I truly believe every individual is beautiful in their own way.
Some just have to learn better ways of flattering their unique looks.
I've worked as a lifeguard for the past 4 summers. Sadly, I've become highly critical of what kinds of people should wear certain kinds of swimsuits. And unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that 90% of the Americans should just not wear the swimsuits they wear. Not just because of the obesity issue that regulary swamps our media, but because a lot of the swim suits are flat out tacky and unflattering. They also reveal everything tacky and unflattering about a person. Yes, I think very heavy people should not wear a thong bikinis. Doesn't everyone? But if you have marijuana tattoed on your arm... maybe you should cover that up while at a public pool. Having your name tattooed across your stomach also seems a little strange.
Maybe I'm the swimsuit nazi, but when one gets bored watching people not drown... well you think of these things. And all I want is for people to be aware of their tackiness, and then be aware of how to show off their true beauty, realistically. To the fat thong lady... Maybe just hang it up in your room as motivation, Buy a suit to hug and caress your curves, not expose them. To the marijuana armed man: consider expressing your love for drugs in a more politically correct manner. To the tatted tummy: show off your waist with objects that won't stretch out and be ruined when you potentially get pregnant with triplets.
But really, everyone IS beautiful in their own unique way. But everyone CANNOT look like the fake people we see in the media. If we all learned to accept and appreciate our own bodies, then we wouldn't have to try and appear like their bodies. If it is individuality and personalization you seek in your style, consider embracing the mind, and make that the highlight of your wardrobe by going against the grain. Embellish that which gets undermined by the ubsurdity of sexual promiscuity being the epitomy of beauty. Reveal the beauty of your mind.
