another excellent topic, Natasha
I love what you say about have a beautiful psychology. As one goes
"out-of-body" by going on line, all that is visible (other than a typeface)
is one's psyche. Sure we can go to a website, look at a picture, and
sometimes the beauty inside is reflected outside. But. Too many times ugly
people have beautiful skins, and they show their "true colors" on a list
forum or in posts... or a person who seems frumpish and drab in person may
have Beautiful Emotions and lovely thoughts, images...words flowing as an
online entity...
this "inside out" approach is what first fascinated me about meeting people
thru the net.
As one who is vividly enthusiastic about beauty, I think one of the things
you might explore is pushing the envelope of *what* we accept as beauty. As
you know, I believe advertising has much to do with what we commonly eat -
visually as well as actual fuel nourishment. With your background and
knowledge of aesthetics and ads, and your cool art series about body
enhancement, what can you see being needed...
... as the new beauty alarms, repels, attracts, ...look, if people start to
modify... leopard skins, diamond nails, fish scales, translucent eyeballs,
extra long limbs, extreme thickness of muscles, etc. Some people won't know
how to react, will they?
Things that NOW look freakish, because they'd be impossible naturally.
Will there be prejudice against mods? I think so.. unless....
People will accept it ... surely they need to be re-educated... will it be
cool? Wil it be a trend? um...sure...if it's presented well, and backed by
sponsorship and ads?
public awareness? endorsments? what....
