First things first;
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/bodyconfidence/
Everyone should sign this because a) they can and b) I totally believe in it.
They barely cover it in schools, other than basics, but I know too many people who have had eating disorders and are obsessed with body image; myself included. The main reason for mine, and I'll admit it, is that dammit I just wanna be seen as beautiful and the models and people who are portrayed as beautiful never get spots, never have bags under their eyes, don't have cellulite, etc.
Yes, my logical side says that the photos are nearly always airbrushed, but that vain little bit of me who wants to be "beautiful" just refuses to remember that those magazine looks are unachievable.
Other things...
I'm so in love with my new winter scarf. It's just driving me mildly insane though because it smells vaguely of boyfriend and he's run away on tour =[ 6 lonely cold nights. Definitely truly need to get me some proper winter clothes. Hmmm.
Job interview tomorrow as well. If I get this job I think it'll mean lots of smart clothes in my wardrobe... So what a shame that'll require a shopping trip again. Damn. Not! I enjoy shopping far too much; even if it's frustrating to do for myself at times.
Disappointingly little else to say, have been flicking through my Harper's Bazaar which arrived yesterday along with my Vogue - I love subscriptions - I don't even have to remember when magazines are due out or making sure I have enough cash on me etc. It's wonderful.
Anyway, off I best run to do some research for my interview etc. More talks soon hopefully. :)
