I don't buy that beautiful people have hard lives like everyone else. Lying bitches! Two of my biggest regrets in life are that I wasn't born beautiful or with enough money to fix all that's wrong with me.

Dude. I'm poor as **** and I could pay for anything you need done. There's nothing to fix.

Wuteva, wuteva, you don't know me~

Seriously, though, who do I have to blow to win the 50 mil this week?

I'm sorry. You're right, I don't. I do think you're gorgeous, though

Hey all! I promise, this isn't a thread to discuss who I'm lusting after!! I'm sure you will all believe me!

Seriously though, I listened to "Prettiest Girl In The World" the other day and thought that we should have a thread like that here, since we hadn't really before.

I promise, I am not lusting after anyone right now. There really are too many emotional ups and downs going on with my family to really let myself go on that one. This Katie girl that I mentioned is just someone who I've seen around campus, and know a little about her- but have never actually talked to her.

I probably in theory could catch Holy Hell for this, but hey, I'm used to that.

The most beautiful person I know is Miss Tanya Nadine Turan, M.D. I f'g LOVE her.

(No really - I f'g love her.)




Second runner-up is, of course, Sela Ward.



And a REAL close third runner-up is, naturally, Sally Field.

I love Sela Ward- I wish she would come back on House. That was my favorite period of the show, those few episodes!

That's pretty much how I've always felt! I finally beat the weight, and I'm just saying fukc it, from this point out....

[Ghost_Tracker]

Oh - And of course I must mention (I'm sure somebody sees this coming up Fifth... ) - -

The most beautiful mind I've ever come across is, of course -

Samantha Power.

i.m.o. she's the best person ever.

This is the part of the movie where the pretty girl pays the ugly one a compliment and the ugly girl is elated, right? You've only seen one picture of me, and that doesn't even look like me anymore, so I don't know how honestly you can say that.

Women are held to entirely different standards, though (This is your friendly Captain Obvious, reminding you of... the obvious!) But **** it's a good attitude, if you can pull it off. :

You know, I almost mentioned something similar to the above - my best friend, that I hang with several nights a week, is VERY handsome. Gets hit on constantly. So even though I look okay, I'm still the ugly one, next to him, no matter what. And, to be honest, it gets frustrating....always being the 2nd choice. I do MUCH better, on the nights we don't hang out. I wouldn't trade his friendship for anything, but again, it's just frustrating, always being....their 2nd choice.

While I know it is different for women, for the first time in my life, I've beaten weight. I've always been 30-40 lbs overweight. And I've had new eating habits for a year now. And lost 45 lbs. I'm now 135(I'm 5'10"), and haven't deviated from that, for a month now. Shirts went from XL, to SMALL. No ****. I can even wear some extra smalls!!!

I can tell you that 45 lbs ago, I rarely got hit on. I get hit on a lot now....as long as my best friend isn't around!

But on the fukc it - I mean everything other than my weight. Although, when I hit 55 or so, and the face is starting to fall, run me through the plastic surgeon's office. Yank that **** back, Doc, and grab your stapler!!!

Deliciously harsh . But i'm biased. I find this thread disturbing (for me). There are 2 views, from the ones who are "beautiful", or think they are, and from the ones who believe deeply that they're included in the other category. Disturbing because i can, or think i can analyze people's behaviour, and still not know what to do with my self-esteem and image, or rather my lack of self-esteem. Actually i don't know.

And Stevie Nicks and Marilyn Monroe are the only names that come through my mind when i try to answer the initial question.

See, that's the thing: Although it often sounds like losing weight is the magic cure-all for women, I think that only applies to men. Women also have to be facially attractive, otherwise you're stuck in the unfortunate butterface or, alternately, butterbody category. I'll work on my body all I want, but the fact remains that I'll be right beside you waiting for that stapler! (Or at the bank, robbing it)

I had a big ol' bowl of vitriol this morning, excuse me.

I think it's okay to talk about it. Both sides included. It seems to be more taboo for attractive people to acknowledge their attractiveness, as Marissa said. If you just happen to be a pretty girl, then that's fine. But god help if you if you ever acknowledge it.

On the other side of the coin, I'm not in the genetically blessed category, so why not be honest about it? Self-awareness is important. This is less encouraged, because everyone wants to be delicate about it. But trust me, just as a gorgeous woman knows early on in life where she stands, so do the ones who aren't as pretty. I'm sure if I was in that category, I'd know about it by now, so let's be realistic. I'm ~cute~ because I'm so ~*tiny*~ and pixielike or whatever the **** spin people put on it, but cute doesn't always cut it.

ON TOPIC, la Nicks c. 1976 is actual perfection.

I think maybe you're right, about it doing more for men, than women. Because I haven't done anything else! I saw an old friend today, who was remarking on my weight loss, and said, "I'll bet you jog all the time now". I laughed! Hell no, I just starve, I don't exercise!

See, the weight loss DID a lot for me, facially. Because I was all JOWL-Y, when I was 45 lbs more. And that's all gone now.
One downside.... My waist is ridiculously small now, for a man. I was searching for jeans at Kohl's yesterday, and 29"'s are the smallest they carry, and those are too big for me now. I found two pairs of 27"'s, at Goodwill(they are kid's jeans, but they fit, at least). Those are the only jeans I have now, that fit. I guess I need to stop some tiny guy, and ask him where he buys jeans.
27 x 32's, are impossible to find!

And hell yes, again, on the facelift. When the time finally comes, "staple me back, Doc". Make me look like I'm on the world's fastest roller coaster!

I'm the Bandit.

They call you the Bandit, an outlaw untamed
Shackled only by freedom, You wear no man's chain
Some say they despise you, well maybe they do
But deep down inside them, I bet they wish they were you

Don't you want to build muscle?

It's sad that I could actually use a facelift right now, at my age. I mean, seriously. What is this ****? I'll call you when I look like a Jocelyn Wildenstein/Heidi Montag hybrid, we can go out on the town and scare the hell out of people.
