Today while flipping channels on TV, an interesting thought crossed my mind ,which made me think about the human perception of beauty.
We all love six-pack abs of SRK and aspire to look like that Kate-Moss like “thingies”. (I am not really sure if some of these uber thin models are humans as they look like badly done experimental humanoids with their emaciated looks) .Yet Ugly Betty happens to be one of the top rated sitcoms and America Ferreira’s character goes on to win an Emmy as well as hearts of people worldwide.
So what is the conclusion..?Are we really in love with these perfect bodies? We all love to say we are size 0, but yet adore Betty’s character. The bushy-browed, gaudily-dressed, sloppy Betty! Why it is that such a fashion faux pas is the main protagonist. May be this shows that we still have some amount of grey matter not yet influenced by fashion mafia!(err. I mean fashion media).
Is it because we all pretend to be superficial but actually are not as shallow as we like to be! After all I have always believed that we are genetically programmed to be nice but just try to act otherwise. May be somewhere deep down in our mind we actually want to be like Betty –a carefree person free from hassles of trying to be someone else.
Go Betty..!!! :)
