I watched the Golden Globes last night. No comments on who won or who wore what, but I think this will be the last awards show I view. I am so tired of seeing emaciated people (especially women) celebrated and being told this is our standard of beauty. I cant imagine what parents of teenagers and younger are going through right now trying to instill a positive body image. What is wrong with this society.
Thanks for the opportunity to rant.

Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie looked like skeletons!
Both ugly as sin. How anyone can call those fake people beautiful is beyond me

I don't need to see anyone slap themselves on the back.
