That’s why I don’t pay attention to those ‘Most Beautiful’ or ‘Sexiest’ or whatever lists/countdowns. Whether in print OR on TV. All they EVER do is repeat the belief that the only ‘pretty’ people are tall, thin, white, with light eyes and [mostly] light hair.

IF non-white people ARE so ‘graciously’ mentioned (because you know, non-white people are brainwashed into believing we should be glad white people even CONSIDER us somewhat remotely attractive physically) they still ALWAYS are the ones who meet the ‘white/Eurocentric’ standards of beauty.

It’s all BS.

Body hatred is how billions get transferred from the middle class to the corporations are real “fat cats.” You don’t think they would ever let go of such a goldmine in a recession year do you?

Um – how about that most of them have had (non-reconstructive, aesthetic) cosmetic surgery, and all are handled by Ye Olde Photoshoppe? Don’t get me wrong – I think there is a lot of beauty on this planet. I just prefer mine with the original parts and all of the crazy things living wreaks, not processed. I’ve always hated these lists because I think they encourage people to strive for things that are not found in nature, and what’s found in nature is pretty breathtaking, so. Even the fabulous words these subjects utter are redacted, emailed by publicists – what are we really wasting our time with here? It’s like fodder for anthropologists – how a culture idealizes and describes itself.

Wow, who ate a heap of cynical for breakfast today?

Hey not only blue eyes and blond are beautiful there are also other races who are much beautiful, what about asian people, maybe for you having blond a blue eyes are beautiful but for me I don’t care if they have it. For me they are all artificial someday all of the beauty they posess will fade away .

There was a whole section this year on redheads, also. Amy Adams and Isla Fisher were in there, among others. (I love them both.) Anyway, I agree (well, obviously, given the title of this post) that thinness is the real key factor here.

I haven’t seen this year’s list, but last year there were actually quite a few non-blonde people on the list, such as Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry. I don’t think there is such a bias on blondness as everyone thinks, although I do think there is one on thinness. Blondness is more unusual (in its natural form) and perhaps for this reason more coveted, but there are plenty of dark-haired beauties gracing the beautiful people lists.

Oh wow, YES. This is definitely a good post.

This is also the reason why I only read “National Geographic” if I ever have to pick up a magazine.
