appearances

The girls behind me in line at Target:

(pointing to a magazine with Cameron Diaz) "You know why she looks weird? Her nose and top lip are too close together!"
"ohmygod you're totally right"
"Yeah I've always noticed it and it's always bothered me"
(pointing to some other magazine) "I heard she has really bad skin in real life and needs like a ton of makeup"
"ohmygod I heard that too, that sucks, she's not that pretty anyway"
(pointing to Katie Holmes) "She's pretty though"
"But she's not that skinny but her arms are too skinny"
"Yeah"
(pointing to someone else) "OHMYGOD did you see that one picture of her in her bathing suit? HAHA!"

Their conversation continued like this for the entirety of my time spent checking out. I should have turned around and said "Excuse me, but do you look perfect? Are you the decider of how everyone else should look? No, no, I didn't think so."
I am completely disgusted and sick of this shite.

that is stupid. i hate that shite too. but its the modeling world, get used to nit-picky bitches.
YOU are beautiful. you're not too skinny or not skinny enough. your lips and nose are perfect and you DO look amazing in a bathing suit. so you don't have anything to worry about. you are beautiful and i love you. i will miss you :(
