this a response to an entry of sherilyn's.

well. what can I say, but scrutinizing, comparing and moaning abt oneself are all part of the job description of a teenage girl age 13-18.

I got that from my mom. apparently, its natural. And seeing that she hasnt hanged herself the past 18 years i can only say that she has been coping with her bootylicious body very well.

Though mind you, she puts the term " bootylicious" to new scales and heights.

Either she is really, really in self denial about her weight, or she's really confident about herself. Somehow, I suspect the latter. You would too, if u watch her at work screaming to her assistants twice her age to find the piece of paper she had in her hand 5 secs ago.

but I digress.

anyway, all this big hoo hah abt appearances are pretty much stimulated via all those skinny models with the waif-like air, perfect glossy hair and crystal clear, baby smooth skin.

However, your author here realized it was all a very big blown-up scandal when I went to have my hair cut to fabulous wondrousness by my miracle worker of a hair stylist,Z ,yesterday.

A little bit here about my miracle worker here. Z (name protected) , my hair stylist, has over 10 years of experience in the crowning glory industry and has sculpted the glossy crowns of Lee Ryan, Utt, Chen Bo-lin, Ling Yi-Chen as well as many of the top local stars like Kym Ng, Taufik, Sylvester, Fiona Xie and the 2 MTV fat brats May and Choy ( they were there yst with their phillipino model muse and god were those 2 a pain in the ass, screaming and demanding till a hairstylist actually broke down and sobbed when i was there.)

basically he has seen it all.

He told me that on the contrary, most models and actors/actresses have worse hair then most regular people and are generally much fatter then they seem on Mags and TV and vv importantly, they do not have perfect skin.

perfect example.

May and Choy the 2 fat brats who had looked gorgeous on that shampoo ad and on TV do not look like that naturally. I saw the both of them in the flesh yst and jeez were they FAT. Z had been tamming their bleached destroyed hair with a hot tong and was beside himself when I walked in so he could do my hair without trying to get his tong tangled in May's hair.

apparently, ( and this is really exclusive behind-the-scene news), the pair of them are losing their hair. and its not just the receding hair line kind. but as in patches of hair.*cue shrieks* Z, with a lil persuasion from me, had a great bitching session about celebs. Kym Ng is a perfect celeb to work with as she is very professional and nv kicks up a fuss. Felicia Chin is a sweet girl and Z absolutely loves her to death. But Fiona Xie is the biggest bitch of them all as according to Z she is very very demanding and stubborn to hell.

However they all share the common thread of having shite destroyed hair. their glossy magazine locks are done by using an entire bottle of hair serum and oil before using lighting and a great amount of photoshop work to make them look perfect. One celeb, name witheld as apparently Z is vv fond of her as she is a vv nice person, had hair so destroyed the serum cldnt work on her and she had to actually wear a wig!

so u see, all those actresses and models are actually all humans, just like you and me. in fact, some of them are worse then us.

fussing abt appearances is important, but we sld not let it totally take over our lives and kill the person that we are inside by becoming an empty soul.

which actually, would do me a good reminder to stop fussing abt my weight.

ah well.
