And I don't think anyone is ever really happy with their self. Sad, isn't it. I was 100lbs in hs and I hated the way I looked. What a great video!

It always amazed me at how self-loathing some of the girls were that I thought were gorgeous! I would wager that many of the movie stars/models don't think as highly of their looks as they probably should. Heck, a lot of them have eating disorders, so that's saying something. And my character is cute, but has a hairy upper lip. Maybe that will make that AW poster happy? lol I’m bored, we can talk philosophy. lol

I mentioned that someone on AW complained that all characters in books are pretty and it's not realistic. Then we tried for half an hour to think of someone we knew IRL that we thought was really, truly ugly-- and couldn't do it. I won't wax philosophic about what that means, but I thought it was interesting. It’s funny– I was just talking about the flip side of this coin with my husband.
