Beauty Real/Fake & Life for Rent (Dido)

There 2 topics probably got more to do with each other then one would imagine

I was watching NTV7 Without A Trace ( missing persons drama) and came across a profounding statement that intrigued me. The episode was an aka "Swan Lake" a "not good looking girl" transformed to a goddess and look for love in her new found outlook all the time an equally square guy pines and loves her but she dun see it.

Her quote in the video clip of her "Swan Lake" episode was "I am a gud girl inside, I am beautiful inside but people don't get to see it because of the way I look on the outside...I wish I can change that"

In life we all go thru this. In in the materialistic world we live in everyday this is a challenge, I told a fren once this, its not the brand on the jeans but the way it fits, sadly she dun hear well enough.

LIfe For Rent (DIDO) is one of the most profound statements that she has ever written. If you think about it, life is what you get out of it, life is what you put in to it. If you rent life then you will never own life. IF it is rented then it becomes a life for someone else to rent. If you are so afraid to do something to the point where you won't even try then that is not living at all, that is renting life, not living life.

"While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try, well how can I say I'm alive" This means so much, it's the most profound part of the song. You should live your life with no regrets. Don't put off doing something because you MIGHT regret it in the future or because you MIGHT fail at it. That isn't what living life is about. And standing here I am.

Question in this world we live in of botox, face lifts, breast augmentation, facials where do you draw the line between living you life and renting you life. If your body really you

there is another show you can watch and get the same statements everytime - 'extreme makeover' it aint abt just woman - watch how man are just as same.
while good statement on how it the jeans that fit you - would you admire the ass of an overweight out of shape woman or a nice in shape firm round ass both in a nice fitted jeans?do you dream of a nice firm body having hot sex with you or overweight 'michelian tyre'body with body fat and layers of loose skin jiggling on you...now lets just talk abt honesty....hey sorry to be blunt you are a man while many can talk i like many others have also see your eyes admiring that nice firm round ass vs those out of shape ones.
why even the man does it when they decide to loose weight/grow a french beard and so on just so they can close to a gal they fancy or just getting back on the market.
why is it if the female is a close friend man says stuffs like its not your body/shape - but when it comes to the woman they desire/lust for 'the package' does matter!! please tell me why the double standards?
How many man can actually be honest enough to say they lust an overweight/out of shape/ugly woman? their honestly shatters when their behaviour and body language speaks the truth. and to think we woman do not actually know how the first thing man compare and rate is the body of the woman they slept with...does all the 6/10, 3/10 sound familiar boys and gals? - we visit all the website where you guys put up statements too.
Thats our animal instinct- the female will lure- thats our role we try to improve/beautify. some will sit with the air of 'alure' while others will sway their hips and dance to get the attention.
yes better boobs better body does have an advantage to feel wanted/lusted after/ and to see that look in eyes of a man we want...what does all that give us - 'confidence'.
if i had the extra money i too would do all that it takes 'to fix myself' a minute of lust in his eyes - is a lifetime of satisfaction for us.
we are not stupid to think it will bring real love - but we are smart to know 'looks help' to get the attention and we must build on that.

I just dont get it, why people completely miss the plot. Its not what the opinion of others on you but how u feel you should be and should look. That in fqact was the moral of the episode it self

In your summaryyou hit it on the nail by saying "we are not stupid to think it will bring real love - but we are smart to know 'looks help' to get the attention and we must build on that. "

That was the point of my blog in reflection to that episode and that song...
