Comments on: Is it Possible for Cellulite To Be Beautiful? http://www.celluliteinvestigation.com/2009/12/blog-post.html Natural Remedies to Reduce Cellulite, from Dry Skin Brushing and Coffee to Anti Cellulite Diets Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:41:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Melissa @ Cellulite Investigation http://www.celluliteinvestigation.com/2009/12/blog-post.html#comment-906 Melissa @ Cellulite Investigation Wed, 30 Dec 2009 19:04:24 +0000 http://74.54.216.62/~cellul10/?p=181#comment-906 I like your take on the matter, Trevor, and the emphasis on value. How could something like cellulite (or any infirmity for that matter) be interpreted as beautiful? Maybe it's in seeing a value behind the experience --the pain, or the striving that might go along with it. A sense of connection. Or of hope. Or, desperation. Or whatever other emotion might feel pure and pungent at the moment. For me,beauty is one of those concepts that's hard to assign a comprehensive definition.

Beauty is about perception and too often about the perception that is forced on each one of us through the culture of media that is thrust upon us each day. Unfortunately, we usually, lazily accept this because initially it is shimmery and golden... Beauty should come from perception, the perception of "value" that is earned through living life. This brings different shapes, sizes, textures, colors, and much more diversity to what we deem as beautiful. Thanks for this story.

Van Gogh saw the beauty in a plain wooden chair!<br /><br />Beck's book is one of those books that's "right where I'm at right now," not to mention laugh-out-loud hilarious. I already picked up the sequel, Steering by Starlight, at the library yesterday.

They were beautiful because they were close to the land and the culture. I may have to pick up that book now. Thank you for sharing.
