What's an embodiment of Asian beauty? Is it the Western idea of tiny eyes with "single eyelids", full-moon face, and cherry-like mouth? Or could it be the Eastern idea of large eyes, small oval face, and pale complexion? Is it Lucy Liu or Kelly Hu? Or would it be one of those Korean actresses with thick but light eyebrows, medium-sized almond-shaped eyes, straight noses and oval faces with dainty mouths?

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."

There, I answered my own question.

Or even more cliche, "beauty is from the within."

Ugh. Just the act of typing that gives me the creeps. We all know it's not absolutely true. We all know the beautiful faces with festering filth of a mind underneath. Pure evil I say. Don't mess with one of those.

I believe in the superficial, the outside. That's what I'm talking about when it comes to beauty. For me, Catherine Zeta-Jones is beautiful, Jessica Simpson is not. Britney is not, neither is Ziyi Zhang. See my point?

And thus concludes the very short and sweet connundrum of Asain beauty.
