3.5 (Bom)

Fazer essa releitura depois de 5 anos me fez perceber coisas novas, e dar um novo significado. Como o padrão NÃO é feito para pessoas reais, como vc só consegue se aproximar dessa beleza idealizada mudando completamente a sua embalagem, tanto por cirurgias quanto comportamento.

A moda por mais incrível que seja para nos contar histórias e nós apresentar culturas, tem um lado macabro e cruel que é negligenciado. Como viver pra suprir as expectativas de um padrão irreal e que usa do 'superego' pra te fazer julgar que o ideal distantes é algo possível e alcançável.

E por fim vc preso nesta armadilha, gastando o dinheiro, o tempo e fazendo oq for necessário pra se tornar algo que, mesmo com os esforços vc nunca será.
