You talk about the pretty girls
And they're the ones you want
I'm going to be a pretty girl
And it's all for you.

You say you like them slim
So I've been hungry for six weeks
You laughed at Hairy Jane
So I'll slice and dice my legs
The blood will be worth it
I'll be such a pretty girl for you.

I get up an hour early
And paint on a brand new face
Who cares if it's fake?
That's just the way life is
I'll cover up my ugly self
I'll be such a pretty girl for you.

I bottle-feed my hair
It looks just so sleek and soft
And it reeks of ammonia
From where I stripped the colour off
If you don't like it, I'll pull it out
I'll be such a pretty girl for you.

You've got yourself a pretty girl
And no, it isn't me
But I'll sit here and destroy myself
Until you love me too.

From dieting, to shaving, to makeup, to hair colour and more. It's pretty amazing how many things women are willing to do on a daily basis to keep up with the social "norm". This is a pretty hard-hitting piece Eleanor ... you've captured an edge here that makes me wish all the more, that the magazine editors would highlight the "every day woman", instead of the air-brushed models that grace the pages. Well done.

Best wishes,
/Kit

I've always wanted to be the pretty girl, but I gave up. I liked this one
