Quiet Color

by jacqueline nusz

It appears that in a metropolitan city such as Miami I can stand aside and watch the attitude that sweeps my city, the same attitude that sweeps most metropolitan cities, the sweeping epidemic of self-inflated silicone fashionistas taking over the door at most bars. Now it’s not the choice of augmentation that boils my blood but rather the attitude that some of these women acquire after “improvement” surgery. I’m pretty sure that updating your myspace/facebook default picture with you in a bra and your “great new assets” exposed or cutting a line at a local bar with your breasts directing traffic is only going to give you superficial satisfaction for a split minute. To everyone else you appear juvenile and distasteful.

DECEPTION BY BLACKALICIOUS:

MIAMI BY DATABASE FEAT. BONDE DO ROLE:

Perhaps I should take a different stance and instead of being slightly irritated I should feel empathy for these women. Their journey has led them to believe that only their physical assets can be appreciated. Unfortunately these women never progressed through the phase that initially forced them to seek universal approval and through their attitude create a bit of a problem for the rest of us girls. If you are prancing around like a hooker in a dress so short and tight you can’t wear underwear— you are setting precedence for other men to show us the same respect they show you, none. It is through this lack of self-respect that all women become categorized in the same class and a schema is set. A tautology is created: men classify women as cheap, women who feel they aren’t cheap defend themselves by verbally attacking the women they classify as cheap, women who classify themselves as cheap accept the stance and justify their indifference by continuing to act cheap, and thus we continue on and on.

It’s time we demonstrate through class and education everything that a woman should represent and elicit. It’s time we start raising the bar for our gender.
