What is perfection? Is
it the cover of a magazine, the girl so happy to finally have made
it? What has she made, though? Everything is fake about her, from her
lips to her breasts to her smile. Her body is the sacrifice she paid
to make money, her body is the receipt. Everything from the meal she
just threw up to the clothes she models but will never own. The
"perfect" flat abs she almost killed herself to get, the lips she
injected to get so thick and full. The legs she worked so hard to
get. In the end, she killed herself to get where she is. Nothing is
the original, the little girl her parents knew and loved
self-destructed, a victim of its own success. An industry whore that
learns little tips, such as bending a little more during the photo
shoot will get you the cover. You have to look natural, they told
her. As natural as a girl in a beautiful outfit with a fake smile
plastered on her collagen lips can get. Look so natural that other
girls will want to replace you while you try to loose those two
pounds. Well, this is the end of that 'perfect' cover girl. Here,
where pills scatter across the floor, vomit splashes against the
walls and sinks, a look of shock mixed with that final content visage
plastered on her face. Every pill from fat burners to sleeping pills,
energy capsules to ecstasy. This is the end of the industry whore,
the one that became the photographer's "perfect" sketch. The
one that, as I found her, became the tragedy author's masterpiece.
Now, on the floor, the implants and injections, lifts and tucks mean
nothing. This is truly perfection in its finest.
