Buy The Cover But Toss The Book

What do a three year old wearing high heels and a death caused by a butt augmentation operation have in common?
Both are instances where the sacrifices for beauty would have been unheard of a generation ago.
Has society become so image obsessed that the person behind the skin is no longer relevant?
For Suri and Solange, the risks inherent in their beauty regime were no match for the rewards of being one of the beautiful ones.
What a lesson for a three year old to learn!
Of course every little girl likes to play dress up, but while being a princess is important, so is dressing as a dragon, an astronaut, a mud puddle monster. The point is to play around with identity.
Suri is learning that for a proper lady looks are very important. The discomfort or health issues that the shoes may cause is irrelevant to the satisfaction she gives people who look at her.
Once you understand that you have no value as a person, then taking risks to maintain your beauty makes sense. If you are ugly you no longer have any worth. You’re almost better off dead.
Mourning the death of their mother, Solange‘s eight year old twins probably disagree.
