Pretty hurts We shine the light on whatever's worst Perfection is a disease of a nation Pretty hurts, pretty hurts We shine the light on whatever's worst Tryin' to fix something But you can't fix what you can't see It's the soul that needs the surgery. As it turns out, she'd watched the video to "Pretty Hurts" and despite the fantastic lyrics, what you see on screen is a different picture.

What you see is Beyonce being significantly thinner than before her pregnancy, creating the yearning for those watching the video to look like her, to do exactly what she sings about: strives for perfection, which hurts. Now, I'm no one to judge and neither is my sister, but I'm all for making people aware.

So, I sat down and asked a few questions about the motives behind the video and Beyonce's thinner frame. Beyonce obviously lives in the show biz.

She is pressured by the unachievable current beauty ideal even more than we normal people are. I mean, she's surrounded by Twiggies who hardly weigh more than 9-year-olds. I don't know. As someone who was severely harmed by trying to imitate celebrities' bodies, I am aware of the severe and fatal consequences that the Beyonce's video coupled with the lyrics can have on a teenagers mind. In other words, singing about not wanting to play the ridiculous game of beauty and perfection anymore, but looking exactly like the people she doesn't want to be should not just be seen as a harmless side effect of show biz.

Are people like Beyonce, role models after all, not aware of the way young girls see them and the many measures they take to look like them? Again, I don't think so. If you're in this kind of business, you know that you have millions of fans all over the world looking at posters of you every single day. You know they look at you, admire you you and desperately want to be you.

Maybe Beyonce's recent videos, in which she shows a lot of skin, is simply a way of showing the world that she's darn proud of her body, especially after having had a baby. I mean, even if we never had the body Beyonce's showing off now, we'd probably do the same if we, well, what If we had the personal trainer she has?

If we had the "discipline" she has? And at the end of the day when you go through all of these things, is it worth it? I mean, you get this trophy and you're like, 'I basically starved. I have neglected all of the people that I love. I've conformed to what everybody else thinks I should be and I have this trophy. What does that mean? The New York Times.

Pretty Hurts Lyrics

Retrieved June 18, Retrieved November 10, Consumer health advocates and some researchers have for years warned that at least some of those are unsafe. And they are trying to connect the dots between these intimately used products and some worrying and unexplained disease trends — particularly in women. American women use an average of 12 products a day — nearly chemicals — according to a study by the Environmental Working Group EWG , a non-profit environment and health advocacy group.

Another survey , conducted by a beauty retailer in , found women averaged 16 products a day on their face alone. In the US, overall cancer rates have declined in recent years, but certain types of cancer — including those of the thyroid, liver and skin — are on the rise, according to the latest government data. And while the rate of cancer diagnoses among men is decreasing, rates for women have remained stable since Leiba said known or suspected carcinogens like formaldehyde — found in some keratin hair treatments, body soap and nail polish — and coal tar — found in some hair dyes and shampoo — are of top concern in beauty products.

So are heavy metals, like lead found in lipsticks and clay-based products, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals like parabens and phthalates, among others. EWG, along with other advocacy groups, is pushing for more transparency and regulation of the industry to ban certain ingredients, many of which are already blocked in other countries. A recent report by the organization found that more than 40 countries have banned 1, chemicals in cosmetic products, compared with nine in the US.

Data on real-world chemical exposure is limited, and most safety assessments look at one chemical and one source at a time. Women, especially black women, have been found to have a higher body burden of certain chemicals found in cosmetics, including parabens and phthalates.
