“If Botticelli were still alive, he’d be working for Vogue.”
– Peter Ustinov
Dear Fairy Who Bestows Genetic Gifts:
I’ve got curves. I’ve got pale skin (in the lovely way, not the sickly way). I’ve got dark hair. I look fantastic in red. Would it have been to much trouble to have let me turn out a little bit more like this:
A while back, J. and I got a bunch of free subscriptions to magazines. He gets a golf magazine and The Economist, we share The Atlantic, and I got Vogue. The Bible.
I love it. I swallow it whole. And, occasionally, it makes me sick. With envy. See above.

Oh, it’s mostly Photoshop anyway….:-)
Probably…and yet my teeth still grind.
I think it’s important to try and better oneself daily and if you find inspiration to do so from Vouge then awesome for you (I find mine from GQ).
But, I always have to remind myself of two interconnected ideas 1) “no one is that beautiful” and 2) it’s mostly Photoshop anyway (nod to broadsideblog).
