Most of our so-called intellectuals are fraudsters who are too incompetent to do their homework before they air out an opinion. Liberating ourselves from the twisted world views they provide us is an important part of building ourselves happy lives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a 28 years old Ukranian woman named\u00a0Valeria Lukyanova, who believes that she is from Venus and decided to change her look to suit her inner body image. \u00a0She chose herself the look of a Japanese anemi character and achieved it using intelligent makeup and some cosmetic surgery (her age, heavy makeup and surgical assistance are all contested). \u00a0People started calling her a living doll, and then a living Barbie. \u00a0That’s flattering the Barbie doll because she is so much prettier. \u00a0Lukyanova is a singer, sort of, and wanted to use her new look to spread her spiritual message of peace from Venus (and, perhaps, to sell some music).<\/p>\n
But something quite unexpected happened. \u00a0More and more young women are wanting to follow Lukyanova and are going in for living doll looks. \u00a0Being a living doll is not for the faint at heart. \u00a0It calls for a radical lifestyle modifications, and dollops of money to pay for the mandatory cosmetic surgeries! \u00a0Unlike our friendly neighborhood intellectuals would like us to believe, these women are not being brain washed by the Galactic Association of Cosmetic Surgeons or evil multi-national corporations trying to sell them trillions of dollars worth of eye liners to these unsuspecting young women. \u00a0They are not even doing this to get themselves more boys. \u00a0They do it so that their outer look matches with their inner body image.<\/p>\n
Funny and misguided girls you say? \u00a0Well, not so fast.<\/p>\n
Take our male body builders and high octane actions stars. \u00a0We have all noticed how they ripping muscles augmented by multiple steroid cycles and Synthol<\/a>\u00a0(of course, they hotly contest the usage of steroids or Synthol). \u00a0Isn’t it strange that these guys have more heterosexual male fans than women fans? \u00a0None of these famous muscle heads have ever been called a sex symbol. On the other hand, the most popular sex symbol today, George Cloony, doesn’t even take his shirt off in most movies. \u00a0If you have tried googling “George Cloony Shirtless”, you will know why!<\/p>\n If this body is found sexy by most women, then why are the body builders spending huge amount of efforts and money on ripping muscles? \u00a0The muscle size doesn’t even add to one’s longevity, mental acuity or money earned. \u00a0Like the living dolls, the body builders are catering to the self-image that is typical of their own sexes!<\/p>\n Barbie doll’s body proportions appeal to the girls. \u00a0Most guys, on the other hand, salivate for the curvy and strong body of Xena the Warrior Princess!<\/p>\n Cosmopolitan<\/a>\u00a0is the leading lifestyle magazine for young women and Maxim<\/a> caters to young men. \u00a0Make a quick comparison between the models you find in them and you will find the women in Cosmo are more stick-like. \u00a0Whereas the women in Maxim must have curves. \u00a0Anorexia, or something close to it, seem to be the inner body-image template and most women try to gravitate to this. \u00a0They spend a lifetime trying to go as close to this self image as possible.<\/p>\n Take a look at any men’s fitness magazine and you will find ripping muscles, advertisements for muscle building supplements and black market steroids. \u00a0On the other hand, women oriented fitness magazines seldom post pictures of Mr. Universe. \u00a0Page after page, the post lean and athletic looking male bodies with broad, well formed shoulders and V shaped torso. \u00a0Like Ken. \u00a0Men who are looking for ripping are doing it to cater to their own inner urge.<\/p>\n Is it wrong to desire a body that appeals to one’s own inner image? \u00a0Of course, not! \u00a0If their body-desires doesn’t hurt anyone else, or it doesn’t conflict with their other priorities, what they do with their own body is none of anyone else’s business.<\/p>\n Is it wrong to blame the corporations, capitalists, multi-nationals, patriarchy, media and the buffalo for this phenomenon? \u00a0Of course, yes!<\/p>\n Most of our so-called intellectuals are fraudsters who are too incompetent to do their homework before they air out an opinion. \u00a0Liberating ourselves from the twisted world views they provide us is an important part of building ourselves happy lives.<\/p>\n That is the central tenet of this blog!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
