Ron, your entry about Dodi is the best one in the thread and you had me in tears. You spoke the greatest truth there. That's beauty. Barbie comes out of a cookie cutter, as VirtualSite basically states here in entry #30. They all look alike. How do you even define beauty other than something like perfect teeth, big violet eyes, thick blonde hair, flawless complexion, etc. There used to be a clerk in a local grocery store, a young woman of about 19 or 20. She was overweight by about 30 lbs. or so, but she had skin I would kill for. You only saw her pretty face, in spite of her weight. So wearing a size 3 and having all the right elements that Hollywood dictates is the standard of "beauty" is pretty insignificant. I've known people whom you would describe as somewhat nerdy or plain at first sight, but when I got to know them, I realized they were a lot more attractive than I first thought. Maybe the guy in the next cubicle wears glasses, his hair is getting a little thin on top, but he has a very handsome smile. I think that's what counts. There really isn't any such thing as perfection. It's all a standard that the fashion industry has created and planted in our minds. I prefer to see individuality rather than cookie cutter perfection. My two cents worth. Melanie
