who isn’t a shallow hussy, if you’re Taylor Swift.
All of this encourages girls to constantly strive to meet an arbitrary standard of attractiveness that fuels multiple industries (dieting and cosmetics, primarily) while reminding them that their job is to be appealing to men but never to admit that they’re trying to be good-looking for men, and never admit that they look good – especially if they’re not skinny or white. It creates a maelstrom of unhealthy attitudes about girls’ bodies and sexuality. Girls must be all things: attractive and unknowing, winking about sex and flaunting their sexuality but never expressing desire or – worse – actually having sex, and presenting their bodies as sexually available while deriding those girls whose sex lives are more active than their own. They must do all this while being straight, slender and white and preferably blonde or they’re not really even in the game to begin with.

Oh, and look! My last post can be translated to apply to sex and beauty, too. See: “their job is to be appealing to men but never to admit that they’re trying to be good-looking for men, and never admit that they look good – especially if they’re not skinny or white.”

I was going to link back to the article, but the page was missing. I agree that it seems like girls must be all things, even if they contradict. Society puts pressure on being everything instead of letting individuals be just that- individual, and different in their own ways.

I think in television and movies, there are some little examples of diversity without shoving it in people’s faces. For example, in the movie Bridesmaids, the married couple is interracial and the supporting actress isn’t white. (Although the majority of the rest of the cast is.) This wasn’t made into a big deal and I thought more imitated what we might see in everyday life, unlike other examples that shove anything that even slightly strays from the straight, slender, and white cast types in our faces, as if to prove that “Yes, diversity does exist!!” Yeah it exists, go take a walk around the block and you’ll probably see all sorts of diversity.
