Why does the media always protray beauty as being tall long hair and light skinned?

in my opinion i think that the media is very one sided on what beauty really is its always the long haired light skin and skinny girls making all the publicity (beyonce, halle berry, paris hilton etc) i think that the media should show more of a variety of people of all different skin tones sizes and hair esp in the modeling industry because not all people have that certain media look





in the future i hope to come up with a beauty and fashion magazine that shows people of all hair skin colors and sizes because in my opinion i think that beauty comes in many varities not just the typical standard of beauty what do you think?

Years ago in the 50,s , all the miss America,s were proportionate women. Back then you called them healthy. After Twiggy, an English celebrity, came along, society made everyone think "thin" was in. Personally I think people who get thin like that look anorexic to me. It,s sad that so many were affected by what others perceived as beautiful caused so many to starve themselves to death because they wanted to be accepted. Being a guy I can tell you that most men want a woman that takes care of herself both physically and mentally and has more brains than the ones on "beauty and the geek. Yes they may look attractive on the outside but how could anyone carry on an intelligent conversation with any of them. There are many girls out there who may not win a beauty contest but in my book, every person possesses beauty, either in the way they speak or in the way their heart shines. Outside beauty fades with age; inner beauty only get more beautiful.

Reply:I think we live in an egocentric world where people will always focus on the beauty of the exterior rather than the interior. I have met many beautiful looking people who were ugly on the inside, unfortunately the world doesn't care about that though.
Reply:Skinny is ugly. Like em thick. Not too thick though, can be tough to chew.
Reply:PFffhh LMAO Beyonce and Halley berry are NOT light skinned LMAO paris hilton is and cant you see the difference between paris hilton, beyonce, and halley's skin color? gosh..

Reply:we have been sooo brainwashed to believe this, that we get upset when someone disagrees. Beauty is personal to every individual.
Reply:I completely agree with you but I don't know when this mindset is going to change. Damn media.
