Like may young females in todays society , I been hesitant to call myself beautiful...why? to tell you the truth growing up watchin TV, reading magazines and watching videos I began to realize their is a certain standard of what is beautiful. And that type of beauty never seem to fit how i looked. I'm Latina, Ecuadorian with some asian mixture, I do not have blond hair nor do I have a 4 pack(abs)...I am 5'2 and have dark brown eyes....BUt I am beautiful. Yes I am b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l .....Every one is beautiful. All types of color, hair, body shape, accent, height, style = beautiful. There is no certain look that is more beautiful than others ----although that ideology has been implemented in society its not truth...beauty is present in every girl, in every femal, in every woman...
One of the reasons I wanted to blog about this is because I had read an article on Racewire about "L’Oréal: White = Beauty"
After Beyonce was pretty much airbrushed whiter by L’Oréal not too long ago, it’s all the more infuriating to see that their tendency to equate lighter skin with beauty hasn’t changed. When they say Freida Pinto of Slumdog Millionaire “is the new face of L’Oréal,” what they seem to really mean is she has a new face of L’Oréal.
I twittered about this article and the response was that its so sad that beauty is defined in those terms. And soon after I was forward a link by Bless Roxwelll ...she send me a link to the following videos...deep videos i must say...
Remember...you are beautiful..
