Free Blog...Class not trash! Plus a dash of celebrity too.

Someone posted this on their facebook page a few days ago. It was late at night and I was finishing homework, but I totally needed a mental break. So what do I do?...facebook.

I was scrolling through my news feed when I came upon this, and i was all, "OMG it's Emma Watson I have to look at this because I love Harry Potter and she's Hermione Granger who is awesome and performs magic and she likes fashion plus she's smart, which is basically the epitome of everything I love."

I didn't think it was possible For Emma to get any higher on my "People I'm obsessed with" list, but I think she did after I read this:

I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

I feel like celebrities today are expected to reveal everything. Not just their bodies, but their personal lives too-who they're dating, what they do in their free time, how/where they grew up, and even their health habits. Paparazzi are constantly snapping pictures when celebrities are just trying to live their everyday lives and do normal things. There is definitely pressure for them to look perfect as well as to show off their bodies in magazines, photo shoots, etc.

It's so cool that Emma doesn't cave in to this pressure! She likes being modest, and she's not going to change herself for the public eye. Child stars are exposed to such an adult-world at such a young age, but she has managed to keep her head on her shoulders and she favors class over trash.

"The less you reveal, the more people can wonder."

That's definitely going on my ceiling. I'll look at it everyday when I wake up in the morning. Kidding!

p.s. She does magic and she's modest...people don't get much cooler than that.
