About me - Kayleen Proffer

About me? I love how that reads, an attempt to write what it is that makes me who I am in this small spot would be near impossible on top of the fact I rather like the complexity of being ambiguous.

On the other hand, I do have to write something here. So I

Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) Is real beauty on the outside or the inside?: 3 of 175
There is a phrase that comes to mind when I think about this question, and that is this "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." As each of us looks out at the world, our view is skewed by our own experiences, some good some bad, but each experience makes us the people we have become. Beauty, in the circumstantial form, is mer... More..
Style & Beauty > Fashion Trends & Styles Should Goths be allowed to wear what they want without being judged?: 3 of 44
The fact that Goths are being voiced in this question almost as a different species of human is rather disturbing. Not giving them the choice to wear what they want would be like trying to force the entire world into a manditory uniform. It's simply unreasonable, and undeniably wrong. People have the freedom to express themse... More..

Some people simply do not feel clean if their hair is not clean every day, others have the lack of oil production that makes washing their hair daily simply not an option. As with most beauty care, the frequenc... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Ever After: 1 of 2
Ever After is a fantastic spin on your typical Cinderella rags-to-riches story. The beautiful and talented Drew Berrymore is cast in the role of the leading lady, and does a very good job at it. It has everything you would want from this type of movie, from a amazing cast to a beautiful backdrop for the movie. The sets and ci... More..
Style & Beauty > Clothing Sizes & Fit Should plus-size clothing be modeled by plus-size models?: 81 of 97
This is actually a topic that I have debated with the people around me for some time. Plus size clothing should be modeled by the women who will be wearing them. Contrary to popular belief, just because a woman is plus-sized that does not mean she spends her entire day looking at women who are not, and wishing she looked like... More..
