Photoshop Friday Presents: Not a Victoria's Secret Angel? That's OK. Cute Undies Never Hurt Anyone.

In honor of the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, I decided that if I couldn't beat 'em...I should join 'em! ;) I used to be so JEALOUS of these perfect women...tall, thin, beautiful, rich, and fierce.  But now that I'm older, I realize they didn't get where they are by accident. They work their tiny little thong-riding asses off to look the way they do, and probably don't scoff down gummy bears like me on any given week.  These girls deserve major props for keeping up with that.  I'm pretty sure all of America can learn a thing or two from them about personal dedication.  You can't just wish to look good and expect it to happen rolling out of bed - you gotta work for it. Sure, I complain every now and then and secretly hate myself at times when I see a girl who looks like she just walked off the runway, saying "Ohhh, I WISH  I looked like them!" yet, I'm not there when they're saying "No" to that yummy-looking Sex-On-The-Beach drink and I'm not there when they spend their Saturday afternoons doing hundreds of crunches, sweating up the Amazon River.  Instead, I'm at home, napping. Or watching Modern Family.
Some people think these women set unrealistic expectations for what a woman is supposed to look like.  I both agree and disagree.  But, it's our own damn fault.  We like to preach "Oh, you're perfect the way you are", yet when we see someone who it can be agreed on is beautiful, suddenly it's a witch hunt and they must have some kind of disorder for being so near-perfect.  Make up your minds, please.
Sure, who wouldn't want to look like a healthy model? Everyone.  Who wants to put in the work-out time and have a strict diet? Nobody.
I rest my case.
If you wanna look like a model, then work out like one. If you're happy where you are, EXCELLENT! :) If you're like me and somewhere in the middle...let's just not mumble profanities under our breath at those who got there sooner.
Remember: There's more then one kind of Angel you can be :) Start being nice to people. Work for what you want. Don't hate others that have what you don't. Good will come your way! Just smile, be fierce, and always remember to strut that stuff, no matter what you look like in those lacy animal-print boy-shorts. ;)
