“... is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a
classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a
Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs
of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of
Michelle Obama and doll tits. This is why everyone is struggling.”

Tina Fey is brilliant and this is all too true and sad. But a good reminder about how unrealistic the beauty, fashion and entertainment industries' portrayal of women is...thanks for making me think (and laugh).
ReplyDeletea california tan? doable, but not worth all of the sunburns that would have to take place prior to getting there... the arms of michelle obama? someday. it will happen. *someday*... a classic button nose? forget about it. ;)
