Ugly Betty or Witty Paris?

"And the award for the Best Actress goes to..(Drum rolls)....UGLY BETTY"

    It wasn't a surprise, yet I wasn't really excited, as I was waiting to see the bitchy Eva Longoria aka Gabriella from the Desperate Housewives to walk on the stage and receive this honour. As the camera moved across the hall of well dressed people, I scanned for the girl with soda- water spectacles in her oversized sweater to come and receive the award. But in stead, comes this far- from- ugly girl, resplendent in floor sweeping mid-night blue gown, gasping with happiness and with pride, her thick lashed eyes twinkling with delight.

    Sometimes I wonder, who decides the parameters for Ugly and beautiful. I don't Think its zero (0) for ugly and (10) for prettiness; it is more like matrix, with various factors knitted together. Whatever is gorgeous for me may not necessarily be on your hot list. It is more about the perception and perception differs. But again perception is relative and subjective. If beauty is real it is something on your face, or something subtle under the skin... yes I am hinting at the far stretched Myth of the inner beauty, Then tell me if that is what matters, then why do we say that our first impression is the last one? And when we want to create the great first impression, why do we dress so carefully?

    So should we become a beauty obsessed culture? And is being 'WOW'! What really counts? Come-on life is more than a beauty pageant. And we all know that beauty pageants are not just about all the choreographed poses, photogenic faces and being 6 feet tall. Being smart, witty, sharp and intelligent not geeky but intelligent is what makes a complete beauty pageant package.
   
     How do you make that connection, gain that trust, by proving yourself through your spirit and confidence. And here is where your brain comes in action.
  
     All successful people are beautiful people... because they hav the money which they very smartly invest in preserving or getting their beauty. But the money which they make is by using their brains. THINK!!

     Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, but the beholder will notice you if you are enough attractive and being the attention magnet, being articulate, on the toes, sharp as knife, a good communicator, warm, generous, sensitive and well-informed, without being dumb, passive, rigid, hard as rock, and completely judgmental; Ironically all these beauty enhancing traits originate from , Ironically one of the most unsightly organs of the human body: The BRAIN!
