When You Know Illusion, You Will Immediately Be Free. Freedom From Illusion Is In Itself Enlightenment.
When you know illusion, you will immediately be free. Freedom from illusion is in itself enlightenment. - Tri huyễn tức ly. Ly huyễn tức giác.
Phật, Kinh Viên Giác (Buddha, The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment)
Biết nó là giả (huyễn) bèn ly cái khổ. Ly được cái huyễn tức là người giác ngộ.

Vivienne Westwood on sex appeal.
This may be the truth but why is it ugly? I think the industry is what it ought to be. Imagine 100 pages of a beauty and fashion magazine only showcase average-looking women like those random girls you see every day on your way to the office, would you be more interested in that *beauty and fashion* magazine? Some critic but they may forget humans have fantasy and are inspired by ideal selves. Every now and then we enjoy unrealistic things. The publishers just offer the mainstream what the mainstream want. Consumers have freedom of choice.
Some blame the industry for manipulating standards of beauty for women. This may be but "standards" change over time and lots of factors rather than just beauty and fashion industry contribute to forming such standards. Do you think with his proposed "ideal proportions" of human body (easily seen in the statue of Venus de Milo) Leonardo was also manipulating the standards of beauty for women?
Hands according to composers

Idea explanation:
Chopin: mixer because he reminds me of one sometimes. Example. Scriabin: he has written a lot of pieces for the left hand alone and he injured the right hand. Rachmaninoff: He had really big hands. Really big. Liszt: he sometimes reaches notes at the other side of the piano. Ravel: he has delicate, water hands and very often the left and right hand play on top of each other. Beethoven: he is powerful and this is also a reference to the hammerklavier Satie: his touch is very gentle and it sounds like he is playing with gloves. Boulez: Just to give you an idea. Cage: the 'no hands' is a joke for 4'33'' and the objects on the keyboard are a reference to his prepared pianos. Feldman: most of his compositions use just a few notes. Mozart: Rolling pins because of all the scales. Schubert: A lot of his pieces have very articulated right hand passages that go back and forth like a wheel and really easy left hand ones. Bach: robot hands because he was so structured and calculating in his pieces. (Side note: amazing book) Debussy: really soft touch, just like feathers. Glass: Pendulum and metronome because of his style that led him to be very technical, a bit like Bach, but it's more complicated than that. Bartok: drum beaters because of the power of some of his compositions.
