Guess I did found something to write lol.
Read through ZB's latest blog post about Make-Ups. Human Transformers.
In terms of using a Literary Way of putting things, with regard to Homo Sapiens, what do you think about Appearances V.S Reality?
In ZB's blog he showed quite some cases of not so pretty girls turning into very visually attractive ones via Make-up, and he concluded that the World is full of masks and facades. How does one define beauty? How to draw a line between a mask and an effort to look tidy and presentable?
It's impossible to define.
Someone once told me humans are 70% makeup 30% true colors. I think as humans, we are never immune to how visual appearances can affect our judgement. Lie to yourself for all you want that you can judge people well or not (especially those who said "oh I am a shrewd judge of other ppl's character -.-) , but I think in reality nobody can judge anybody else really well. We just have to try to understand one another. It is very very difficult to judge a person purely by his or her personality unless you know that person very well, and appearances take up most of th empty space. Sometimes appearances on the whole do really suggest something about a peron. If someone bothers to make himself or herself look neater, nicer, tidier, it just shows that that person has self-respect or discipline or simply hopes to make other people feel more pleasant when they socialize. A dishevelled guy I once saw straightaway gave me the impression that he can't be bothered about himself and that's why when we go to interviews or when we meet up with people we deem as important or when we dress up for important occassions, we try to look out best, and I believe there's nothing wrong with that. Looks are something at times.
But then nothing should be taken to the extreme, isnt it. What ZB probably meant would be those not so pretty people going to extremes and taking up loads of efforts just for the sake of looking pretty without an aim, or simply wanting attention. Yucks, eh. I think everybody needs other people's attention sometime or another, but how we do it will decide on whether we get it or not, maybe. I have made some pretty dumb mistakes and I think I still will lol, so I think those people who try so hard to look pretty have their understandable sides, and I feel some compassion for them.
So guys, what would YOU look for in a girlfriend, when the truth is those Beautiful Celebrities and Girls walking on the streets are actuallly no different from most other girls except for the fact that they spend more money on eyeshadows and peach-colored base tones?
