I Love Me

My last post may have sounded a tad self-negative. It's just that insecurities can control me sometimes. However, on the other hand there are things that I am not so negative about, we all have things about ourselves that we are happy with. I know a lot of people that are unhappy with themselves and they will point out all their flaws in front of me and I just want to shake them and tell them to snap out of it. I see perfection in all my family and friends and it annoys the crap out of me when they can't see it.

There is beauty in everyone, it can physical beauty (the lucky bastards) or it can be inner beauty. I know we are all told that it is inner beauty that counts by our mothers but I think that it is true. I may be biased as I am lacking in the outer beauty department - I think God looked the other way when I was created. However some of the most beautiful people to me are the ones that show it in their actions or personality. Anyone who shines from the inside has this aura about them that I respond to, I think I can read a person pretty well and I have surrounded myself by the most beautiful, kind, thoughtful people on this green earth.

It breaks my heart when my friends point out their flaws because if I thought for one second that they hated something about themselves I have a million counter arguments. Some of my friends and family may suffer from issues like depression or anxiety and they may get down on themselves a lot of the time but I want them to know that they are beautiful to me, the way they deal with things when it can be struggle is a pure example of a beautiful person. I love you if you are reading this. I hope one day you can love yourself.

Yes, we all want to be better looking and want the perfect appearance that has been shoved down our throat by society or our own demons but you don't need to. You are you, accept it because if I know you than I know for sure you don't have to change. Don't change for anyone, not even your own insecurities. You have been moulded by your experiences, your choices, your lack of your choices and they equal a complete person. Do not chase people, work hard and be you. The sad fact is that not everyone is going to love you in this world and this is ok, it is more important to love yourself before anyone else.

Colbie Caillet, Beyonce, Meghan Trainor and John Legend have just all released songs about self love that I think all self doubters should hear. I will post them below. Anyone who is down on themselves please take this in - Love yourself, without your flaws you wouldn't be you. And I love you.

 

Life is a Drag

If you are not watching this show then dear Lord you are missing out. It is beyond amazing. Think America's Next Top Model and add some guys dressed as girls. That is the simplest way of putting it, and it does not give it justice. It has everything a reality competition show needs. It has drama, comedy, performances, fights and so much more. The idea is to find Americas Next Drag Superstar.

Seven of my favourite Drag Queens are as follows:

Willam - The rebel of the bunch. The only Queen to ever be disqualified and throw up on the stage, and she did it all in one night.

Jinkx Monsoon - The latest winner. Absolutely hilarious. She introduced a new generation to Little Edie. She took everything in her stride like 'a water off a ducks back'. A deserved winner.

Raja - She was actually a make up artist on Top Model. She decided to take the stage herself. Her fashion would blow your mind - one in particular was her Native American look - My God. She went on to win the whole thing.

JuJuBe - So funny, so pretty and so talented. I loved her. She lost her series and got invited back to the Allstars, she lost again but whatever she was amazing.

Chad Michaels - She is a classic Drag act. If you want to see a professional act then look no further.

Alaska Thvnderfvck - After applying 5 times she finally got through. She was different, beautiful and once again hilarious.

Sharon Needles - My ultimate Queen. She had a twist on the Drag look - she was very goth. She didn't give a shit as she just did what she did. Also she is Alaska's boyfriend in real life.

However the King of Queen's will always be Ru Paul. She is Tyra Banks on acid. Obviously taking the piss at times, but she does it so well. This show used to be on late night on E4, but it needs a better air time. I feel a British version would be awesome - maybe Lily Savage could come out of retirement. F.Y.I the term 'Drag' is British - William Shakespeare invented it. Basically its Dressed Resembling A Girl. So lets bring it home.
