And, in fact, how shallow the popular culture of this country has become. A 'stylish future' is just another word for gloss over substance and praising the herd mentality over individualism. Sad that stylishness is deemed more important than the person inside. Rowan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 13/07/07 15:23 Yes it is yucky. Criminal what they have done to a sacred place. I also don't like the way Trinny and suzanna take it upon themselves to "fix people's problems" while making a cheap buck. At all. But especially by focusing on the superficiality that is the clothes people wear and how they do their hair!! And to get paid to push this message. They aren't qualified to tinker about with peoples minds the way they do and on TV!! Apart from that you would hope that they would be promoting a different message such as beauty is more than skin deep and stop nurturing this feeling of "lack" within people and the people they get on their shows and those that watch them are brainwashed into thinking image will make them happy!!!! I was a teenager in the late 70s/early 80s. It was better then, things were not as shallow though I would never have thought things would have got worse in this department. For a woman there was still a sense of the womans movement, that helped me be strong and independent without feeling I need to flaunt myself or wear make up or dye my hair. Now it is as if men are expected to be obssessed with their image aswell otherwise there is something wrong with them and they wont do 'well' in life or get a partner etc. It is a horrible direction to be going in. I have greying hair I refuse to dye in a long plait down my back. My clothes are from thrift stores or markets. My children cringe at me sometimes that I look older than their friends mums and why don't I dress from the high street. Of course I don't facially look any older it is just they can't see past the images they are getting from TV and school. Trinny and Suzzanna would have a heart attack to look at me and have plenty of silly superficial advise to dish out. That in itself is an insult to me and patronising. But I feel fine so what the hell. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
