The Price of Beauty
We can all go back to the days of MTV’s “The Newlyweds” and remember Jessica Simpson’s ridiculous comments and blonde moments. The show ended five years ago (can you believe that?) and now it’s time for Jessica to begin a new reality show – this time with VH1, called “The Price of Beauty.”
The show is slated to begin on March 15 and will document Jessica as she travels the world to see how other cultures view beauty. It’s definitely an interesting concept, especially in the wake of how some people find it necessary to change their entire body for others.
In the show, Jessica walks in a runway show in Paris and visits a woman preparing herself by fattening up in a cave in Uganda for her husband. These are different ideas of beauty. I guess the point here is that every person in every culture has their own definition of beauty.
Even beauty professionals have their own definitions. This can be seen in each individual person’s style. A hairstylist may be the best at cutting short hairstyles because they love this style and thinks it looks beautiful on a wide variety of people; a makeup artist might really love the smoky eye look as the perfect way to accentuate a client’s eyes; and a wardrobe stylist might have all the latest styles in their client’s closet to convey beauty.
No matter who you are, you have your own opinion of beauty. I wonder what Jessica’s will be. Maybe I’ll check out the show. Stay tuned…

I saw this advertised on the web and and the same reaction you did in reference to remembering her Newlyweds show. My initial thought on her doing another show was a sigh and, “Oh, great.”
But you know what, after viewing the premise of the show I thought this actually might have the chance at being an interesting and perhaps valuable show.
I will have to watch it myself. Starts on the 15th I think. I better set up the dvr or I’ll forget all about it.

Madison, I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully it will add value to the world… somehow. We shall see next week and I’ll definitely need to do a follow-up reaction post. Let me know what you think!
