!WARNING! Highly opinionated RANT coming on, I wrote this in front of the TV about an hour and a half ago !WARNING!
And television has reached a new low. It's 1:09am (do you know where your children are?) and I was watching Trading Spaces Las Vegas. And when it ended, I was like "OK, I'll leave the TV on, see what's next", only for the most idiotic excuse for a show ever to come on. It was called "What Not to Wear" and has two stylists who, get this, style people for a living. They make money off off telling people how "unstylish" they are. Is anyone else as disgusted as I am? Anyway, it also includes a "lucky contestant" who *gasp* OMG! Get's a makeover so they can be trendy and just like everyone else! YAY!!
WHAT. THE. FUCK.. This is on THE LEARNING CHANNEL!?!?! The only thing you could possibly learn from this piece of pure garbage is how to be a total stuck up conforming stereotypical grade a asshole. They're telling this girl that her motherfucking PAJAMAS aren't "stylish" enough. The clothes this girl SLEEPS IN. ALONE. BY HERSELF. WHO GIVES A FLYING SHIT. I swear if I ever saw these "people stylists" on the street I'd fucking smack them upside the head. But then again, I wouldn't want to ruin those oh so perfect hairstyles and just so makeup applications. Oh no. I can't stand it. They represent everything thats fucked up with the way people judge each other in society. I mean SERIOUSLY do they even understand how INSECURE that could make a person feel? They've actually led themselve to belive they're helping this girl in life by giving her nicer clothes. WHAT THE HELL. On top of this, the "lucky contestant"s own FRIENDS AND FAMILY think this girl needs help. Well what kind of friends and family truly care enough about her appearance to humiliate her on national television? What the fuck happened to unconditional love?
Seriously youd have to be totally baked, sniffing glue and getting wasted all at the same time to think this show even has a shred of decency. Or you could just be one of those people who has to follow what's "trendy". I don't know what's worse. But these stupid stylists are telling this poor girl to..
STOP:
1. Wearing clothes she really likes
2. Being comfortable with the clothes she wears because they're "wrong" and "unstylish"
3. Being herself
and to..
START:
1. Wear things that are "flattering" to her
2. Shop at expensive stores because the clothes are "nicer"
3. Being self-concious about herself, basically.
4. Be just like everyone else
I am SO DISGUSTED. Why the hell should she have to wear what's "stylish" according to the "in" look thats only going to be "in" for what, the whole next five fucking minutes?! She was perfectly FINE with what she used to wear, and COMFORTABLE and HAPPY. LET THE POOR WOMAN BE. I mean, I don't know how she TRULY feels about the whole thing but its more of the concept of this stupid thing that irks me. Maybe its because my morals or "standards" for myself are more like:
1. Be yourself
2. Create your OWN style because it will never go "out of season" since it was never "in season" to begin with, plus you save a shitload of money on trying to keep up with "trends"
3. Wear whatever the fuck you want and don't let anyone try to tell you its "wrong" or it breaks "fashion rules" or whatever. Those stupid things were only invented by assholes who wanted everyone to conform and be alike in the first place. If you happen to like something thats considered "in" right now wear it. If you like something that's not, wear that too. Just wear what's YOU.
4. Don't watch such mind bogglingly lame crap on TV.
HOLY SHIT IT GETS WORSE. I didn't think this was POSSIBLE. Now they're fucking telling this girl that her HAIR AND MAKEUP ARE "WRONG". If I don't stop watching this I'm going to be sick. SICK. Gosh look at these ACTUAL quotes from the show..
"You look like somebody's grandmother"
"...Walking fashion disaster"
"She's going to get the brutal truth about her awful attire"
"Her wardrobe is a disgrace to herself and her company"
"No one should EVER look like that even on the weekends" (that one was from one of her "friends" too)
UUUUGHHHHH. I liked the girl at first because she didn't let everyone get to her and was incredibly pissed off, understandably.
Why can't we as people learn to accept people regardless of how they dress or how they look or what color their skin is, or who they're related to? Why is the level of our success based loosely upon the clothes we choose to wear? Why can't people have opinions that are considered "politically incorrect" or "wrong" by everyone else?
If these people stylists or whatever the fuck kind of people they are, if they're people at all, if they ever met me, based on what I saw on this show they'd have a field day- I cut off my own hair, I wear costume jewelery, I wear two different sneakers and a cheesy leopard hat, I let the polish chip off my nails and leave it that way, the only makeup i wear is eyeliner and its always black, i think tj maxx is terrific, i make my own stuff, i wear jeans with holes in them.. but that doesnt BOTHER ME. that's WHO I AM. and i LIKE IT THAT WAY. i'm myself. i try to be. You know, I bet I'd give them a heart attack with half the stuff I could come up with wearing...
good.

Well that was fun. I feel better. I talked to Dave about how stupid society is for awhile and felt better again. He's not going to SALT tomorrow. Oh well. I've decided not to dwell on him.. seriously. I'm fourteen. In perspective, who really CARES. I love perspective. It makes things seem a lot better sometimes- but only if you're willing to put that think in perspective.
Also, a note on the rant, some very harsh things were said about those people that I very strongly believe in. But that's my opinion. If you agree with it hey, rock, thats cool, but if not I'm still cool with that, because everyone's entitled. I mean I could write angry letters to TLC or whatever, but it's not going to do anything, because their opinion is that the show is quality television. It's their TV station, let them kill it. That's all I have to say. Cheers.
