We live in a world. A cruel world. As unforgiving this place may seem, there are still people who look beyond the surface of others. But for the vast majority, looks are all that matter. It's either you look good or you don't. If you think you're somewhere in between, you are either an animal or that you don't quite know what you are doing.

It is human nature to play along and go with the flow, even if it means to follow blindly. If you can't beat them, join them! Haven’t we all heard that before? I am not against following what other people do, but neither is I going all out to be original and be in a class of my own. Similar to the above paragraph, this politically correct yet personally uncomfortable position makes me nothing more than an animal. But oh well…

It wouldn’t be very dignified to become a sheep, the same way it is to be jazzercised and alienated.

Not digressing any more, I must say that I try to look fabulous most of the time, besides when I’m at home, where I look like the Loch Ness monster. Unimaginable isn’t it?

Keeping up appearances can really be a 2^nd job, especially if you are in the alternative lifestyle group or are America’s Next Top Model. You are being evaluated, not on intelligence or goodness of heart, but on looks. Oh my! Adonis, is that all I have become?

What to do? I just have to carry on squeezing my pimples, plucking my eyebrows and doing my nails. I have to exfoliate micro-dermabrate and moisturize my skin (actually, I can’t be bothered most of the time) I have to look great, its not because I want to, but have to. I have to ask other people if I look presentable. As clothes maketh the man, I think that’s enough said and we haven’t even talked about shoes yet.

Oh yes! I must add. Cecilia Chueng in the SKII commercial “The skin is like a body…” Huh? I don’t know what she is talking about, but I won’t bitch about that.
