Nobody is perfect, DO NOT try to be….

“Imperfect is perfect to me”.

Love yourself!

I just watch the newest video of Pink, and I like the powerful message that she delivers to young women. Japan is a country where young women face a lot of mental and emotional pressure, because society pushes you to be a certain way, to look a certain way and it can be really oppressive for some. Japan is also a place where many girls suffer of anorexia, depression and suicidal thoughts.I met thousand girls since my 13 years in Japan. I believe I met more young women than anyone else ever during my “intense” career in the modeling and “miss” industry.

I love fashion, expensive clothes, luxurious lifestyle, exclusive resorts and I do promote it on a daily basis. But deep into my heart there is a soft voice that whispers to me… -”You must do not forget about these women living a sad life, do anything to help them feel good and to understand that life is what we decide to make of it”.

Singer P!nk has never been afraid to speak her mind, bare her soul, and share her deepest feelings in her songs. As she casually confers, “I have no choice. It’s what I do.” Indeed, it is what P!nk does. And, her 23 million in album sales, two Grammy Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards, and eight top 10 hit singles are proof that the tattooed badass with the heart of a p****cat does what she does well. Very well.

 

 

 

A Personal Note From P!nk:

I’m sure my newest video for “F**kin’ Perfect” will be much like some of my other videos, which basically means I expect it will ruffle some feathers.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them. I want art to make me think.
In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.
That is my intention.
You can’t move mountains by whispering at them.

Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. (the problem being; alienation and depression. the symptoms; cutting and suicide). I personally don’t know a single person who doesn’t know at least two of these victims personally. A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favorite rehab.

Its a problem, and its something we should talk about.
We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won’t make it go away.
I don’t support or encourage suicide or cutting.
I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can’t see another way.. I want them to know I’m aware. I have been there. I see them.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Making this video was a very emotional experience for me, as was writing this song. I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms.

 

And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well. There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be.

It has a good ending with a powerful message: -”BUILD YOUR CHILD CONFIDENCE SINCE AN EARLY AGE, IN ORDER TO PREPARE HER FOR A HAPPY LIFE”.

CLICK ON THE PICTURE. Enjoy the video!!

(but be careful if watching with young children).
