The Price of Beauty March 14, 2010
I’m not a big TV watcher but this week I’m really excited about a new show–Jessica’s Simpson’s new docu-series called “The Price of Beauty”. This show takes Jessica Simpson around the world in search of the meaning of la belleza. Jessica talks to chicas from all over the world, takes a look at local fashion and explores dietary fads and beauty regimes to bring us an interesting look at how la belleza is defined by various cultures–definitely a must-watch.
What I like about the show is that it gives chicas, especially teenage girls, a different perspective on how they should look. I also like how it explores all the different views on what makes a woman bella so whether you’re tall, short, blond or brunette, there is a culture out there that considers you bella. Besides the body issues themes that Jessicas touches on, it will bring you all the unusual things people do around the world to achieve their belleza ideal. ¿ Sabías que brasileñas get butt implants to make their nalgas bigger and las francesas shun plastic surgery? Who knew!
Here is a sneak peek at Jessica Simpson’s new show.
The Price of Beauty premieres tomorrow at 10 pm ET on VH1. ¡No te lo pierdas!
Generally I like Jessica Simpson and I really enjoyed her recent Oprah interview. I felt she was very relate-able. I was looking forward to her VH1 show, “The Price of Beauty” because I think the message is fantastic — but after watching it, I’m a bit disappointed. Jessica Simpson came across as very rude in the host countries, like when she was gagging over eating bugs in Thailand. It makes Americans look bad to the rest of the world.
I hope that she is more polite and aware of the importance of being a good representative in future episodes, but I doubt they will be any different.
I like her too…I’m going to wait and see the next few episodes before I make-up my mind on the show. Def agree the message is fantastic and hope the show really explores the message deeply.
