Overdone bleach blonde, horrible!
She’s young, she should not need so much shite on her face. In fact her face looks so covered in crap I’m amazed her head isn’t being weighed down, never mind the vacuous ‘sexy’ look. To be honest she sort of looks uncomfortable. The huge fake I’m presuming breasts are really only cheapening her appearance further.
It’s sad because she looks like a very pretty girl who’s been ruined by trying to attain a ‘sexy’ look.
So many people have reblogged this either saying how hot or beautiful she is or saying how tacky or slutty she looks.
Why do people always miss the point?
You hit the nail right on the head Georgia. This girl has drastically mutliated her natural form in order to attain what is portrayed to be sexy, beautiful and acceptable in todays pornified society.
Whether you find this girl beautiful isn’t the case. Beauty is subjective any way so I’m not about to tell you what isn’t beautiful. What I am concerned about is how much she’s changed herself just to feel and look “sexy”. Thanks to this sexist, patriarchal, facist beauty standard we are constantly pressured by, this is what we get.This isn’t normal. This is creepy.
Uh…I’m not sure why i find this wrong, gimme a couple of minutes.
Because it’s safe to assume everyone with huge boobs has fake boobs, amirite? and they’re just a tool of the patriarchy! It’s not like she’s OBVIOUSLY wearing a bustier which would push anyone’s boobs up into an “unnatural” position. They’ve got to be fake - let’s see how many snap judgments we can make here!
Anyways, I think policing bodies while coming from a feminist angle is only slightly less obnoxious (if any) than policing bodies from a patriarchal angle.
(this is not directed at you ihatethismess)
There it goes! Feminist body policing is still body policing which is still wrong.
& now that I’ve had a second to sort it out - the boob job thing touched a nerve, in case you couldn’t tell, because I can tell you right now if I was wearing a similar top I’d be up to my chin in tits but I’ve had no surgery, and I have had people (strangers) ask me if my boobs are fake - I wear a 34DDDD/G and they’re all natural, thanks for assuming…
it’s REALLY patronizing to talk about a (presumably) grown woman this way.
Not to mention the word usage - mutilation? What mutilation, aside from the boob job that you’re assuming she got? Tattoos and piercings, while not really super-transgressive on a young, white, thin woman, aren’t mutilation, and are hardly playing into beauty norms. To call bleached hair (by the way, I like the “over bleached” look - but then, I have blue hair, maybe I’m mutilating myself ohnoes) mutilation is laughable. And makeup, while it plays a certain role in sexism, is something that some people enjoy applying and treat as an art form; besides which, doesn’t look to me like she’s wearing anything more than the usual glamour portrait makeup.
Whether you think it’s “creepy” or “trashy” or “pornified” (nice slut shaming there, yo), it’s her fucking body to do what she wants with. Can we talk about the environment around her choices? Yes. But let’s not talk about this random woman you have never even met like she’s nothing more than a silly child who can’t make her own decisions about her body, because that is sexist.
I hate the word mutilation when it comes to personal style and identity. People who modify their bodies are hardly performing the kind of aggressive and upsetting and unconsenting mutilation I think of when I hear the word. One might modify one’s body as a way of creating the body they have in their minds, and for most people I hardly think violence figures in to it.
Maybe I’m just defensive. I’ve been accused of mutilising my body since I was a teenager, when what I thought I was doing was making it more beautiful and personalised. I did it with my own consent, and it was a peaceful process (by and large - I do have self harm scars but I still don’t consider them acts of mutilation. I was sick.)
