No complaint about Masami here, but.. Ultimate Top of Beauty? What a horrible title.
I get really tired of the Japanese and American needs to rank everyone. (Top Model, Hottest New Star, Most Influential People). I have enough problem with ranking people based on objective standard (tallest, richest, largest earlobes). When beauty, intelligence, success, happiness are such personal and subjective things, it frustrates me to no end that huge, monolithic advertising companies can tell us what they are and that everyone then compares you to those standards.
I can bet that I'm not the only guy here who finds many types of woman (or guys for that matter) beautiful or very attractive who fall well outside of the norm and hate when those beautiful people feel they have to conform to some social standard.
I hate to buy into the celebrity world, but I think one person who strikes me most as having suffered in this is Scarlett Johanssen. She became a generic blonde fashion model after being so amazingly beautiful in Lost in Translation (and just about everyone I know agrees with me on this one). She was plain, she was not skinny as a rail, but she was herself and it was hot. Now I have to say I don't care about her at all - she's just as generic as they come.
Ugh.. "fashion" frustrates me sometimes. I still love to watch Ugly Betty though.. I actually mean fashion in the abstract - social trends influence opinion. I'm an anthropologist at heart so I can't get mad at people for employing their own system of stratification and differentiation for social group cohesion/exclusion and business at an intellectual level, but at a personal level, it makes me angry that it creates so much unhappiness in our society. _________________
