ive been talking with friends alot about general vanity in the 21st century, as opposed to other eras (and also other countries and cultures).
and then, i find myself having to post alot today about the subject.
so. I got heated and when nobody was around to argue with, i wrote it down. and here is how it went just now.

i dont wear tight clothes, so suddenly im fat
but everybody knows i wear size fives for that
not everything is how it appears
the greatest of illusions are merely pent up fear
vanity is fair, vanity fair
fair skin blue eyes and long bonde hair
is this the equivilent of what we deem benevolent
suddenly irrelevant
are the features that make it evident
..we are different you and me
what is perception, is not what we see
lack of money, lack of clothes
lack of fashion, thats how it goes
what remains from paychecks let go, go to rainbow,
for the same clothes every dame in the game owns
to look good and hold up to false idols
(standards from blander girls than you or I, though)
bleach-blonde temptresses up in the magazines
buffed up and cleaned up in pages in between Seventeen
only to be mimicked mocked and wholly modeled after
did anybody think what ever happened to the laughter
twisted up in pasted up situations and faces
models posing false emotions in fake set-ups and places
the mind is sacred if you have it
true beauty cannot be "enhanced"
in any other way but development
and furthering your chance
vanity is fair, vanity fair
fair skin blue eyes and long bonde hair
is this the equivilent of what we deem benevolent
suddenly irrelevant
are the features that make it evident
..we are different you and me
what is perception, is not what we see
Dont you ever try to call me out my name
or try to "put me in my place"
try to make me feel like shit
or want to hide my face
any attempts are futile wastes
expendatures of your breath
cause ive seen thru much worse than what you have for me
I can live up to your childish tests
tell me that you know me, or how i live or who i am'
and i will show you one bonefide dummy
one crummy bum who must love me'
to spend thier days researching mindy kivorkian.
