Reality Show Turned Circus.

I don’t mean to be mean but that’s all I can be when I see something like this. I’m not saying she looks disgusting because I wanna put her down. But I’m also not gonna say she looks great because SHE DOESN’T! This is not even in the same zip code as “She looks okay.” She looks anything but okay.
People say she’s just trying to express herself.  Say what?

If you really want to “express yourself”, you’re not supposed to end up looking like a troll or a demon doll rejected from the factory, or in this case, The Bride Of Chuckie. You’re not supposed to look like shit!!!
I’ve nothing against trying to be different, getting a new look, expressing yourself, and all those cliches . But seriously, if you’re going to “express yourself” you will still have to think if you’re doing it right. Self-expression doesn’t have to mean completely changing the way you dress and how you do your hair. Self-expression isn’t just a physical thing.

If it doesn’t work for you, why force it? If it’s getting too much negative attention then maybe it’s time you think it out - maybe there’s something wrong, maybe its not really working, maybe you really are trying too hard.

You can go ahead saying “I don’t give a shit what people think I freakin love my new look” but if you’re a celebrity or a public figure, you are put under a microscope for the rest of the world to see and you’re going to get criticized and judged for everything you do.

You can’t say you still don’t care. When all you hear everyday are people’s rude comments about your fat face, your disgusting taste in fashion, your horrible hairstyle, and other things about you they don’t really know about, it will get on your nerves one way or another. Who gets hurt at the end of the day? Not them. It’s you and your self-esteem damaged.

I’m not trying to say we have to always consider what society thinks of the way we express ourselves. Okay, fine, fuck what they all think! But the point is, we are expressing ourselves because we want the world to see who we really are, what we’re all about, and all the awesome things we are capable of. If done right, self-expression would never end up in humiliation and scrutiny like this. There are so many other ways you can be yourself without looking horrible and stupid and creepy - unless that’s exactly the message you are trying to send.

A FRIENDLY ADVICE: Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Express yourself in a way that will make you feel comfortable, confident, and unique. There is no need to overdo it. It’s actually pretty easy if it comes naturally.
