Skin Care News

This blooger hates the idea that “babies prefer pretty people” and “ugly children get neglected”.

But the idea of beauty is different in every culture. So when they parade a long stream of “pretty” and “ugly” people past a group of babies and guage their reaction, who are the babies? Who are the people? As I grow older, and plastic surgery gets progressively more affordable, I spend much of my time in the movie theatre looking through my fingers at the scary, scary actors on the screen, with gigantic breasts and cartoon-parody swollen lips and skin stretched so thinly so that light reflects off of it like it’s molded plastic (which of course, it often is). Were these the people the babies reacted favorably to? Here’s my guess: the babies reacted favorably because the other people in the room reacted favorably. I mean, jesus, when I went wandering around Toronto with my friend Mia, it was like an episode of National Geographic. Men and women fell all over themselves getting close to her, talking to her, wanting her attention. Of course a baby would pick up on that kind of positive atmosphere. To imply that beauty is a trait that a baby knows from birth is patently absurd.
