I love The Weeknd’s music a lot. And I absolutely love his new song “Save Your Tears.” It has an 80’s OMD vibe to it. He recently was on the American Music Awards performing a few songs from his new album After Hours, and his face was all bandaged up. In his “Save Your Tears” video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXYlFuWEuKI, his face is revealed and it’s shocking. It looks like he’s had plastic surgery done. Like, a lot of it. But it’s just prosthetics and make up. He references in one of his other songs from the album that “all LA girls look the same.” I don’t want to critique people who have had plastic surgery. But I don’t love the idea of us all wanting to look “a certain way; perfect.” Like, what is perfect? The tiny nose, full lips, big eyes? I have to admit something. When I was around 21 or 22, I went to a plastic surgeon to discuss possibly getting a nose job. It scared the living crap out of me when they mentioned having to break my nostril bone. Um, no thank you. Luckily I didn’t do it for many reasons. I finally matured and realized my nose is what makes me unique. That was also with the encouraging words from my mom and good friends. And my son happened to get my nose. I look at him and see a bit of me. 🙂 We have to embrace our unique beauty. We are our own best friends and we need to love ourselves, inside and out. There is no one like you. By: Liv D.
