Bullying is not funny. It is not cool. It is not right. And more importantly, it is not okay. …
Most of us are, thankfully, residents of countries that support
tolerance and many of our families have settled in these places simply
for that reason. Generations later, it is our responsibility to
perpetuate that message of tolerance across our new social platforms,
including the internet.
As members of the nail polish blogging community, we all share a love of
beauty, color, and lacquer. Other than that, we are remarkably
different: from our race to our religion to our hair color…even to our
polish application techniques.
To marginalize anyone because of those differences is completely
unacceptable and today I take a stand against that. I refuse to allow
other people’s view of “normal” dictate how I behave, believe, and blog.
In solidarity with a multitude of bloggers linked below, my purple
manicure represents my proud commitment to the No H8 movement.
Today, November 8, I dedicate my post to ending bullying of any
kind and to encouraging diversity and imperfection among our colorful
community.
- For this manicure I used Spoiled's Checkin' Into Rehab, which I thought was super pretty.
- And this is probably the type of photo that would have gotten me mean comments because my lack of clean up is even more apparent in this photo. But it shouldn't be about a not flawless application (because please, "I have no flaws, at all." said no one ever, or well if they did say it they were totally lying because we all have our flaws and they should not be held against us in anyway.) it should be about beauty and things that make us happy and give us joy.
