Melody, Feine & June

[waileong]

There's a few such comments already from the PC police at CS.

Sometimes I get the feeling that even if the poster put a picture of the Elephant Man, anyone who dares to say that he is ugly will still get shot down (insensitive what, right, considering it is a medical condition).

Someone said earlier "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". That expression cuts two ways. It means that it's up to the viewer to decide beauty. It also means that no one is absolutely right, because by definition, every viewer is measuring against his own standard.

But that expression should not be used as a crutch, ie when A says X is ugly, A is wrong because A is only using his own standards which are not in line with everyone else's, so actually X is not ugly.

You can say she's pretty. I can say she's not. Both are equally valid. Neither are wrong.

For someone to make a comment in public that so and so is not pretty is freedom of expression. Whether someone chooses to be hurt depends on how fragile their ego is. Those who are mature enough will take in in their stride. Anyone is free to disagree, to post "X is pretty what" in replies. But the poster of such comments should not be reviled, unless it is clear he has a hidden agenda or is out to deliberately insult, provoke or mislead.

On the other hand, people who post such comments should consider whether it's worth their trouble. First, it doesn't achieve anything per se except irritate and annoy the PC police. Second, it doesn't contribute to any improvement in photography, since the model's appearance can't be changed once chosen. Third, with all the OT and hate replies, is it worth the trouble?

How do you define beautiful?? Not everybody adore the same celeb. There will bound to be love and hate. Love, show it. Hate, shut your damn big mouth. Nobody needs such comment.

Melody's such a sweetie. Altho I've not met her yet. Thru chatting and her lovely pics, she is never ugly!

[Wlyang]

Melody....... the fine young lady.

I sure felt her warmth and sincerity not only as a model but also as a person. She's comfortable to work with in a shoot, which leave other elements to frame her well in a photo. She's got 'bitter-sweet' kind of look that gets my vote.

Upz for Mel......:thumbsup:

I think it's the posture.. not that flattering.. nothing to do with her 'beauty'. Just modelling technique, i guess.

Though it seems true that anyone has the same opportunity to comment favourably or unfavourably but in reality that is not always the case. Personally i think the most important consideration if making a public comment is that it must be a RESPONSIBLE statement.

From the look of it, i don't think the poster was trying to say that Melody is ugly but instead most probably he was mesmerised by the other girls. ("... compare to the girls). Ideally he should be gentleman enough to come out and say a simple "sorry" to her.

An irresponsible comment will have bad imprint on another, for some even for life. Telling someone that she/he is fat, or has a lousy voice, short, flat, etc... might always end up having that poor person suffers an inferiority complex for a long time.....

But personally, Melody is indeed a special person .... inside, she is really a beauty, kind of an angel. :angel: Get to know her personally and I am sure it is not only Wlyang, who would "I will date her if I am around her age!".... if I am around her age, I will bring her to meet my mum....:lovegrin:

Oh, have I got myself another 'date' or something? :bsmilie:
You people are really out to boost my ego to the highest level huh?

Well, true enough that the 'poor person' who is at the receiving end of his irresponsible comment might develop an inferiority complex over time, but I can say for sure that I wouldn't, Berd. To be very frank, I took it in my stride. I didn't allow it to bother me in any ways. 'Cos like what I've said, Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Since this very beholder feels that I am not pretty, or maybe like how you've pegged it, too mesmerized by Feine and June, then so be it; I am not pretty - To him, that is.

I am pretty comforted to see so many people standing up for me. People like you, wlyang, syl, jeryltan etc. Really, I perceive this to be a blessing in disguise. Just 1 li'l comment, and it generated me so much attention and PMs. Pretty cool huh?

Of course, I wouldn't ignore that comment still. Now that I know that particular pose and expression ain't flattering, I would avoid looking like that in front of the camera. And yes, I would smile more, drazic. ;p

Wlyang, I replied your PM already. Hahhs~ I really appreciated those lovely praises you sang about me.

And people who PM-ed me, consoling me and making me feel better, I appreciated those as well. Really.

Well, I guess we're back to the logic at the end of the day - Whatever thoughts that are making you unhappy, they are only thoughts; You can change a thought.

Cheers,
Melody Yap.
