Hey kids. I know I said I'd be away for a while, but I simply had to put this out into the world, naked for all to see. I've always stood by what I've said, and if my meaning is ever in question, I would hope to be asked for clarification.

My original comment on Bee's set "Free" (5/30/08 4:19pm):

PM recieved today at 2:24pm

And my reply:

Haha, I see I've gotten your attention. Now, let me just take a moment to clear some things up.

The comment you refer to was not really meant to be taken literally. My intent was go glorify Bee, as I get the sense that she is one of the underrated institutions here on SG. I think we can both agree that, by far, more of the current members know of you and your radiance. I mean, really. You're the face of the Redhead appreciation group for God's sake. Yet Bee, who is just as beautiful a person, is rarely posted or discussed. Whether or not her presence is hidden intentionally or not, we can never know. The bottom line is, I feel she deserves just as much accolade.

I find it interesting that you would have the audacity to imply that Bee is of less worth than you. By negating my comment, you inherently state this, and I'm sure Bee herself would be none-too-flattered to hear that she is to be viewed as 'less than.' This is a bold statement on your part, and had my comment been made in anything less than sarcastic jest, your true character would show through. Obviously, non-verbal subtext is all too often lost in written communications, and your reply message may also have been meant far less seriously than this. Still, this is a pit-fall I would hope you are aware of.

Now, you are by no means anything less than astounding in physicality. I've said this before (I believe it was even in the Redhead Board itself, if not your own sets). In a more grand scope, this situation is what lies at the heart of SG itself. Beauty is entirely subjective, and the entire soul of this site centers around the fact that NOT EVERYONE has to have a particular concept of what is REALLY beautiful for them. I am perfectly within reason to be more physically attracted to, say, Bee, than I might be to, say, you. In fact, I am also within my reason to verbalize this preference.

However, again, the problem is that in reality, you are piquantly the epitome of perfection in physique, and from this dichotomy springs our current dilemma. In fact, for my tastes, you are almost too perfect. For the same reason that so many other super-models exist in print everywhere, you exist for so many in a world that does not seem to exist. You are a dream. You are at a level to be aspired to. This places you, and your physique, at a level so far above what any average person would feel they could attain, it becomes difficult to comprehend that something so etherial could ever materialize.

So, like most, it thus becomes easier (and more realistic), to glorify the imperfect. The imperfect exists all around us, and is by far more readily obtained. Bee is beautiful in her IM-perfection. Bee is a girl one such as myself might consider within my 'league.' Why should I waste time dreaming after one such as yourself, who seems simply too good to be real? Would any other woman prefer that I continually compare them to your level of natural perfection? I think I can pretty safely say the answer would be no.

So, in summary, I am perfectly within reason to profess my preferences, whatever reality they may be based in, and you are most certainly NOT within your reason to tell me what I do and do not believe. Not only do you run the risk of muddying yourself by doing so, but you would seek to negate the entire purpose of this microcosm that is SG. Furthermore, if your security in your own PROFOUNDLY EVIDENT radiance is gelatinous to the point where you feel the urge to correct the preferences of others, you may want to take a step back for a moment. You are not the end-all, Bee-all of beauty for everyone, and if you can't handle being reminded of this publicly, then by all means I'll be happy to refrain from pointing it out. While I certainly apologize if my comment hurt your feelings, as that was not my intent, I most certainly will NOT apologize for having my own preference.

In the end, this entire debate is silly. At the end of the day, I could only be so lucky to have either of you in my own life, in any capacity. I'm confident you both have individual merits beyond measure. But let's face it, none of this will ever actually come to pass, or matter in any of our day-to-day lives. You'll both continue being in fantastic photo shoots and living your own lives, and I'll continue living mine. I'll also continue dreaming my own dreams, whatever I may choose, and if you or anyone should ever like to have a glimpse of them or any other aspect of my life, I'll be here.

Sincerely,
James
