They didn't look bad without makeup, but that sure was unsettling. |

I recently went to my friends house to check out his wii. I was generally impressed. It was larger than I expected though.

The competition was organised by Lorraine Cosmetics based in New York. The Mail just covered it. You seem to think they went out and scouted 8000 women just for some thinly-veiled piece on white supremacy.

Oh and back to Carmen, I just noticed this: "Florence has all the classic signs of beauty,' she added. 'She has large eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and a fair complexion. Symmetry appears to be a very important cue to attractiveness." Which doesn't do anyone any favours. Could argue that it goes for 'classic signs of beauty' but it gets it all mixed up in that article which just ends up spouting out that classic signs of beauty pretty much equal modern signs of beauty. It's like Harry Potter being written in Olde English. |

I'd argue that a 'fair' complexion does not mean 'must be light skinned' but I'm guessing I'd be fighting a losing battle. In the meantime, let's go and read the Beyonce thread for a little compare & contrast. I've already seen one post explicitly calling out her dark skin as a source of her beauty. |

We use it to describe most things. But using fair in that context makes me think of fair hair, which means bright. Not clean. Or fair weather, which means bright. Not dark. Just me being fairist. Should point out that I'm not saying there's anything inherently racist about that article itself, just that there's something inherently rotten about the paper it stems from.

Ideas and notions of beauty are interesting anyway, it's so varying and subjective. |

Let me put it another way: I don't think the Mail would have reported it if she was a member of an ethic minority. |

I don't think they'd have reported it if she was from outside the UK. I don't take issue with The Mail being a shit-rag, I take issue with there instantly being a 'problem' because this woman is white. As though no impartial study / survey could possibly produce such a thing without the guiding hand of a master racist behind it. Perhaps I came away with the wrong impression of the 'Aryan' posts. |
