I have nothing against grooming. But an enormous chunk of our economy is devoted to selling images and dreams of beauty, rather than actually doing anything. Check out the chemistry of a $5 bottle of shampoo and a $50 bottle. Question why people are driven to purchase a new clothing every single season, as if their existing wardrobes are somehow inadequate.

My complaint was never about the use of clothes, cosmetics, etc. It was the illusion that buying all of these things can make you look like the people in the advertisements, and that will make you successful and happy.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
