"What so many people misinterpret about what it is we represent is that were shallow, its not about image...its about using image as a tool to better whats on the inside. Sure being good looking helps, but we know a lot of people who are gorgeous beyond words...and they arent what everyone seems to be copying these days from us. Like...not all pretty girls make it to Miss Universe pageant. Its not just about 'pretty'. The look matters, its just as important as anything else, but its not the only thing. You gotta have it all!" ~Anonymous
