Beauty is not what it was.

The world is full

of airbrushed images

of synthetic women,

endlessly manufactured

by TV, film and magazine.

Identikit starlets

with interchangeable faces

and regulation bodies,

designed to appeal

to the lowest-common-denominator

unimaginative man.

And to be envied by women

who should know better.
