This thread is for this [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYpwAtnywTk) that I really like. It’s more or a public service announcement really. ---

She looks better at the beginning of the video than at the end… ---

> [@Astroboy14](#): > > She looks better at the beginning of the video than at the end… Well i wouldn’t say that, but she looks pretty damn cute throughout. Her voice is incredibly annoying though, but i think she’s faking it. ---

All that was missing was the background music of Kesha singing “Tick Tock” (the most obnoxious song of the decade so far…) to create the truly vapid personality! (Funny video though…wonder if she really does have a Master’s from Boston U…) ---

Thoroughly enjoyed that. I can’t tell if she’d be really annoying or really fun to hang out with, but I’m leaning toward the latter. ---

The sad thing is, lots of women seem to think there is a linear relationship between amount of makeup applied and attractiveness. Hiding your natural beauty is not a good idea, ladies! ---

The real joke is that all her advice is practical. I’ve seen pretty girls who people seldom noticed suddenly become ‘hot’ in the eyes of the majority and receive a ton more attention simply by spackling on the makeup, tanning, bleaching, and wearing more showy clothing. This girl is making her living as a gogo dancer/model. ---

I thought she looked good through the whole video, but better at the beginning. Her voice got old quick though. ---

Hiding your natural beauty is not a good idea, ladies! What if you are low on natural beauty to begin with? Answering own question: make the most of what you’ve got with subtle makeup, that’s the ticket. Neutrals! Applying turquoise eyeshadow to your crepey eyelids, and red lipstick to your wrinkly gray lips draws attention, but is not necessarily an improvement. ---

Very funny, but my God, her voice is annoying. It’s like a slightly-less-gritty Fran Drescher. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-trick-people-into-thinking-youre-good-looking/546330.md?page=2)
