"Las Vegas turns women into men, and men into idiots" -Benjamin "Bugsy" Segal Looking down from the top of the High Roller (ferris-wheel), it's hard not to appreciate appreciate not only Bugsy's Flamingo, but the Las Vegas Strip as a whole he helped create. I wonder if he ever thought his vision would turn out so grand? Between the open bar on the High Roller, trying to take pictures with old friends, and new, Las Vegas has been quite an experience. We even saw the fountain show at the Bellagio before we wandered down to experience it in person. At this point the Leaders Conference has been more than memorable. I guess I have to thank, as Ceaser Romero put it, "Mobster with the Beautiful blue eyes." . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #vegas #lasvegas #flamingo #ceaserspalace #Paris #drais #bellagio #travel #poker #blackjack #trump #cosmopolitan #treasureisland #harrahs #venetian #love #mgm #linq #balleys #highrollervegas #beyourownbanker (at High Roller Vegas)
This may be the truth but why is it ugly? I think the industry is what it ought to be. Imagine 100 pages of a beauty and fashion magazine only showcase average-looking women like those random girls you see every day on your way to the office, would you be more interested in that *beauty and fashion* magazine? Some critic but they may forget humans have fantasy and are inspired by ideal selves. Every now and then we enjoy unrealistic things. The publishers just offer the mainstream what the mainstream want. Consumers have freedom of choice.
Some blame the industry for manipulating standards of beauty for women. This may be but "standards" change over time and lots of factors rather than just beauty and fashion industry contribute to forming such standards. Do you think with his proposed "ideal proportions" of human body (easily seen in the statue of Venus de Milo) Leonardo was also manipulating the standards of beauty for women?
