"I love watching old rock and roll movies--I don't have a TV, so it helps if it comes on DVD, or I can find it online. I feel like most new TV is horrible and pointless, and just turns your mind into some sort of jelly mush, actually I think that's true of most anything you are suppose to do as a "normal person" who has to squish down to fit the mainstream guidelines so you don't feel like a freak. I don't give a shit about celebrities, or what they wore to their premieres or award shows (because they get that stuff for free to make the huddled masses desire it), I don't like being told what to wear, or how to look, I don't give a fuck about the standards of beauty or aging for women because they're just there to make us feel less than human, and take our power away, and our focus off of what is really important and make us fear everything from birthdays to anti-aging remedies--and it is complete bullshit, and you all know it. I don't buy magazines for the most part, most are in place to make everyone feel bad about themselves anyway--and everything is airbrushed and completely fake anyway, you'll never see the real people, so why bother? Any time I've been in a magazine, you better believe it was airbrushed--nobody looks like that in person; we all have pores, zits, wrinkles, bags under our eyes in the morning, flab, and it's fantastic. I'd much rather read a blog, or anything that is D.I.Y. because at least it is closer to being real. Their ridiculous standards will never effect me because I don't gear down to my lowest common denominator to play that game, I don't need to not eat when I'm hungry because I'm scared about gaining weight, I don't count calories, drink or eat all those poisonous low-calorie foods, and I've never owned a scale. I'm in shape because I don't do any of those things, nor do I obsess about it, because I know whatever my mind thinks, my life will become--and the same goes for your body. When you aren't trying to gain or loose weight all the time, your body will find it's perfect balance for it's frame. I don't care what society thinks I should be doing, or how I should live, or what a person should be doing at age 18, 21, 25, 30, 40, 50...there is no clock in my life, or my mind, and you really are as old as you feel. Nothing anybody says will make me lesser or greater. I'm on my own journey here. I don't need the nightly news to tell me what is important, Dr. Phil's opinion, or anyone else's for that matter. Actually, if I hear the masses telling me I should be doing something, it's a sure sign to run in the other direction." Krystal Simpson of www.whatisrealityanyway.com
Finally somebody within the fashion industry says something intelligent, I was starting to lose faith.
