aren't we cavalier. you can't tell me you wouldn't throw a jump on that, if just for the experience. so what if the little voice (darwin) is urging you not to- you're being tested, son. christie brinkley spread her meat for billy joel and nature's still lookin to get that debt paid. so maybe the undergrowth is outta control and creeps out of her one piece, but i hear the winterbush is making a comeback.

ankles behind her ears, pry the 432 bumper sticker off her chest with your teeth, and then PSB pump squirt & bail, she's got a crap eating grin and you got a memory. and you made somebody happy. not her. you. a month later who knows you might even start missing that tender touch- those hands look mighty soft.

I've always had this thing about looking at people and thinking what I could do to help them look better.

Inner beauty can not be quantified. It is a light in the heart. Jane Austen was said to be too ugly for book covers. Emily Dickinson was a pasty little freak who only left her father's house for late night walks.

I think about this often while listening to the superficial ramblings of nitwit whores.

Of course hearing Susan sing was the whole lesson to be learned here. Duh. Ya can't always judge a book by it's cover.

Question for pws/stunt cocks:


Would you have trouble performing for a scene with Susan Boyle? Servicing Susan would be the mark of a true professional.

There are all kinds of studies that show being good looking makes one more likely to have a higher income, be promoted, hired, feel fulfilled etc. The results are reinforced by studies of people on the opposite extreme with birth defects or burn scars (less money, less happiness etc).

Cold as this may be, it's Darwinism in action. Freud postulated the same thing over a hundred years ago. He famously said "anatomy is destiny".

The general assumption gleanable from late 20th century multimedia (television / movies / internet) is that people excelling in one domain should be equally skilled in other, often opposing domains (singing, dancing, physical beauty). I guess this is convenient for marketing purposes (until tastes change), but is ultimately hollow, and leads to decision makers settling for what are called local maximums, such as the best singer who is also half-way decent looking, rather than the best all-out singer.

Many of the acclaimed female vocalists / singers I can think of aren't (and never were) particularly physically attractive, including :
Barbara Streisand
Aretha Franklin
Diana Ross
Ella Fitzgerald
Nana Mouskouri
Tina Turner
Liza Minelli
...just off the top of my head.

Many of these women are average looking; some are downright hideous by modern standards of beauty. However, they were experts in their domain, and persevered in creating audio that transcended the limits of their surface features.

It says a lot about what the audiences have been trained to expect that listening to a singer is only considered palatable if they are also nice to look at.

On a similar note, I keep seeing clips in the news from Britney Spears 'Circus' tour, where she is widely agreed to be lip syncing and doing no actual singing, but rather is prancing around a stage for an hour and a half while mouthing in time with an iPod on speakers. The ticket buyers seem to be mostly adults and twenty-somethings, which doesn't reflect well on them as arbiters of taste, but rather on their ability to be sold a bill of goods.

A lot of people considered Janis Joplin to be unattractive. I remember reading about the cruel hoax pulled on her where a fraternity voted her "The ugliest man on campus" Nana Mouskouri was pretty cute when she was younger.
