What is beauty? I think everyone has their own idea of what beauty is. I certainly do and I am pretty sure you do as well. Before I go any further I would like to ask you a couple of questions? How do you perceive what beauty is and how does society see it? Two totally different questions when you think about it and here is what I think what beauty is and in a way should be.

What is beauty? Is it a Australian size 8-10 long hair, blue eyes and drop dead gorgeous. Or is it what goes on in the inside of your mind, regardless if you are a female or male. The media portrays the first thought hands down, just about every image that is used in advertising has a pretty decent looking person in it. Why do you ask?? ........because that is what society wants us to see. We don't want to look at a over weight person or someone that is not easy on the eye do we?? ( Or though plus size models have been around for a while now, but I will leave that for another editorial to write about ) We want to look at a beautiful person who has nice feature's and is something that we would all want to inspire be like, and that is physically beautiful.

But in my opinion it is what goes on the inside of your mind is what really makes a person beautiful. Or more to the point how they project there beauty that they have on the inside to the outside that will really make them beautiful. This is how I would like to see the media portray beauty but unfortunately it doesn't.

So I ask you this, the next time you meet what yo may think is a attractive person regardless if it is a male or female, do they project there beauty across to you?
