beauty

i just finished watching larry king with guest stevie wonder and the victoria's secret annual fashion show.

let's start with larry and stevie. first, larry king freakin old! but really, i wanna talk about stevie. he is just amazing. he was talking about what he thinks things look like, and i've never thought about it before, but what on earth would it be like to have to imagine what every single thing in the world looks like. stevie went blind not long after he was born because he was a premie. premies born have sensitive eyes, and the oxygen in his incubator was no help. they have since modified the technology, so not as many premies go blind, but blind since birth. having no idea what a piano looks like, but play it every day. make a living off of it. be married for years and not know what your wife looks like. have children and not know what they look like. i mean, you could feel it/them and decide for yourself what it looks like. and it would be one thing if you went blind after having the ability to see for a while. but having no preconception at all as to what anything in the world looks like. crazy. but, i guess you have no choice if that's what you have to live with. but, stevie is an inspiration. he found what he was good at. what he was awesome at and builds onto it everyday. i mean, he was sitting at larry king's interview desk with a keyboard in front of him and would just start playing random things at random time. to have the ability to do that, blind or not, is a amazing. to put your life experiences into songs (and very good songs at that) is quite the gift.

another gift: victoria's secret models' legs. dayum. you can't just get legs like those. those are gifts. ok, so i don't think victoria's secret models are very pretty. heidi. beautiful. alessandra. bombshell. miranda. hottie with a body. other than that...i don't think the others are very pretty. yeah, their bodies are slammin'. but that's easy. anyone could make their body look good (not tall...but good). what happened to hiring models that looked like heidi and tyra? they weren't stick thin. and they had one of a kind looks. these new girls, all i see are legs and blonde. who does victoria's secret think they're selling to? guys? no, you're selling to girls. so, putting a bra on a 5'10" stick isn't going to sell me. put it on a beautiful person like heidi klum, and i'm more likely to buy it. ohhh, something else you can do. lower your prices!
