In LA, where I live, it's all about perfectionism. Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.
Sadly, in any industry and in any work-related environment, females always strive to achieve a certain amount of perfection, whether that be skinny or pretty. It's a constant, in our society.
Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.
I contend that every woman has the right to feel beautiful, no matter how scrambled her features, or how indifferent her features.
What I find most upsetting about this new all-consuming beauty culture is that the obsession with good looks, and how you can supposedly attain them, is almost entirely female-driven.
I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.
I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture.
Women will always be beautiful no matter what, and that's their specialty!
