Hey, what's up?
This is da'Shade ... sitting in for Kennedy James, who is on vacation.
I think its time to celebrate the basic bitch ... you know, the woman who doesn't wear a ton of makeup, doesn't have faked out body parts, doesn't carry a Gucci-knockoff handbag, doesn't wear stiletto heels, just doesn't fall into that hole of pretension to try to impress everyone around her.
Nope, gimme a woman who's secure in her own natural skin, who's natural in every way.
I think young girls are hoodwinked by the gossip columnists and the celeb TV shows into thinking that glamorous means looking like the faked-out prima donnas that strut their stuff in front of the paparazzi. Holy shit, nothing could be further from the truth. Glamour is just being you. Nothing more.
The same is somewhat true for men, but the pressure to be some kind of perfect is less for men. Women face the brunt of these unrealistic social expectations to look and act like some artificially cranked-up image of what they're "supposed" to look like. I dunno. Blame Barbie, maybe.
Ya know, people talk about bullying and enact all kinds of laws against bullying, but all this pressure to be someone you're not, man, that's gotta be the worst form of bullying ever. And yet, no one sees how damaging all that shit is.
Hit that mic and get back to basics ...
