I am responding to Amy Rosvally's blog. I must say that this isn't the first time I have pondered about the questions she asked. Growing up I did believe in prince charming and I believed that my life would someday follow the theme of a movie. I would be in trouble and then this wonderful handsome stranger would help me and we would fall in love and be together forever. I believed that all of this would happen to me if I lost a few pounds first, OK if I lost ALOT of pounds first. I was a chubby kid who like all girls wanted to have a normal childhood and be a princess. However, seeing in the movies how thin every princess was, it made me feel that love would never come to me and it made me hate myself.
As I grew up I kinda graduated from Disney movies (I will always love the lion king), and started watching music videos and movies for teens and the superficiality of the world was also depicted in that. I wished I could be one of those sports models ,I envied the girls in the music videos and thought of myself as disgusting to look at. I just want to say that Amy you are not exaggerating the truth. You are right, the label that being "beautiful and pretty" holds is so superficial it's disgusting. Where are all the curvy princesses? Why are the ethics of this world so shot? Is there a possibility for change? Can we make a change from superficiality to just taking everyone as beautiful? I commend you Amy, I really do.
