(Click on the quotes to go to the website Beauty Redefined and read what more stars have to say about these issues...)
“Is beauty the stuff that makes everyone look the same?
Or is beauty the stuff that makes everyone different?”
“Your nose should be smaller.”
“Your hair should be straighter.”
“Your teeth should be whiter.”
“Your lips should be fuller.”
“Your skin should be smoother.”
“Your feet are too large!”
“Your thighs should be thinner!”
“Your legs should be longer!”
“Your waist should be smaller!”
“Your bust should be bigger!” . . .
Or, “You shouldn’t be green . . .”
“But I know people
start to compare.
And I know beauty
gets misdefined as
‘Something-We’re-Not’ . . .”
“We all are unique.
We’re one-of-a-kind.
So when we look different
from everyone else --
Why should anyone mind?”
“We’re born with our skin.
We’re born with our hair.
We’re born with our eyes
and our feet
and our nose
And the rest of what’s there.”
“Or do you accept it?
And maybe embrace it?
Do you celebrate
how you’re unique
or try to erase it?
Do you hide
from the person you are
or stand up and face it?
And say, ‘I’m unique.
I’m one-of-a-kind.
I am what I am.’”
“They’ll say you look pretty.
(And maybe you do?!)
‘Cause right now
you look just like
everyone else . . .
But you don’t look like you.”
But what’s wrong with you?
