Sexy imperfectie?

Ik was van plan een hele column te schrijven over het schoonheidsideaal, invloed van media op (jonge) vrouwen en dat ik vrouwen die gewoon zichzelf blijven en down to earth zijn veel toffer vind.

Maar toen kwam ik dit nummer weer na een lange tijd tegen.. de lyrics komen min of meer overeen met wat ik kwijt wilde.

Bilal Salaam - So What



Hey, I see you babe,
I can't imagine why you wanna change,
Your lips they aren't as thin as girls on tv,
Your hair is not so long and straight it's kinky,
but so what, girl so what,
Your eyes are not the same color as hers are,
but that don't mean that you can't see that you're a star,
girl so what, you know what

Don't change it, I love your style,
don't change it, I love your smile,
don't change it, I love your eyes,
don't change it, I love your size

Your figure isn't like a supermodels,
or curvy like a Coca Cola bottle,
but so what, you know what,

Don't change it, I love your lips,
don't change 'em, I love your hips,
don't change it, the way you walk,
don't change it, the way you talk

Your clothes don't fit your formal type it's slender,
in fact that kind of dress don't it offend ya?
You know what, you know what,
your eyes are not the same color as hers are,
but that don't mean that you can't see that you're a star
Girl so what, you know what

Don't change it, I love your style,
Don't change it, I love your smile,
Don't change it, I love your eyes,
Don't change it, I love your size
Don't change it, I love your lips,
don't change 'em, I love your hips,
don't change 'em, the way you walk
don't change it, the way you talk

So what, you know what
