Beauty Pill

This is a collage I did today from an outdated fashion magazine. Yes, I know, the words are all backwards, but I had to hold it up to my imac to take this photo, so please accept my apologies.

There is a kind of resentment lots of women feel towards modern beauty standards. We put some women up on a stage and expect the others to either conform or get out of our sight. I find this terribly upsetting. I was sort of venting my sadness at not being able to conform. I'll never be Marilyn or any waifish woman, but I can create artwork with next to no money. Does that make me pretty?
