Is beauty really skin deep??????..


First of all lets get into the definition of beauty being skin deep straight away - according to me..: it means that beauty is not all abt looking good but how the person is, the nature, the thoughts, the way the person carries his/er personality, behaviour!!..but... How much do we really search for such beauty??.. Not initially… dare anybody says NO!!.

If beauty is really skin deep then why r thr so many ads which stress on fairness, wrinkle free, spotless etc etc cosmetic products...... WHY??. Why matrimonial ads always mention - "wanted good looking , fair, slim brides or handsome grooms"??? Why hospitality sector, aviaton industries look for only well chiseled features, perfect 10 bodies.... (no exaggeration at all.).... Would like to blame the beauty pageants the most in this regard which on one hand says beauty is skin deep but on the othr hand have never been able to endorse the same.

Isn't it the age old legacy of biased perception that has been passed on to generations after generations... Why such hypocrisy in the society which virtually says simplicity/natural beauty/a person's thoughts matters more than anything whereas in reality they themselves knock at the door of cosmetic surgeons!!.. I dnt mind calling it racism!!

Am waiting for the day when the word ugly, fat, complexion will be removed from the dictionary If they are out, thr wont be any discriminatory adverstisements, people will be accepted the way they are and world would be a better place to live in..... wat a dream!!! will my waiting be worth enough?? honestly NO..... truth hurts..... it surely does..... nevermind.. but I blv in one thing for sure…..Beauty Lies in the eyes of beholder.. but again...the volatile question arises.. abt.. 'how genuine the beholder is'???..
..think abt it!!

@gini: u r right... it is but a sad scenario... but den we can do nothing abt it!! dats how strong the media blitz and how the midset of teh ppl have been moulded..... let's blv in wot we hold to be true and den go ahead.. hope more join in!!
as for your last question, i have only one answer: its a matter of belief..... u have to believe... the choice to believe is yours!!!

But there is always a beast hidden inside the beauty!!! It comes down from origin of animals on the face of earth... BEAUTY is one of the medium to attract the opposite sex...

Now whatever you have stated... go through again and think along this line... you will get the answer...

Beauty is skin deep to certain extent but it's not all... beauty is a generic term which we use to associate with the aspects that we like/love the most.

Lastly... I must say... beauty has to be skin deep to certain extend else Darwin's evolution theory will hold no ground...

different people have different opinions on beauty .... Yea but i do agree that nowadays rhere's such a tremendous influx of cosmetics and due to industry demands the old adage that "beauty is skin deep" is like a faux pas...
But when two people r in love what kind of chemistry do u think it'd be ...
beauty that's skin deep or on the outside...
As I said before beauty depends on perception....

see its depends from person to person. as like u can't define madness same as u can't define beauty. for some beauty is only related to skin and people have different views on beauty!! u simply can't judge them. but ya for urself u can choose a certain angle to define beauty. i would like to say be perfect in that angle u choosed and nobody would be able to defeate ur thoughts. so remember what ever u choose to belive stick to it even if later u found the concept wrong because their are many examples which force us to pounder on the contradiction of true and false. take the example of saddam for some he may be god and for others he may be no less than the devil himself and for the rest it really doesn't matter. the only point is that he had stick to his own views and the history will define him from time to time as a warrior, a dectator, arespected citizen or a heartless person. do that and u will grow!!
nice blog and nice views

beauty!!!ah well...varies 4m person 2 person..skin deep beauty is what we talk of one's persona..d appeal..d innerself..but do ppl go by dat always?no..when we first see a person..we see d face..d way he/she carries himself/herslef..dat makes an impression first..dere we make a judgement as to shud we know d person more or not..its kinda human..wen we see something dirty..we tend to avoid it..but wen we see somethin enchanting we get attracted..find me a person who loves d sight of drains..if u find some..then i bet he hasnt felt d charm of a blooming flower..

so its all in d mind..what we all crave for is what our eyes can feast upon..isnt?

@Isha, really a nice blog.
There goes a old saying in Tamil, "For a crow, its chick is the golden chick". Beauty lies not on the physical features that we percieve though our senses, but on the inner personality. Where there is pure love, there we find little faults!! According to me, she who really loves me cares for me, be every thing in my life is the most beautiful. Beauty has nothing to do with the skin.

wow 17 posts..n yeh i agree with name..eerr..sumit...wenz ur next post?? :O??

lol..now bak 2 the topic..firstly i think i haveta give it to cattie she pronounced the exact words i wanned 2 put forth u know..

frankly you always approach someone whom your attracted to. the inner soul comes laterwell as 4 the complexion thingy temme one thing barring the sugery factor arnt you just enhancing what god gave you? hmm? yes many take that to the extreme but personaly i feel the individual is responsible for that. if your confident about yourself and your style youd never get "things" done to urself as in change yourself. isnt naomi campbell pretty..many myt disagree but frankly many think she is even if she is dark complexiond..heck dnt go outta india man...dnt u think nandita das is charming....its her character which attracts you. the fact tht the lady is confident enuf about her charms that make her so beutiful....i feel that these fairness creams and botox shots would never work in the market if women and men are confident about themselves..so it boils down to us as individuals to change the mindset. love yourself..of course you should enhance what god gave you..that aint no harm..i mean ohk use a bloody fairness cream to get the real complexion in you.the one god gave and pollution spoiled....

get into your real body structure...(heck i shudnt b sayin tht i am a lazy bum :P) lol....but really i mean either b ohk with wat u r...ur wieght wont b noticed your personality will or do something about it..simple.....but yeh

dnt expect a shilpa shetty to start looking as thin as an urmila matorkar(dunno the spelling guys sry ) newyz coz thier body structures differ to the tee....

hmm i dunno if i kept myself frm wandering...but i just wrote this in a flow..hope i wasnt sounding too wierd here coz i dnt have the patience to go bak n edit :P

but yeh nice point of view isha :D

Beauty is commonly defined as a characteristic present in a person, place, object or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction to the mind or to the eyes, arising from sensory manifestations such as a shape, color, personality, sound, design or rhythm.

The defination pretty much sums it up..

Mez said...

Hey Gini,

I have a Bloggerville Crush Confession post on my blog for which ppl are dedicating mssgs to their crushes.

Sam has left a dedication for you which goes like this:

Ah well!!!
Mine is Gini
And well.. what do I say about her... she is a special one.. and though she hasn't written any post in ages, I still go back to read whatever little that she had written... and well... can't say much... to those who are regular around on my space, already know a lot about what I have to say about her... (that's a lot!!) so I'll cut short and say, "even if the twain may never meet, thou shalt always remain the special one... now and forever!!!"
:)

.............
U can have a look at it in the comments section of my post titled as Bloggerville Crush Confessions.

So I took the plunge -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-452-with-ValveDock.html]Fatman iTube Valve[/url] and I've got to say I am pleasantly surprised. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I rang them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Best accessory I could have bought...

He claimed to have been born with the knowledge of how to read and nothing else but the act of reincarnation could explain this phenomenon. However, he would never be drawn into elaborating on who he could have been in a previous life. From his point of view, that would have been to dilute the issue by delving into the realms of speculation and fantasy..It's not just for groceries, either: for example, you can buy bulk packages of towels intended for cleaning and detailing cars, and use them in the kitchen. They're extremely sturdy and a lot cheaper than most kitchen towels (not to mention much less disposable than paper towels). Bulk cooking is a more efficient use of appliance energy and your time, (and a great excuse to throw a party), so cook up a nice big pot of soup and anticipate saving (and eating) lots of leftovers.
