LOOKS

Journos have commented that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby will be a vision of perfection. With the genetics of Mr Pitt and Ms Jolie, supposedly, the baby cant do wrong in the looks department.

(1) I dont think Mr Pitt is the most perfect looking man on this earth...albeit, i may be the only woman who thinks this...but thats my 2 cents.

(2) I also dont think that Ms Jolie is a vision of perfection compared to all the women on this earth...her lips just dont do it for me!

Question: Is it possible, even though you are genetically pre-disposed to looking good (cos both your parents look good), but you turn out like a complete ugmo...looking similar to your second cousin twice removed from some distant land of nowhere?

I mean, both my parents are good looking people and my brothers have grown up to be good looking men...I, as the only daughter, turned out...well...not quite so good looking? Unfortunately, in terms of body I didnt receive many genes from mum's side...i'm more like daddy's girl...I look more like my aunts (from dad's side) in that department!

Facial features, im a blend of both parents, while one brother looks like dad, and the other like mum. So, I guess that makes me look like the fugly confused one?!

I catch the train and there are a group of spanish women sitting together, they seem like friends from when they were young...they are all in their late 40's - 50's but i think they have aged gracefully. No nips or tucks. They are well dressed and well presented, they may have dyed their hair colour and they wear make up - and so they should!

I sit there thinking, while they chat furiously amongst themselves, how beautiful they must have looked when they were younger. You can still see in their face the beauty that they possess. Its a bit amazing to see a whole group of women who are friends that are so attractive and have aged attractively too. I mean if they can wear jeans and make it look good, at their age...thats amazing!

I have been stumped at how much my mother has changed over the years. Nothing unattractive and i'm not saying that she hasnt aged with grace...to be honest, if i could look like her at the age of 50...i'd say God was being extra kind to me!

For a grandmother of two, she is looking mighty fine! I think it helps that you have a smaller petite frame when you are younger, so that as you get older and you put on weight, it just looks like you gained curves in all the right places.

I guess mum was a size 4-6 when she had my older brother...about a 6-8 when she had me...then she went to about a size 8-10 after my little brother. Right about now, I would say that she is a size 10-12. From behind, i dont think you would be able to tell that she is a 50-something old woman with 3 children and 2 grandchildren. You'd be more inclined to guess that she was a 30-something woman with maybe 2 young kids at home.

Heh...funny that.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like if you were taller, smaller, fatter, skinnier, wider here, thinner there, bigger/smaller boobs, bigger/smaller bottoms, tiny tiny waist, bigger hips, etc?

Then stop to think "eh, im fine the way i am..."

Then after reading something, wonder what your future beholds???

In this months Cosmo, there is an article showing you (with some computer generated-) pictures the effects of alcohol and smoking on your face. And crikey...its a horrible look for the future...thankfully i dont smoke and drinking is not even minimal...its quite negligible. But nonetheless...I wonder what effects it would have on my looks all the passive smoking i have been imposed on all those years?!

Will i be fat and wrinkly like those pictures of those women???
>_<

And what about the whole, "you look as old as you feel"???

I currently feel like im 18 y/o...do i really look 18? I think the bags under my eyes will reveal my true age. Oh, the stoopid eye bags! And i can honestly say that the bouncers at bars/clubs stopped checking my id when i was about 19!
=P

So, why am i talking about all this sh!t about looks?!

Well, looks are important. I'm superficial...and so is everyone else. Not like that! More like...I want my guy to think that im the most beautiful woman he has ever met, whether or not that incapsulates personality, but i want him to think that way of me. I dont care about how he looks, but i do sort of! (If you get what i mean?) If he has won my heart, and thinks that im beautiful, I will think of him as the most perfect man on earth. Doing nice things, showing how much he cares, when he acts selflessly...every good deed magically erases whatever i found unattractive on the outside.

I dont know if this works for everyone, but it works for me...does this make me less superficial???

hmm...

Guess not!

Just to tie up this whole blog about nothing together...Baby Pitt/Jolie will be an attractive kid, i dont doubt it...but whether the baby will be the hottest babe on earth, i beg to differ...my neices are all gorgeous perfections!
