Beauty Trend or Freak Show?

All freaks form a line, next stop for the circus is in Asia. So, last night i overheard a story about there being a new beauty trend. Now i didn't pay much attention to this because honestly there is always some new trend and quick fix beauty tip to play into everyone's insecurities. Whatever happened to just growing old and taking pride in the way you look, feeling good for your age and just trying to be healthy? Instead there is always some new way to modify our bodies and turn back the hands of time. One thing i know for certain in life is that you are born, your grow old (GOD willing) and then you die.

This story however takes it to a whole new level. Now i was just surfing online only to see the headline "Latest Bizarre Beauty Trend: The Bagel Forehead?" What the HELL is a Bagel Forehead you ask? Some idiots in Asia are injecting 400cc of Saline into their foreheads so that they can have the shape of a Bagel....WTF? This was reported by the National Geographic Taboo and here is the kicker. The reason why they are doing this and i quote "Just for Fun" (blank stare).

Seriously now, if there is a day i tell you that i want to have a big bulge on my forehead with the impression of a hole so that i can have a bagel head, please admit me to a psych ward. Its crazy how some people strive so hard to be unique that they manage to convince themselves that doing these things does just that. What went wrong?

All i have to say about that is, Congratulations you over achievers, you have successfully become a freak show. Maybe this is yet again ignorance on my part but if you cant have a sensible reason for doing something then you don't have to and frankly it just doesn't make sense. Until next time....
