Don't get it twisted. I am a cock slinging, punany crushing, straight male. So when I tell you that I came across this picture and couldn't help but say to myself, "M.J. was a good looking man," there is nothing "gay" about it. But for real, look at him then and look at him now. What the hell did M.J. see wrong with himself? That was a good looking brotha with style, presence, and an aura that tells you he could command a room.
It's difficult to look at that picture and not wonder how Hollywood distorts the definition of beauty. Is Hollywood's definition of beauty and what sells, the same thing that makes us buy? I'd buy a magazine with Gabrielle Union on the cover before buying one with Megan Fox. Look at women in Hollywood who go on these extreme diets like Jenna Jameson, Nicole Ritchie, and the Olsen Twins. In their pursuit of beauty they ultimately fail. M.J. certainly failed.

MJ scares me now. The face that he has created is the stuff that nightmares are made of.
Hollywood is no definition of beauty as far as I am concerned. People should celebrate looking the way they are supposed to rather than striving to look the way people say they ought to.

This man had nothing to change. Had a major crush on him the majority of my pre-teen/early teen years. Man, he was fine. I just wonder how much better it would have gotten with age???
You just never know what goes on behind closed doors I guess! We all have insecurities. The difference between Micheal and the rest of us is that back then he had the money to change what he didn't like. I was watching a documentary about Marilyn Monroe the other day. For all her beautiful curves and sexiness she had body images issues too. Who would have thought that a woman that was adored by sooooo many, many men who have body image issues?
Nowadays since plastic surgery is so accessible to the average person, everybody can get something done. Do you watch Dr. 90210? A lot of the people that go on there look just fine. But I guess fine isn't good enough when you can be "perfect"!
I think most people that go to the extremes have severe body dismorphic disorder. I did a paper on it and in short, it is when you have a distorted view of yourself. A lot of people with eating disorders (most with anorexia and bulmia look in the mirror and see what to them is an obese person, although they may be of normal weight) and most who get repeated plastic surgery have it. When they look in the mirror, they see something different. I think that plastic surgeons should not be able to give surgery to patients like that instead of using them as a bank ( bc these patients will be repeated patients bc the problem is mental and can not be fixed with surgery, if they fix one thing, they will find something else wrong). There are some people who are trying to make it a requirement for doctors to be able to recognize patients with that have severe bdd and to take another action instead of surgery (psychiatric help). I feel sorry for people like MJ that have the disorder and don't seek proper help. We are not talking about your person who wants to take a hump out of their nose and ops for a rhinoplasty or lipo, but we are talking about people that have repeated surgeries to drastically change their facial features. Hollywood doesn't have a definition of beauty bc in the dictionary it is defined as The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality. There is no originality when everyone is trying to look the same. We are humans, we are made to look differently, that's what makes each person unique. The world would be a boring place if we all looked the same...
