Beauty & the beast
A few weeks ago a new show aired on Dutch TV that I've been following, but since it's in Dutch I didn't mention it here on my blog. That was untill I found that it had been copied from a show from Britain, and here it is. Adam Pearson came up with the idea and featured in the first episode of the show because todays image is all about being perfect instead of being happy with who you are.
Beauty & the beast deals with prejudices and is a wake-up call for the modern society. The concept is simple: put together an obsessed beautycosmetics&surgery-addict with a disfigured person and let them learn from each other. The concept at first stroke me as cruel and very unusual, but I found it to be very intrigueing and full of lifes lessons.

When comparing myself to these girls featured on the show I can safely say that I'm very different from them... I enjoy using make-up and likewise products but I don't mind hopping around the house or going to the store without any make-up on. I'm not a fan of unneccesary surgery because of the risks involved. Being happy with yourself and the way you look is a big part of happiness in life... and that's what this show really is about.

Vind dit best interessant. Ik ga de Nederlandse aflevering ook bekijken. Uiteindelijk komt het erop neer dat iedereen, ook de mensen die niet dagelijks met beauty bezig zijn, wel eens bevooroordeeld zijn hè.
Ik vind de dames uit deze reeks zelf ook wel wat overdreven. Je moet ook jezelf durven zijn zonder make-up, het is niet zo dat make-up je persoonlijkheid bepaalt.
Het zijn 6 afleveringen en zeker de moeite! Helemaal juist, iedereen heeft vooroordelen, zo zit de maatschappij nu eenmaal in elkaar he.
Als ze niet overdreven waren, zouden ze niet in het programma zitten hihi. Ik kan me al voorstellen welke vragen je bij een pre-screening zou krijgen... Zelf ken ik niemand die zo is, gelukkig maar!
Ik denk dat een foto van je 'stash' minstens een kamer in beslag moet nemen :D
Lijkt me best eens interessant om zien, maar zo extreem zijn wij gelukkig nog niet.
Er ligt wel een enorm grote druk op 'mooi zijn' in de huidige samenleven... spijtig ergens dat mensen zo drastisch moeten reageren om hieraan te voldoen (volgens hun)
Haha, ja waarschijnlijk. Dan weet je toch niet meer wat je hebt? Dat is pas zonde!!
Ik vind het ook jammer en bizar dat mensen zo ver gaan en amper er bij stilstaan.
