BWAHAHA Talking to my cousin can be so frustrating sometimes. But she's made me see the light about the old me when it came to guys. For the record, I've never thought of myself as totally hot or even hot enough to have guys hitting on me wherever I go. But she knows she looks good, and she will use her looks to get what she wants. On our last family trip, she said to her sister, "oh, it won't matter. We're hot!" re: not having the proper attire for the dining room on our cruise ship. Earlier, she was complaining that guys only compliment her body and want to sleep with her, but she wants a boyfriend. And now she needs sex, too. I wanted to tell her it was probably the image she was projecting, but I said nothing. I haven't seen her in action with these people. But oh dear. What a curse...to be attractive. *rolls eyes* But I've always thought that attractive people have it easier in life. |

I'm convinced being "hot" can open lots of doors, and is a big advantage with manipulating and certain type of person. But, persons of quality and depth with usually see through such a facade, and if a shallow and empty and mean person is behind all that surface attraction, interest will be lost quickly. In other words, "being hot" is a lot more important for kids than for adults.

I constantly remind myself that my cousin is younger than I am. I hope she doesn't get a rude awakening when her looks fade! But she is an interesting person with a lot of substance. It is a shame she puts her looks forward first!

Being hot and intelligent is SUCH a curse.
Poor Paris Hilton.
LMAO

Ugh! I was just reading some celeb gossip about Cameron Diaz today, and apparently she thinks there is prejudice against her and her films because she is pretty.

It's for this reason I thought the internet was such a wonderful thing in the beginning. You got to know a 'person' first. Back in the old days pics weren't posted everywhere, and unfortunately a lot of people lied about their true appearance. But I think many people 'fell' for people they might not otherwise have because they spent so much time just 'typing'.

Ah, the good ol' Internet days! When you wanted to know what the person looked like, you had to rely on snail mail! And wait for some print to come! I did have this one guy send me a photo of some totally hot guy! And then he sent me another photo that looked nothing like that first!! He admitted to what he did, but I don't remember why he did it.

Hi, Rosie.
Great post. Constant remind. Brilliant final thought.
PS. My brother is in Vancouver waiting for your cousin. What am I to tell him?

I think that I have written about this before, but here it goes again.
After losing fifty pounds I found that people do treat me differently. The girl at the gas station will punch my card for the free car wash a few extra times. People that would never even look me in the eye before will strike up a random conversation in the super market. Today the cashier at JC Penney's gave me a $10 discount. When I asked why, she said that there was a coupon in the paper that I could have turned in. Well, three years ago this would never have happened to me. Is it just coinsidence? I don't know for sure. It isn't like I'm going to make a million on this, but if I thought about it for a while maybe I could make a few thousand....
:-}

It's something I struggle with on a daily basis. The world is soooo unfair.
(I am kidding.)

I too will be the first person to admit that I'm not hot, but I would like to think I'm not ugly LOL :-) Looks will only get you so far and although they can make some things easier, they aren't everything. I would tell your cousin to have a backup plan for when gravity sets in and her looks start to diminish with age LOL

I'm not buying that attractive people and easier life thing. Sure, for some things they might get away with it but it can't be the same feeling as getting something because you DESERVE it or WORKED for it. That's just me though and you know what I look like.

You can tell him my cousin is on the other side of Canada in all her hotness!

I think it would kill her if I told my cousin she'd better find a backup when her looks go!

I totally agree about the feeling when you get something after you work for it or deserve it! Years ago, I watched this thing on 20/20 where they did experiments...people needing help on the side of the road or applying for a job. They used people facing the exact same situation but one was made to look extra ugly and the other, attractive (using makeup). And the more attractive people had better luck in all situations.
