This wonderful piece of work right here is someone I hoped I would never actually see naked - well, almost naked, but as you, too, can observe, there's WAY too little left to the imagination. So I'm calling this naked - and as I was saying, I really never in my life felt less like looking at someone who's as deeply (I was going to say disgusting, but since that's a rather strong word, we'll just go with) "unpleasant looking" as Amanda Lepore attending Marc Jacobs' Arabian Nights themed Christmas party in New York the day before. Has Halloween come late for her? Is this some sort of devious plot aimed to burn holes into our retinas and blind us all, so that an extraterrestrial civilization can then get hold of our darling little blue planet? I don't know, but I sure smell a rat here...
Where do I begin? First of all, I had no idea women who used to be man can have skinny and relatively normal arms but horrible legs. And then, I remembered what my granny used to say about not putting on display what you know will make other blush when they look at you. Well, if I were Amanda I'd definitely stuff those thighs out of sight, wear three
pair of pants one on top of the other and never, ever come out in public wearing just a bikini. I mean, it's enough having to keep myself from fainting while looking at her deformed body and fake boobs that look like they're some weird, mutating alien organ, but the legs covered in cellulite are a completely different issue. I absolutely can't find any reason for this pointless display, and I'm not sure there is such a reason anywhere in this universe. Maybe in a parallel one.
And then I have to say, I just absolutely adore the make-up. Those wonderfully plumped-up lips, the fine features, the hair, the defiant gaze into the distance - they're all just so classy and refined I can hardly find the words to express my appreciation of them. Really. In the end, your body is what you make of it - but shouldn't we all be keen to make the most of our strong points and hide the things we know are not so great-looking? We all have body issues - but this woman (if I may call her that) is definitely a big "DON'T" written across the words of those who defend aesthetics and the natural harmony of the human body. And I'm not kidding this time. Like, at all.
