Is Being Pretty Everything?

"Men are all the same these days; they only like pretty faces. Other parts of me are prettier, but they're not parts that can be seen."


Whether it was from the media, from family, or from some dumb guy, we have all at some point, and in some way, bore the brunt of society's pressure on women (and men!). People care too much about appearance and too little about the rest; it makes me sad (and pessimistic).

But you know how great it is when song lyrics take the words out of your mouth? (Hint: that's when people start posting them as Facebook statuses!) Personally, I have a soft spot for songs that challenge societal expectations, and the one I'm about to share truly hits the spot! It's got such great lyrics and a really cute melody. Not to mention, I'm really digging the style concept of the MV! That red scarf makes me think of Little Red Riding Hood. Oh, and that mime in the puffy-sleeve shirt, he is yummy yummy~   Also, if I may be so bold, she reminds me of a Korean version of Kyary...Look hard at her pointy nose, there's a resemblance I swear!

*Ahem* So without further ado, I hereby present to you my latest music addiction: "Is Being Beautiful Everything?" by The Fat Cats. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Oh oh oh ohohoh 
Oh oh oh I'm beautiful You're beautiful

Men are all the same these days
They only like pretty faces
Why is every single guy like that?
Other parts of me are prettier
But they're not parts that can be seen
And everyone says that I am ugly
I want to be in love now
I want to be obviously in love

I want an honest person
Is being pretty everything? Do you only look at the outer image?
Please stop now and look at my heart (look look look)
Am I good-for-nothing? Am I that unworthy?
That's so not cool, look at my heart (look look look)

Oh oh oh ohohoh 
Oh oh oh I'm beautiful You're beautiful

Do pretty faces feed you?
They become the same after a month
Why, why are guys like this?
"It's always the ugly ones who complain more"
Jerks who say that, please piss off
The outside and inside aren't always the same
I want to be in love now
I want to be obviously in love

I want a person who will only care for me
Is being pretty everything? Do you only look at the outer image?
Please stop now and look at my heart (look look look)
Am I good-for-nothing? Am I that unworthy?
That's so not cool, look at my heart (look look look)

I am the Fat Cat - are you curious about me?
Do you even know about the scars you gave me with your toenails?
Look at my eyes, look at my crying heart
Look at my two eyes that are waiting for your love

Are you a hotshot? Are you that much of a hotshot?
That's so not cool, look at yourself (look look look)
Is being pretty everything? Do you only look at the outer image?
Please stop now and look at my heart (look look look)

Oh oh oh ohohoh 
Oh oh oh I'm beautiful You're beautiful

Oh and I tutored the cutest boy today. He was so bubbly and giddy, just sitting next to him made me feel like I was surrounded by rainbows, haha~ 

Toodles! 


P.S. Tell me you agree about the Kyary thing!
