Bird watching.

I LOVE Colin's Mum. She's Boss. And she has a beautiful garden full of birds and bees. Ornithology aside (learned a lot from your Mum, didn't you Col.....?!),

"False boobs, false nails, false teeth...." is her description of Liverpudlian lasses.

And it's not far off to be honest. I met some amazing people this weekend and must state for the record that they do not live up to this generalisation but, Jesus Christ, I have never seen anything like the girls in Merseyside... Except on the Only Way is Essex. Ok, I get the whole 'dolled-up' thing, just, but on a deeper level, what the fuck? It's utterly insane. Plastic surgery is becoming the norm and I, for one, am rather freaked out. I don't even understand why women cake their faces in make-up. Can't we just learn to look inward, get to know ourselves and be cool with who we are? It doesn't matter what you look like. It really doesn't. There are things in this world that we should care about and try to change. The colour of our hair, eyes, or skin doesn't really deserve that attention. It won't make your life better if you inflate your breasts and your ego. It will lead to deeper insecurities. And it'll make you act like a dickhead. Seriously, the next time you find yourself applying fake tan, or even a little bit of mascara, (you too boys.....!) at least think about what you're doing and why you're doing it. Just notice it. It's all very good and well putting on a mask, but who is it that you're hiding from.....?
Peace and Love.
