The other day, Beth was talking about the latest issue of "Hello Canada" and it's 50 most beautiful people issue, marvelling at the fact that they had neglected to call her and include her in the list. I could relate. I wasn't in it either and when I began to think about it I realized that the editors had made a gross error. Why weren't we called?!?!A few days later we met, as previously planned, for lunch where we share thoughts, insights, and more deep than that, laughter.
Before we moved on to Chapters to book browse, and to Starbucks for refreshment, we made a pit stop to use the facilities. While in there (amid much loud laughter) we used the mirror so we could take our own photograph for "Hello Canada"...consider this one "air brushed" and "pouty" .. remember we don't have a team to do all the work for us...
Laughter and parody aside, as far as I'm concerned the most beautiful people in this country (in the world actually) are not celebrities and people with the money to enhance their looks. The most people beautiful people are those who live in this world everyday by living their lives simply and with love and joy. Beautiful people give from their hearts, do good works, care for their families, support their friends, respect themselves and others.
Why on earth do tabloid/magazine publishers feel we "need" to know who "they" (or their readers) think are the most beautiful people? Against what criteria?
I've said it before...look in the mirror right now -- you've just met one of your country's most beautiful people.

We are beautiful - and just a wee bit crazy! What a fabulous combination!
Hello Beautiful!
Have a lovely day - sending many hugs.
Amen. Inner beauty shines through - anyone can see it. Magazine beauty is one of the greatest ills of our society, IMHO. I like that dreamy quality to the photo. Why don't you take it and run it through BeFunky.com to see what more fun you can have with it. I'd love to see the results.
Oh that's great! I love the pouty face! Who needs celebrities, when we know real, truly beautiful people? Great post! Have a happy weekend!
Well, they didn't call me either, hmph!
I LOVED this picture of you and Beth! It looks like you girls are just as silly as I am and that is the BEST way to be!
Man, those peeps at "HELLO" don't know what they are missing!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
oooohh, ladies that lunch-and I wasn't invited LOL!! Looks like you and Beth had a great time and that's a great photo. To me, beauty has nothing to do with surgically enhanced parts, designer labels, or tons of cosmetics and airbrushing. You defined it perfectly-everyday people living life simply with love and joy.
Oh you're both gorgeous!! We Canadian Gals got it goin' on don't we? hehehe
Loved your post - have a wonderful weekend♥
Best Wishes!
Dawn
I love the pouty lips....
And yet here we are again in total agreement.I never buy those stupid magazines.I don't care!!!!
I don't know why people waste their money on stuff like that.
I'm glad you two had some good laughs during your outing. Nothing better than girlfriend get-to gathers.
I think I'm in need of one ....really bad.
Nothing is more beautiful than seeing someone living joyfully ! You and your pal made the perfect portrait of that ! Brava ladies !
I`ve never succumb to buying any of the those sort of magazines , they don`t interest me one bit .Why do their readers buy it ? Curiosity , comparison , when they should just be living their own lives !?
Love the " photo shoot " you had in the bathroom ! ! It sounded like you had a great time - and good to see you - and your ever changing hairstyle and colour - i thought you were shorter !!
enjoy the weekend !
You are a doll! and so right:>) Beauty begins inside and wears many faces!
