Once again my blog has been invaded by the great wisdom shared in my Advertising Ethics class. Here is a great article about the key ways to obtain the status of a Timeless Beauty. Surprising huh? I know.
Its sad to hear that role models in the eyes of little girls are the Beyonces and Cameron Ds. We go GAGA for the Pitts and the Depps. What about the Paulas and the Janes, the Susans and the Debs, the regular women.; the mothers who raised us from birth and still work their butts off to send us to a 50-something thousand dollars a year University. Its sad to think that all is lost when five year olds want to wake up and " ...brush their teeth with a bottle of Jack...". Is our generation lost. I feel that if we as an American society continue to progress towards this status of Stardom all hope is definitely gone for us. The status of beauty and self-worth is definitely something that seems to be diminishing as the years pass. With pre-teen vajaja waxing and teenage plastic surgery on the rise, there's no wonder so many children have self esteem issues.
The only way to kick this negative thinking it to start addressing it. I love the Poem by Sam Levenson its something so small but very effective. With movements like Seventeen's Body Peace Treaty and poems like Levenson, I know a difference can be made.
