I Just Don't Get It.


Forgive me this evening. Call me a "hater." Say that I've been brainwashed by Hollywood and their ridiculously high standards. But I have to be honest on here, in saying that I really don't see the great appeal of Ms. Joy Bryant or Ms. Kim Porter.
Sure, they're cute. Sure, they're slender and have legs for days.

Nice smiles. And, sure, they're skin is smooth and buttery. But...that just don't make beautiful to me! I've never seen what all the hype is. And I get really pissed, because...is it me? Have I missed the memo?

I know, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." But why am I beholding differently from everyone else??
Is it because they are average looking women, who we are happy to see get some limelight? Regular, around the way beauties, that would get a lot of play in their respective hoods, but have risen to the eyes of the nation, and make us feel better about our own, maybe average, decent looks?

So do we think these women (and others) are actually beautiful? Or is it really that they give us hope that we could match up to Hollywood beauty, too?



random, I know. Just been on my mind for some time...

No, these women just aren't beautiful at all lol. Joy is okay, but Kim Porter is very unattractive in my opinion. Oh well, I aint dating 'em lol.
