Redefining Beauty
Last week in Hot Topics Wendy called on all of us to redefine what is beautiful and sent an email to her Fan Squad members asking how they define beauty.
Find out how the “Wendy Show” audience defines beauty and tell us your definition.
Cherri, Maryland: My definition of beauty is being at peace with yourself; inner peace provides internal beauty, which translates to and is reflected on all dress/pant sizes.
Caren, Florida: I think beauty is having a positive attitude about yourself. And the ability to let your inner-beauty shine through!
Gloria, Maryland: Beauty is feeling confident and happy in the folds of your skin…whatever the color, size or shape. You wear it in your smile, your thoughts and deeds. Beauty is personal NOT commercial!
Helen, D.C.: I think beauty is the love in your heart and love you show to everyone.
Dot, New York: Beauty is defined as having compassion for others, loving yourself and others, not taking life too seriously, having fun, staying healthy and respecting your body.
Rose, Virginia: Beauty is your inner strength. It’s your character. It’s what everyone has to deal with when interacting with you. It has nothing to do with your dress size. As we know not everyone is a size “0.”
Tell Us: How do you define beauty?

Beauty is in the eyes and the smile it’s in the kind words, beauty really is everywhere around us if we care to look and we can start by looking inside of ourselves. When we learn to see our own beauty we can see all the beauty that is around us.We can complement our young girls,give them positive comments,helpful suggestions.Wendy watching your show seeing you looking beautiful everyday and being honest about your beauty enhancements is what we need today. You are our girl,girl our black May West I love it.

Hi Wendy,
Beauty is as beauty does.It stays in the eyes of the beholder.
If you aren’t carefully, it can slip from the eyes of the beholder.

The God in me keeps me young and beautiful. If you are living right within your spirit then you will excude beauty to the physical world. Real beauty always begins within.

How you doin? Wendy I know about the addictions, I am addicted to Gum Drops.
And I am giving them up as of today…it is just ridiculous to be so attached to gum drops. But anyway Wendy, I love you and your show…my husband and I never miss it….If we don’t get to see you during the day we watch you at night, but we never miss.
We luv you
Keep on keeping it real
Lamont and Ingrid

Wendy, I think your show is great. However, I am proud of you being strong enough to leave the Slim Jim’s alone. Your friends should not temp you with them. I was hooked on them in 2007. My son had to sell forty Slim Jim’s for a school’s fundraiser. I purchaseed the whole box so my son would not have to go door to door. I opened the box imediately. I had eaten two the first day. On the second I had eaten eight. Was I ever sorry. About a hour later, I had a serious nose bleed and blood clots coming out of my mouth. I was rushed to the hospital. The doctors had a hard time stopping the flow of blood. It took them about six hours to slow it down. I had taken the medication they prescribed. When I left the hospital, I had to tilt my head back, because the flow was still there slighty. I have not and I will not every eat another Slim Jim again.

I seen a girl on tyra yesterday she has a rare medical condition where the bones in her face do not form and she has been through alot surgerys so forth girls suffer so much from self esteem issues as it is and to see this young girl who has faced diversity all her life and still smile and have a heart that cares for others that to me is true beauty actually you also wendy you are beautiful to be who you are and be confident in yourself . beauty has so little do with looks and so much to do with character poise and grace to succeed in a world who is so hung up on appearances and to be grateful and happy to be alive . love is beauty ….a childs face.. a tender smile.. an old lady`s (man`s ) wisdom your pets loyality beauty is very diverse and personal it truly is in the eye of the beholder beauty is different for all of us as different as we are as individuals..

I just lost my hair to alopecia at the age of 42 so I am learning that beauty really is from within. If I was not able to believe that life would be pretty hard. My three girls need to see that I can still be beautiful without hair.

hey kids-
so here’s the scoop. right now i am living a very dark period in life surrounding this very topic. as vibrant and fun as i am, the hardest thing for me is defining just what makes me beautiful. as a gay ‘man’, the community acts as if there are rules of engagement in order to belong. having a gym membership card is as important as having a drivers license, and baby if you don’t have a license you might as well not even try it! i am a ‘thick’ boy; really, a little bigger NOW than i have been before. i have tried the gym but i don’t do ‘people’ like that. but i have found that it is this non-acceptance and ‘haterade’ that the pretty, skinny, fit, and trendy kids flash on those like me that makes me want to run and find comfort somewhere. now wendy, like you, i am a true foodie, but baby, i will run to the nearest wendy’s and throw down without a moments guilt!
i just think its tough. on one hand, beauty is seen and reflected as being ‘attractive’. but that breaks down to the ‘who’ you are attractive to. there is a large group of us that battles this daily. some days i could care less. lol i work for starbucks here in Manhattan and my customers always give me great compliments on my ‘personality’. could it be that beauty truly resides inside for many? i think its a question that will never be defined as long as we continue to promote ‘beautiful people’ or ‘you must look like this to be this’. look at susan boyle. a dowdy cat lady with greying wisps of hair turned into a queen right before our eyes.
i guess. lol

Beauty is when you shine from the inside out. Beauty is when you stand out from everyone else due to a beautiful smile. Beauty is when you love yourself for who you are.

Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:3-4

True beauty is when you can touch a heart, edify a spirit and warm a soul. Its when your heart send so much beauty out your mouth people who have never seen you, love you. Beauty is allowing the good and the beautiful you possess to be deposited into someone else, as you watch a beautiful transformation take place within them and in return you as well.

Hello wendy,
I have 8 year old bi-racial daughter, with darker skin, a a almost 7 year old bi-racial daughter with very light skin and a Caucasian son. My 8 year old daughter went to kindergarten in a small town and was excluded from a lot since she was “black” and now we are back in Chicago she has friends, but she has a problem with wanting to always be “beautiful” and puts her schooling on the back burner I wish someone (besides me) would please help her to understand that we have to be true to ourselves not what everyone else wants us to look like then we will be happy.
p.s. she has always wanted to have blonde hair and blue eyes -and she gets compliments on a daily basis from strangers on how beautiful her hair and skin is. any suggestions?
