Beauty Is The First Test


I saw this today, it reminded me of the statement 'Beauty = Power?'....

This message made me think of how cruel modern day society can be, beauty is no longer something special it is an expectation. In a world filled with celebrity image and a lack of individualism how can anyone expect to succeed without beauty?
(Of course Blondie avoids any confrontations or failure by being beautiful and drawing attention to the fact that she holds a desirable image.)

I think this idea of beauty being something that we take for granted is explored in Blondie slightly. It is arguable that if beauty is normal then why do people think she is so special, but I feel in the context of politics it is a new and exciting idea that people are drawn in by.

Further questions relating to Blondie:

What is Blondie's motive, is she trying to prove a point that you can't trust beauty?

Can we ever stop judging in relation to beauty and image. Can identity ever be examined?
