How Shallow Are We?

Today I've posted two incredible links on Facebook.  And I updated my profile picture - with a picture I'd previously used as my profile.  18 Likes so far on this picture.  Zero likes on these links.

We are a sad bunch.  Society in general. 

Yes All Women Article
(Scenes from an Abusive Relationship)

and

Enlightening Video about Society by a Brilliant Young Lady
(Video on YouTube by Laci Green about our Culture.  Should I say a "rape culture"

Please take a moment to read the first article and view the second video.  This is what we should be talking about.  These are the things that really matter.  I hope that this evening there will be a few Like/Share on my posts when people may have a little more time on their hands.

Peace and Love to all!

Don't Be Cruel

I love fashion and I look forward to red carpets as I would guess sports fans look forward to the Superbowl/world series/NBA finals.  And the fashion world is very cruel.  I guess not any crueler than fans/sports announcers tearing the goalie to pieces cause he let one ball in or the basketball player who misses a shot.

I just read this article by comedian Sarah Millican regarding the attack she received on Twitter about her red carpet look at the BAFTAS.  And good for her. 

I think fashion should be a tool to enhance, to build confidence.  Something that we do for ourselves to feel like a princess or as if we can take on the world (whatever you are going for at the moment).  It certainly shouldn't be something that you are judged on.

Not everyone can wear the same look and I think we should dress to our body type.  What looks beautiful on one person will not look the same on someone else.  And regardless of your body type there are clothes that enhance your natural beauty.

I looked up the picture (below) and had every intention to post it regardless of what I thought about the dress.  However I have to say that I think she looks beautiful.  It's a great dress and I don't know what the big fuss was all about.  But regardless of the dress and fit why does anyone think they have the right to insult someone on Twitter for the way they look.  WTF?

I guess this struck a nerve for me because of all the rude remarks I see/hear all the time.  From comments below a news story that attack the families of someone who may have fallen on hard times or been in some sort of accident to the criticism of celebrities and how they look and everything they do.  Who the hell do you think you are to say such terrible things about anyone?  Who the hell are you and what have you done to make this a better world?

I hope that I never change my mind but my posts will be about what I love.  If I don't like it I will look away and move on.

How do you get someone out of your mind?

It was some sort of a relationship for a few years but really nothing much at all.  However I find myself thinking of him way too often.  At first I tried to force myself to stop and that just made it worse.  Then I decided to not try anything.  And that doesn't seem to work either.  And for the last few days immediately when I wake up he is on my mind or something that reminds me of him comes to mind immediately.  I'm talking about the minute that I wake up without having time to think of anything.  How does that stop?  And why the hell does it happen?

It just seems that for a very insignificant relationship I seem to be having a harder time to get him out of my mind than with any of my real past relationships.

Fave Carrie Bradshaw Quotes

Will there ever be another Carrie Bradshaw?  I miss her and think of her very often :(

 

Below are some of my favorite CB quotes:

'The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humour.'

'I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.'

'He's not my boyfriend. He's just somebody I'm trying on.'

'I will not be the first one to speak. And if he never calls me again, I'll always think of him fondly, as an asshole.'

'It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?'

My top two favorites:

'Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.'

'They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style.'
