When I was growing up, there were no Asian models, and I remember being in 6th grade and looking in the mirror and being disappointed at what I saw. It was disheartening because I knew that I would never be able to pull off blue eye and blond hair (unless I wanted to be an Anime character). I tried to stop looking at the magazines that my sister loved, but it was all around me.<br /><br />One of the nice things about getting older is that we learn to love ourselves. Your daughters have your support and encouragement. While they will assuredly have moments of doubt about their physical appearance, they will also know that they are loved. As they grow up, they will be able to see just how beautiful they are.<br /><br />This is how we gain our true ideas of beauty and it makes it a bit easier to stop stressing about nose jobs and big boobs. Most of the time anyway...Hsin-Yihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192752282293828868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-53833018702707708192009-11-01T11:48:11.296-08:002009-11-01T11:48:11.296-08:00It is so sad that even the most "perfect"...It is so sad that even the most "perfect" of the beautiful models is not perfect enough. Hell, anybody could be a supermodel, since they Photoshop the pictures anyway. As I get older, I actually pity the girls that are known for their beauty. It must be so hard for them to face getting older and "losing their looks." Better to be the smart one, or the funny one, or the eccentric one--you can keep being that one until the day you die.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-5080055500052409152009-10-31T21:35:54.804-07:002009-10-31T21:35:54.804-07:00What's the big deal?
