Face it, ladies, most of us will NEVER be pretty!

You’ve either got it or you haven’t says JULIE BURCHILL, so why do so many of us devote ourselves to the futile pursuit of beauty?

A recent book warned parents not to ceaselessly tell their little girls how pretty they are, lest it damage their character.
I don’t really care what people tell children — when you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, one more fib won’t hurt. But I am infuriated by the growing notion, posited in some touchy-feely quarters, that all women are, or can be, beautiful.
We’re not — any more than all of us are kind, clever, rich or can swim as fast as Rebecca Adlington. Supposedly feministic and empowering in intention, this notion reduces grown women to the status of little girls, who may scweam and scweam until they’re sick if they don’t feel pwetty. Get over it!

I blame Christina Aguilera, who with her bleating hymn to self-deception, Beautiful, convinced a generation of broads that they were ‘Beautiful, in every single way’. This frankly demented claim was taken to even further levels of delusion in a women’s magazine which recently published a ‘Positive Beauty Manifesto’ — ten rules which actually included flagrantly bogus lies. Here’s a few of them...
‘Beauty is the celebration of what is unique about each one of us.’ (No, beauty is actually a very structured aesthetic ideal, which even six-month-old babies can recognise in photographs.)

‘Beauty should celebrate intelligent, individual and confident role models.’ (No, beauty is its own justification, and intelligent and confident women who are not beautiful are free to celebrate themselves without being given the go-ahead by anyone.)
Lastly: ‘Being bombarded by unattainably perfect beauty ideals can damage confidence.’ (Only if you are unspeakably wet, in which case you won’t be — and don’t deserve to be — confident anyway.)

The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it; most of us have it not at all. And that’s perfectly OK. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don’t seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.
We quite rightly consider people to be insane if they go around declaring that they are Napoleon when they are very clearly not. Is it not a baby-step on the road to such full-blown lunacy for a plain woman to swank about celebrating her alleged beauty when (like me) she surely has a face that only a blind mother could love? I was certainly beautiful when I was 25; now I am 52, I am most certainly not. But as I didn’t think my looks were the be-all and  end-all anyway, losing them really wasn’t that upsetting to me.

What I find most upsetting about this new all-consuming beauty culture is that the obsession with good looks, and how you can supposedly attain them, is almost entirely female-driven. It is one group of women constantly setting the bar for other, dumber women to jump over; the silly led by the sinister, as Christopher Hitchens once remarked of the anti-Iraq war marcher

Except this time the silly are slathered in mud and wrapped up in allegedly beauty-giving bandages to resemble mummies. The spa culture is the foremost marketplace where the twin maladies of modern women — narcissism and self-loathing — meet up and conspire to rob them of their hard-earned cash, all the time pumping out the mantra that every woman is, or can be, beautiful.

A culture which has made women convinced that they can’t get through a stress-filled week without being swathed, soothed and massaged to within an inch of brain-death on a regular basis. But it is a myth that any of these treatments will turn a plain woman into a beautiful one. A beautiful woman is still beautiful if she goes for a week without washing, fries herself in the sun and drinks alcohol by the gallon.
