this stuff always depresses me
she has such an ugly, bulbous face, and I think she knows it; at least, she understands her inadequacy in a subliminal way whenever she is confronted with the pictures of someone like Eva Green who embodies the element of sleek, feminine Sex that she herself never will; yet she has slept with enough men that she deludes herself into thinking that she really must be some Hellenic goddess who represents the divine Female and is "spiritually" on a higher level than the mundane men who are really in her sexual-market bracket
it's annoying because she seeks to deface the criteria of beauty so that she will be allowed admittance into the upper echelons of it (as evidence of these gaudy pseudo-modeling pics that only a girl only takes when she thinks she is attractive enough to really be a fashion or sex symbol, but has merely been frustrated by unfortunate circumstances from being so ('Karly Kloss, the only difference between you and I is that you were born in more fortuitous circumstances', her insecure ego attempts to bargain)); and she uses, as justification, all of the desperate and acquiescing men who have pumped-and-dumped her. She thinks that the few dozen of sexual conquests (true, nothing compare to Becky's number, but still, impress in some respect--I mean, could Rachel even go to a club and find not one, but THREE boys who would be willing to lick her anus?) which she mistakenly attributes to her own aesthetic superiority proves she must genuinely be a participant in that great Principle of Beauty. Yet she suspects, and is right in thinking, that really, it was not her aesthetic triumph that led to those men's penises becoming erect and plunging into her ever-opening cunt, but rather, the libidinal weakness of the male counterparts that facilitated the necessary sexual desire.
so in protest, in an attempt to prove that she is actually attractive and that Beauty ought to be measured by her, she has these cliche photoshoots with "creative nudity" and "expressive sensuality", and posts them online to the hordes of thirsty follows who she receives comfort in knowing that most (if not all, let's be real) will jerk off to her, thereby further justifying the idea that she is of the elite of sexually attractive women (and a creative one at that!)
yet all she achieves is a mockery of Aesthetics and Beauty. And her whole miserable little charade can be overthrown by one candid snapshot of some country-born child in a swing that her father pushes, caught in the joyful smile that accentuates the true and unforced glory of natural Feminine beauty. And so she will come to hate such little girls, and such innocence wherein beauty truly lies.
and yet she will know an overflow of sexual intimacy while I shall die a virgin.
telle est la vie.

Is this prose? I never understood why i have such a loathing of prose; i detest it. I dont think i hate poetry in of itself either. I remember looking at some portry like : "Out of the Blue" by simon armitage and The yellow palm or even The Charge of the Light Brigade. Is this just because im too stupid to understand the advanced prose or just a symptom of gold tism?
