There isn't anything more important than being a pretty girl.  I was taught at an early age that I had to always look my best.  Even when I wasn't feeling well, or I wasn't in the mood, I had to look my best.

My mother taught me that being pretty is a gift that is given to a lucky few.  She also said the gift came with a price.  Pretty people have to share their beauty with the world.  They can't keep it to themselves, or they will lose that beauty.

Those lessons were hard to understand when I was a child.  I didn't think the way she did, at first.  I saw everyone pretty much the same.  I didn't think to break them down and judge them on their individual parts.

But, as I grew older, I came to realize that there are major differences in each and everyone of us.  Some of us are pretty, and some of us are, or lack of a better word, ugly.

Some of us have been blessed with great skin, great bodies, and beautiful faces.  We are aesthetically beautiful.  Some of us are so beautiful that we radiate a aura that has a positive affect on those around us.  Beauty can make the world a better place.

Everyone has heard the saying, "Beauty is only skin deep."  The way most people say it, it comes off as a negative.  But really, that's as far as we see.  We aren't Superman, with his X-ray vision.  All we see is skin deep.  And, if you could see beyond the skin surface you would see things that aren't very beautiful.

My mother taught me these things, and I've come to hold them dear to my heart.  I do think that there isn't anything more important than being a pretty girl.  Pretty girls make the world a whole lot nicer.  There is a saying of a face that launched a thousand ships.  There's a reason why they don't say the mug that launched a thousand ships.  That's because that face was a beautiful face.

It's clear that our society doesn't place enough emphasis on being beautiful.  Those who aren't beautiful are now being accepted for their inferiority, their affliction of ugliness.  I don't think that's right.  If we start accepting those that are ugly as being OK, then we have lost a lot of what makes us different from the animals.  We will have lost that unique treasure that humans have, beauty.  Beauty, and the ability to distinguish it from the undesirable is out biggest gift.

Who says it's a shame to be a sell out?  Selling out is the American way.  I mean, if you were given the chance to become rich and famous, without having any talent at all, wouldn't you?  Not all of us can be lucky enough to have been born with talent, of any kind.  Talent, real talent, is rare.  Genius talent, well, is super rare.  So, what chance do the untalented of the world have to make it?  Exactly, by selling out.  Selling out affords you the ability to become rich and famous, without having any talent.

I'm going to sell out, as soon as someone gives me the cash to sell my soul.  I don't have any real talent, just a desire to be famous.  I don't really care why people know me, just as long as I'm known.  Being famous allows me to do things that common people can't do.  Isn't that worth selling out?

And why is selling out considered bad anyway?  What, doesn't everyone want to better their life?  Selling out one's integrity is so easy.

Say you want to be a great singer.  Your good, but not so great that you can't make it.  But, say your a girl singer with huge tits?  Who is to say that showing those big tits to get people to buy your album is a bad thing?  Not me.  Or, your songs aren't that great, but you can shake your ass in a video.  Why does showing your ass automatically mean that the song is bad?  I think it makes a bad song good.

Say you want to be the next big thing in sports.  You actually have talent, but your stuck in college playing for no money.  Why shouldn't you take money from school boosters in order to better your life now?  Is that really selling out, if people are willing to break the law to give you money, cars and/or drugs?  I say no.  Why wait until your knees are busted before you make a few dollars on the side?  It doesn't matter that your now sold lock stock and barrel to these boosters, they'll always look out for your best interest.

Say your a writer.  You want to write the next great novel, but no one wants to read about that shit.  Why not just write about something everyone likes, love.  Why not be predictable in your stories?  Doesn't the public like predictable?  I don't think anyone out there reading a book wants surprises.  They want what's familiar, not something new.  Not a new point of view, but a story they know with fond familiarity.
