HI-HO!

ANECDOTES AND HOW TO'S FROM THE GIRL YOUR MOM SUGGESTED YOU STOP HANGING OUT WITH

LOL JK UR UGLY

I’ve seen a few people reblogging a Selena Gomez’s music video for her song “Who Says”. I heard this in H&M the other day while waiting in line to try on a $5 skirt (like I wasn’t going to buy it regardless if it looked good or not. Five. Dollar. Skirt.) and saw every girl in line whisper-singing along with it. “Girls like this song” is what I thought inside my head space.

I wonder why. Well, I suppose it’s catchy enough. It’s chocked full of “nah-nah-nah”s and has a really great message for young girls. Something about Selena being dumped because she wasn’t pretty enough. Right. I’m sure that happened.

But as great of a message as this song sends to young girls who hate their bodies almost as much as they hate their mothers, the video is still complete bullshit.

                

It begins with Selena being all gussied up for something that I’m sure is very important for a 16 year old to wear a sparkly black dress to. Then she takes off her stilettos and starts walking down the street. She doesn’t care. Who says she can’t walk in the streets of NYC without shoes on? Who says? Oh, tetanus says. Also, that’s human vomit on your feet.

But where she REALLY goes balls to the wall is towards the end of the video.
She takes her makeup off (sort-of) and runs around with a bunch of teenage girls on the beach. FUN! Except, Hello…2 things:

1) She doesn’t actually take her makeup off. It’s fake. She’s obviously still wearing make up. What the fuck.

2) There is absolutely no variation in the body types of these 13 year old girls that join Selina in her fake-natural romp on the beach. I think it’s just some 8th grade girls track team that was hanging out there that day.

And, wait, weren’t we just in NYC at nighttime? How did you get to this beach in Southern California so fast? Is this…? W—..oh wait, this video is dumbwhydoIcare?

So essentially who says you’re not perfect IF your skin looks like that of a sun-kissed forest nymph when you wake up in the morning and only if you wear a size negative in khaki Hollister shorts.

Side note:Does Hollister still have those shared dressing rooms with no doors? I think that gave me a complex when I was 13. That and probably loads of other crap.
Anyway, THANKS SELENA WE LOVE THE VIDEO!
