Beauty
Wendao Jinxin wants some feedback on his thoughts about Beauty, particularly the beauty of women. I have my opinions, however I need some time to sort them out. You all are a lot smarter than me though, so go over and tell him what you think.

It might help to first decide what specific question we are asking... Are we talking about beauty in the context of mate selection, beauty as a general standard unrelated to mate selection, or beauty in terms of entertainment?
I think its an interesting observation that beauty has, due to its accessibility, become more "ethnic"...I'd like to hear or see some actual examples of this. I don't think that the availability of cosmetic enhancements necessarily makes beauty significantly less unattainable, since it still requires a fair amount of resources (money) to obtain.
