As we leave the concept of beauty in the hands of Kelly Osbourne, we continue on a journey, and are
taken behind the scenes of our insightful professional world of fashion and fame. If taken step by step, we
can learn what we thought would be kept secret forever and never known. The path and stairway to
discovery of celebrity secrets and gaining access to a positive self‐image may seem new, or scary.
However, traveling in perhaps a new direction, is nothing we should not pursue. Categorizing the
importance of the skin, clothing, apparel, etc. industries into priority depends delicately on the opinion of
one's personal thinking. It has been seen, that some rely soley on appearance, and others typically in all
areas of life, or neither any at all. Nevertheless, it is still quite intriguing when someone can find a new
ability, or idea from either a well‐known, or anunknown source. Celebrities in particular, are rather
fathomable, and favorable. Around the globe, researchers and leaders obtain masses of literature to try
and match at least half the information and beauty tips we can receive from one famous celebrity.
"There is no such thing as perfection. And just seeing the pressure my friends Kim Kardashian and Kate
Moss are under makes me never want to even be the prettiest woman in the room. Look in the mirror.
Find one thing you like, whether it is that you have long eyelashes or beautiful hands. Start there. Think,
'Well, I have got this, and a lot of other people do not.' You have got to look at what you do have, the
tiniest things. Especially since it is the little things that bring you down," says Kelly Osbourne, a woman
whom has lived her very life in the eyes of the public.
"I used to get picked on because I do not have a baby toenail, for God's sake! But I just take a moment to
look at myself, and I am like, 'Wow, I actually have an alright nose. And people do not realize that
underneath my little bit of fat, I actually do have abs. So that is all right.' " As a human, often a number of
questions can arise. Does it make it right for people on the outside to judge? Would it be justified to call
her a bad person based on her physical appearance? Is she really a horrible being because she does not
have a nail on her baby toes? The answer is no.
Although it is hard, Osbourne informs us that we must learn to shut the judging voices off. Not only
others, but especially our own. "Yes, it hard. It is a challenge to find the positive sometimes," Osbourne
explains.
"It takes me a moment to get there, I am not going to lie. When I wake up in the morning and look in the
mirror, and I am just like, 'Oh my God, I look so awful.' I think, Wait. Hold on a second here. I have not
worked this hard for this long just to go back to being that person again. It is like having a devil on one
shoulder and an angel on the other. I try my best to ignore that devil."
Shutting out other people's judging voices is just as hard to shut off sometimes. It is important to learn
and to remember that someone's words, thoughts, opinions, etc. have no meaning if they are expressed
in a mean or hurtful fashion. When the media twists something that happened, regardless of the
situation, can become offensive or even hurt the star's feelings it is directed to. That is why it matters to
shut that negative voice out.
Osbourne speaks about the matter, one she has dealt with in her personal life for several years. "That is
what happened with Christina Aguilera and I, which people do not understand. She called me fat for
years," says Osbourne. One night on the Fashion Police I said, F‐‐ you. Now you are fat too. I did not say I
was not fat. I said 'Now you know how it feels.' And I am sorry, but I stand by that."
"I make a point on the show never to say anything about anybody that I would not say directly to their
face. I am famous, and she is famous; it does not mean that I can not stand up for myself. I took it for ten
years and finally decided, 'You know what, I am done.' And that is the last thing I will ever say about it. As
for that high school mentality, if you are still hanging around people who are bringing you down, you
need to stop and re‐evaluate your friends and move on."
"You do not need those kinds of people in your life. If some dumb‐girl says you are not beautiful, do not
go on her word. What does she matter? Sorry about the language. I know, I am awful like that. But it is all
perspective," she says. There is a huge point we can learn from this story, and that is that there is honesty
in standing up for yourself.
