The Distortion of Beauty



I've seen this video a couple of times, every time I get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. These people are debasing God's greatest creation. Stripping it of it's gorgeous uniqueness and degrading to man's low standard of so called "beauty". Ugh.

Wow, Lydia. That's so sad! The make-up is one thing, but editing it on the computer... that's horrible!

I believe that every woman or girl that I see is beautiful because they were made by God in His image.

Have you ever heard the Steven Curtis Chapman song 'Fingerprints of God'? This post reminds me of that.

Yeah I stole it. I admit it. I figured it was okay since you only linked to it.

Cassie: The computer editing is what makes me mad too! I don't remember that song, but I like Steven Curtis Chapman, so I'll have to check it out.

Hey Lydia!

yeah I know... ugh.

Hope you're having a great time on your vacation!

BTW, where did you find those supercute sidebar pics? (i.e, the 'cinderella' one?)

Hugs!

That's just wrong!
It reminds me of the song "Beautiful You". I'm not sure who sings it but the choirs is: "There could never be a more beautiful you!
Despite the lies, disguises and hoops they make you jump through.
You were made to fill a purpose that only you can do.
So there could never be a more beautiful you!"

When I saw this it made me think of the same song (beautiful you). It's by Jonny Diaz.
At least it shows that it's pretty hopeless to try to look like a model or something.

It's adorable isn't it?
