I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arieIndia. Arie, Video
Dear world,
I have three daughters and they are exquisite beautiful. They are getting to that age now where you are going to start tossing all your junk on how they should "look". That scares and saddens me to no abound. It sadden me because world your so stupid about what is beautiful. You have allowed yourself to buy into an airbrushed silicone not humanly possible image golden cow as your standard of beauty. It angers me because while you can have a different opinion you don’t have to be so damn loud!
As a guy I can grow as big as I want and it’s ok. If I join the mob it’s almost expected really. The more weight the more level of importance. Chris Farley, Jack Black, Kevin James, or Seth Rogen all heavyweights in the comedic world as well as just plain heavyweights. We love them for it to. World that’s a double standard and playing dirty pool. We judge men by their personality but women by their bodies, what’s the matter with us?
Its not who we have been. The term is Rubenesque not rail thin. We have never painted stick figures and said, "Yes! That’s what we want!" Paintings like Mona Lisa or Birth of Venus or any Michangelo sculpture that we call treasures never have ribs poking through their skin. Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield, and Betty Page all set the world a flame and captured and still invoke Eden in the hearts of men across the board. If they came up today they wouldn’t stand a chance. World what’s wrong? Where did we get off track? We watch Jams Cameron’s Titanic and instead of letting our hearts get carried away by the story you tell us why didn’t they get a skinny chick for the movie? WTH?
Rock and roll is with me on this one too. Fat Bottom Girls by Queen. Whole Lot of Rosie by AC/DC. Baby got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins. Just to name a few. That’s what the male heart craves, curves. Round curves not a bag of bones with sharp points!
We have got it so twisted we have 3 out 5 teenage girls have an admitted eating disorder in junior high. That’s admitted no doubt the unadmitted number is horrific sadly. We have made such surgical evolutionary jumps in the fields of nose jobs, tummy tucks, face lifts, and boob jobs we didn’t have time for cleft lip repair, cancer research, fresh water to deserts, or space exploration. It is sad to know there is a 15-year-old saving money for a boob job instead of a college fund. God’s children are starving across the oceans and we have little girls who wont finish dinner because they don’t want to get fat. Sadder to me still is the ones that eat to keep up appearances then suffer in silence and shame throwing it up behind closed doors.
I’m all for saying lets get healthy but that’s not what we are saying. Goals are good but why aren’t we telling them we love them right where they are and pace with them today. I remember I had a friend and her room walls were covered with cut out pictures from rags like, Marie Claire, Cosmo, and, 17. I asked her about it and she said it was to inspire her to be beautiful. I remember the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach looking at it still. I imagine it’s the same feeling investigators have when they roll up on pagan cult temples. They just find a alter covered in blood and filth "sacrificed" to something they are looking to save them.
World, when we stop fighting nature and just accept people like every other creation has God’s fingerprints on it and love the diversity instead of condemning everything outside your narrow field? Cardinals are awesome and yes they are beautiful with their deep red color. What about Blue Jays though? Humming birds fit in your hand and captivate us by flittering around so delicately but don’t eagles with their massive wing span stop our hearts any less? Elephant’ walking across an African plain is just as beautiful as a fragile butterfly gracefully landing on a flower.
World you are teaching all the wrong things to men as well. Your telling boys to just look at your marketing and the packaging and not the package inside. It’s stupid and dangerous and you set them up for failure. You are trying to sell them on the outside that is already fading. When you pull up next to someone do we rev the engine or yell out look at my paintjob? It’s the motor inside that keeps you on the road long term not how big your bumper is right? Why aren’t you telling boys in your beer ads to go for a strong woman instead of a bimbo in a bikini? A woman with a college degree can take care of you more at 75 than say a DD cup wearing 7-11 worker. Hair color is our determining factor? What about teaching them to look at honesty, self-awareness, and a love of God?
Proverbs 31 descibes a hella woman and doesn’t mention losing 5 extra pounds anywhere in it!
"Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God." 1 Peter 3:3-4
