Sex and racism sells, and the industry knows this. This cycle can end, but it begins with loving ourselves.

This is a little off topic but since there was discussion and pics being posted with celebrities with little or no makeup I thought I would post this. Actress AnnaLynne McCord who stars on the new 90210 show just tweeted a pic of herself without a stitch of makeup on--and I mean she really had 0 makeup on her face, not even foundation! I thought it was refreshing to see this because every time a celebrity has their picture taken "without any makeup on" they usually have on foundation or a light powder or some lipstick or mascara or etc. But AnnaLynne actually was brave enough to show off her totally makeup free face, blemishes and all to the world

I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement," the actress Tweeted on Friday, along with a photo of herself without a stitch of makeup, with multiples blemishes visible on her usually smooth skin. "To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you!

"I'm not perfect - and that's okay with me!" she added.

Heres a pic of Aaliyah with no makeup that I found.. She looks the same, she just looks younger. She was such a natural beauty.
