In one way or another, I have crossed so many conversations of late about “acceptable appearance” – weight, dress, make-up etc. and to be honest – I find it all quite tiresome! Not because I am disinterested in any or all of those topics, but because I have realised that as a human race we are all fncking delusional!

We have the most enormously skewed perceptions and priorities in general! If anybody was honest enough to express and describe the “utter disaster” that we have become as “human kind”, I can assure you it would NOT be a pretty description - Definitely not “coffee table” material and even less fit for a dictionary.

No matter which way you turn these days, you are literally drowned in everything you were NOT meant to be submerged in. I have never been one to watch the news on TV, and that was momentary bliss (about 10 years ago) before social media took over. Now, trying to get away from the all-consuming negativity and brainwashing, requires having to click a million drop down menus a day, opting for the “I don’t want to see things like this anymore” selection. But even that does not make it go away entirely. We are all being bloody BRAINWASHED!

And one of the most common examples of such is the conditioning of what is acceptable in terms of physical appearance. I have been saying this for a while between family and friends – but now I am saying it here. For the last 30+ years it has been PUSHED by the media that the skinnier you are, the better. This has been nothing short of a catastrophic trend worldwide – ESPECIALLY for women! Like we didn’t already feel little enough about ourselves! Now we had every KIND of media telling and showing us that we are not slim enough, sexy enough, good enough – and so it went on.

Ai, but some dumb Mother F@#$% at the top of the fashion food chain, did not take into consideration the “dietary habits” of the 21st century and that all the ”instant this and instant that food stuffs” was going to start making people, well – FAT! “Oh goodness, what to do now?!” lol ;)

Interesting how practically EVERY and ALL fashion and beauty campaigns are suddenly starting to "embrace" ”THE REAL WOMAN” - and the pages are spilled with, yes – gorgeous voluptuous women… except for one problem… they are promoting this for all the WRONG reasons!!!!! They have realised that with the general eating habits of most people these days - there is simply NO way that they can continue to "campaign" such stick figures.

Women have been persecuting themselves for YEARS because of their weight – thanks to media! And now, suddenly the puppet master is telling us that it is once again “acceptable” to have curves and rolls! - Yes, I agree with the statement (because the former should never have occurred in the first place), but the problem is… that the “intent” behind the persuasion is NOT doing anybody ANY favours, because 90% of these (mostly young) women (and men) are living on fast food and freezer meals. Sales are up though!!! Yay!! Lol

I don’t follow much in politics, news or anything else really (if I can help it) because I believe it is all there with the intention of making us “sheeple”. Personally, I think I am better off for it. Many disagree with me – and that is ok too. There is an expression ”seeing the wood from the trees” and I suppose, to a large degree – because I have opted not to swamp myself with every SINGLE bit of media “bleep” that happens to be announced, I feel that I may perhaps have a little more clarity when it comes to perception.

I am HAPPY that the media has shifted its acceptable fashion size ZERO to be a more realistic one, fit to an “actual woman” and not a fncking Barbie! – BUT – I am not thrilled with what I feel, are the reasons behind that shift! No extreme is EVER a good thing, and that is applicable in this instance too. People need to catch a wake up – AND find a balance!
