Hey Guys,
So I wanted to talk about something that happen in my English class today. We were reading an essay called “The Controversey behind Barbie” by Prisna Virasin and she was telling how and why the first Barbie doll and then as years went how there was a Anti- Barbie, a Pro Barbie and a Moderate Barbie campaign. Showing both side of why they feel the way they did and saying that Barbie is just a doll and it’s immature to be arguing about a doll. Prisna then said when she was in college and she was introduced to feminism, she tried to deny any past connection with Barbie. She was a ashamed to have ever associated with this figure and feels sorry for little girls.
What I think of the subject is I’m Anti- Barbie, I’m against the whole thing. Yes, Barbie can do anything, but before that all she could focus on was fashion, makeup and how she looked. She had to be this prefect little doll that just cared about that. I never played with Barbie, I had Bratz, which kinda are/aren’t the same thing, but now thinking about it as a young adult, the doll was teaching little girls are you need is beauty, no brains. So maybe that’s why my generation is all about looks, I’m not completely, but I care if my outfit has a hole or a stain or if my hair is out of place. I’m not into the whole collection of make up. Waste of money and time too me. I love doing my nails and stuff, but that is only $1 and I use the whole bottle before I, myself, buy me more. Once in awhile I’ll treat myself like I did this week, I got my hair braided, which will last for 3 months and my nails, which will last as long as I want them to last. So to me money well spent, but if you’re spending more than 1/2 your check on make up that won’t stay on very long or you’ll forget it’s on and have to redo it, or it starts to rain and it messes up your whole face, which will mess up your whole day.
Girls now and days are trying to get “Sexy” & “Skinny” & “Hot”. How about looking “Smart” & “Beautiful” & “Comfortable”. That’s what I am. I am comfortable being in my skin, I am okay with being plus size, sometimes, I’m okay with the acne on my face, the beauty marks on my body, my nonexistenting thigh gap, whatever that is, my big boobs and butt, my kinda long/short hair, my lips, my eyes; I’m in love with who I am and what I look like. It took me awhile to be okay. A year ago I would have a list of things I wanna change and things I would say that I hate, but now those things I hate are the things that make me who I am. And Being Emmie is the most amazing journey I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to continue this.
So no matter what you look like, what people say or call you, you are beautiful and amazing. No one is perfect. There is no such thing as being perfect. Everyone has something that they don’t like, everyone makes mistakes. Just remember, No one can be a better YOU than YOU…. I don’t know where I heard that from…
