      Ugly People

   
  Okay…..let me do the DISCLAIMER first;

  
      All God’s children are beautiful. Ugly is no more than a state of mind and each of us, in our own unique way, are both beautiful and visually obscene. This blog is meant to pay homage to their affliction, bless their hearts, and not to ridicule it …….Charlie

      That said, let’s get on to ugly. You will nod your head, knowingly, to everything I’m about to say, but, in most cases, will not openly verbalize your own conclusions and observations concerning the Beauty Challenged of this world. We are so induced into not seeing the flaws of nature that, along with hugging trees, we freely hug rhino faced individuals that just 500 years ago would have been burned at the stake while handsome people watched and cheered!

      People can’t help being ugly, no more than they can help being liberals…..it’s a flaw in nature, and it’s not like the flu where a vaccine or a condom will prevent it. For centuries, we have relied on convents and monasteries to quarantine the mishaps of nature and alcohol has also been influential. Being ugly is not a crime, but being ugly in public should be. Why do you think 16 billion dollars a year is spent on makeup in this country alone? Plastic surgery accounts for 14 billion, but, that too often leads to the ’Jackson Syndrome’ of freak-ism. It’s no small wonder that Hollywood has a booming franchise of ‘zombie’ movies, considering the number of naturals walking around being auditioned, bless their hearts.

      Gross-Harmony.com brings thousands of appearance challenged people together to share photo-shopped pics and ambiguities about their lives. For a small fee, the site will help bring together couples for ’Bag Head’ parties and darkroom dinners. Once a year they sponsor a 2 day Halloween cruise and then, in December, they hold an event called the Elfin and Troll regalia . The site offers a number of services such as an on line beautician specializing in eyebrow grooming and bang extensions. Available also, is advice on tattoo removals, piecing recovery,  cold sore treatment and a 24 hour suicide hotline.

      One last comment on ugliosity. This has nothing to do with how much we love them. Two of my kids were born with this condition and we loved them as much as we loved the ones we kept. People are still people with hopes, dreams, careers and loves. It’s always been said, “It makes no difference how you look on the outside…..it’s how you look on the inside” ….what the hell does that mean!!!!
