What Is Beautiful?
Posted: 08-11-07 00:13am

Thats right, i want to know what you think is beautiful. BUT this is a two part question, this is both in regards to another person, and in regards to anything at all, painting, writting, or the world around you.
so tell me, do you prescribe to the Media's idea of beauty, or do you have your own?

Well mostly the media version of beautiful to me is often beautiful, but it depends who it is. Like, say, Nicole Kidman she is beautiful but I don't paticularly think someone like Angelina Jolie is, even though they're both made up to perfection. I also think it's funny how the media give us these pictures of impossible beauty for us to live up to, since the images are digitally edited, enhanced, and they have perfect hair, makeup, lighting, camera angles etc. In reality people don't look like that. I like seeing these photos of celebs with no makeup on or with cellulite because it makes them real!
Renne Zellweger is beautiful too, but she looked better with a bit of weight on her.

I once saw the most beautiful sunset. I was sitting next to a lake with a friend and the sun was disappearing behind the mountains and the sky was pink and the whole thing was reflected in the lake. Just lovely. I tried to take a picture, but it didn't turn out the way it really was.
I like landscapes, and sunsets.

beautiful is when you see someone you just cant take your eyes off or when you met someone so fascinating that it doesnt matter what their physical appearance is, they are simply beautiful. Beauty much like love is capable of bringing death as well as life into this world.

It's SUBscribe. Not PREscribe.

Anyway.

I think flowers are beautiful. And fall leaves. And music.

Beauty comes from within.........the media tried to play upon "beauty" as a specific type or persona..........Being able to get up in the morning, to look up into the blue sky and see the clouds, to look around and see the trees, hear the birds and feel the wind blow.........simple beauty. Color is beautiful, any form of artistic ability shown is beautiful, be it a painting, playing the piano or violin, music in general can be beautiful......


In the public eye: Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ashley Judd are BEAUTIFUL

Classical music, Still life portraits and flower gardens I find beautiful

Beauty is entirely subjective, so I don't think there is any sense in debating or trying to come to a consensus on it.

Originality.

Creativity.

Our animal friends.

These are constants, for me, for beauty.

Oh yeah, music is beautiful too Very
Happy

When you're in the middle of playing a piece and you just want it never to end and it gets you all worked up...ah, it's just lovely. And then when you're playing/listening to some slow, sweet aria or something.

I'm sooo in the mood for a practice right now lol
