Lookbooks

Everyday when I get on YouTube, there are several channels I like to check up on. Obviously the funny channels (smosh, jacksfilms, collegehumor, etc.). But I also like to look at lookbook videos. You know, the girls that put on their favorite outfits, walk around town and have someone film them looking all pretty. Yeah, those videos. It makes me kind of jealous. But in a way, it gives me motivation.
I've always wanted to make one of those kind of videos. I've never felt like I was pretty enough to do that though. After I cut my hair really short two months ago, it was apparent that there were a lot of clothes that I owned that I couldn't wear anymore. I didn't feel confident. I wasn't meant to have short hair. Another thing is that most of those girls live in California and look pretty next to the beach. So their videos look way cool. And then there's the fact that they probably had the money to spend on a really nice, hi-def camera. There are plenty more factors that I could name to prevent me from starting my YouTube channel making videos like those.
Yes, I realize I should be more confident in myself. I'm not an idiot. I just have so many flaws and those girls that already make those videos look so pretty and flawless. That's why I've started a "look better" routine. Work out everyday, wash face, and practice a make up routine to get better with it. Maybe in a year or so my hair will grow out longer and I'll feel prettier... Then when I can, I'll move to Miami Beach, Florida. Then... I think I'd be good to go. It's a long process, but I think it would be rewarding. Delayed Gratification? I don't know.
Moving on, just because I'm not 100% confident in myself doesn't mean you shouldn't be. Society pressures women to look like hot models. But not all of us can achieve that. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough.
Tell me your thoughts on society. What do you think about society's outlook on women? Thanks friends:)
