Movie Stars

1) The Thin Side:

We are influenced by movies, magazines and music -no - we are seduced by movies magazines and music. And we want to be in that world.

But - that world doesn't exist, except on the screen and on the glossy magazine page and in the music studio.

Those people, the movie stars, the magazine models, the Diva singers, don't live in the real world. They don't live in your or my world. That means they don't have to function as you or I function. In fact they find it hard to be 'normal'

Remember a movie star makes his or her money by being stared at by millions of people on giant screens all round the world. Their every skin flaw and blemish shows. They have 'make-up and hair' that takes hours before they can 'appear'. They have trainers and doctors and advisors that exist only to make sure they have no 'flaw" on that screen. And they live in a world where everybody they know or ever meet, is also in that world.

Life in the public eye, where your money is made only when million are staring at you, has a tremendous cost; -to your ego; how you think you should look; and of course - to the concept of a balanced life.

Yes of course they are paid (the top few) handsomely to have their skin stretched flat skin and take the Botox, and starvation diets.

However we are not. That is not our world. We do not need the work outs and diets that make our body's shrink until our heads are the biggest thing on our body. We can be normal.

We are lucky, to be able to have normal lives.

Of course the seduction (in the movies and the magazines) is not an accident it is planned and we are encouraged by everything around us to have that 'look'.

Enjoy the movies and the magazine's - but stay you. Be normal. Be happy with you. And your body - remember that show "How to Look Good Naked"? (The U.K. version) It was a show about teaching women their bodies were fine just as they were, and they could look good, sexy, and attractive, bulges included. It taught a great lesson.

Your body type is probably not the same as Michelle Pfeiffer, slight and small, so don't try and be like her. If you are Caucasian and you have Asian friends you are two different body types don't try to emulate each other
