While driving in to work today, I was listening to the talking on the radio. I rarely take time to listen to the "morning shows" simply because I find them, usually, trivial and boring. Sometimes, they make a severely negative impression upon me, which is what happened earlier today for the following reason.
The male speaker mentions how he is always a fan of Adele and her music and her looks, etc. The female speaker joins in the conversation, talking about self-esteem and how everyone should be proud of who they are and so on and so forth. The conversation then turns to Lady Gaga's newest photo shoot, where she has apparently gained some weight. Now, both speakers agreed that both of these feminine icons are sexy in their own right and then this happened:
Lady Gaga was attacked for still wearing tight clothes, and posing in her underwear, with her weight gain. Whereas, Adele was glorified for finding her sexy in her singing and standing still onstage.
People. COME ON. You are perpetuating the self-hatred by your attacking of people who are expressing themselves for what they are. Lady Gaga has always worn odd, tight clothes that show off either a lot of skin or a lot of shape. Now you want her to stop doing that? Isn't that stepping on what she does to make herself feel happy?
On the other hand, Adele is beautiful for being able to find her beauty in her passion for her music. I am not trying to detract anything from either of these ladies.
They're both themselves, regardless of circumstances, and they have my largest amount of respect for that.
