“I see music. It’s more than just what I hear. When I’m connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams, or my fantasies. And they’re all connected to the music.” – Beyoncé
Honestly the way branding and glam squads have impacted the aesthetics of teen stars is really fucking mind-boggling.
it’s kind of shocking actually now that i think about it like?? i went to high school with a million and one girls who looked like this photo and now look at like… zendaya or whoever i literally just googled ‘teen choice awards 2004’ and all the women are in sundresses and jeans compare that to ‘teen choice awards 2015’ when not a single one of them is wearing flats or any less than full makeup it’s wild (via @youbuiltcathedrals)
yes! this is something i think about a lot – i get really worried for tween girls nowadays. like, 10-15 years ago, even hilary duff and amanda bynes seemed really glamorous to me, and i can’t even imagine what it must be like now, being in middle school and having the teen stars who are marketed to you as role models being so PERFECT-looking on every level. coupled with youtube beauty bloggers, instagram, snapchat, all of these compounding factors that kind of reinforce that you can and should look perfect all the time. and then i sometimes see, like, obvious teen girls on their way home from school with false eyelashes on and it’s such a weird bummer.
the effects of pedophile culture and femininity ^^
