victoria's secret runway show
It's that time again, time for the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. It's the night when girls gather around to eat carrots and drink water while watching, and every boyfriend and husband of semi-normalcy goes M.I.A. I wonder why it's such a big deal? I mean, there is so much porn available to us, just a click away, with really hot girls in underwear and less...I understand these are supermodels we're talking about here but really? They're just beautiful women with good bodies wearing not very many clothes. That is readily available on the internet. Maybe it has to do with the whole show of it. I think that's what it is for the girls anyways. Or their excuse. Girls want to look at the beautiful women and think about how badly they wished they looked like the models did, and how they are going to try to do their hair and makeup the same way and walk with confidence so men will want them. They say it's about the cute underwear and costumes but I think it's an excuse to look at what the media has told them is the ideal. Men just have a great excuse to look at what is practically porn and have it be socially acceptable to do in public. No matter what the reasoning however, it is sad that these supermodels that probably do nothing but work out and throw up have become the ideal that women should look up to. It's an entire night dedicated to showing women that a specific body type and a specific style is sexy and if you don't have it, then you're just out of luck and you better hope you find a guy who will love you for the inside. Everyone, men and women both, has been trained and programmed through repetition to believe that the model type is the ideal standard of beauty.
