What is the acceptable standard of beauty for women in Los Angeles? I recently moved from Cincinnati to LA. I am horrified to discover things like my roommates' company, where: I - at 100 pounds - would be at a middling sort of weight; everyone seems to have new, trendy clothes; everyone goes to "beauty clinics" for expensive procedures like tattooed eyebrows and collogen; everyone wears their hair in a style; etc. Surely, this is not the norm! Please tell me I'm right. It is too expensive, too fake, and too horrifying. What is the "real" standard of beauty here?
In Ohio, I don't have to do very much to be considered pretty. I'm thin with blond hair and blue eyes. As long as I am dressed appropriately for the situation - a business suit at work, for instance - no one is going to judge me harshly based on my appearance. Here, I feel like I have to turn my life upside down every day just to go to the supermarket. What is the minimum with which I can get by without being judged harshly?
