We Are Still Ugly on the Inside


Beauty... not beauty of character but visual beauty isn't just skin deep. The mutations that cause full lips, larger breasts on a thin frame, big doe eyes and strong masculine jaws come from the genes. And these genetic beauty mutations can pop up in some of the strangest places on earth.

For instance, when a young beautiful girl meets a young handsome man, have a kid, and never make it out of their small isolated community and their beautiful child meets another beautiful child, the concentration of attractive people can thrive in a backwater community simply because that full lip gene never makes it past the county line. When they do they become models, possessing traits that the rest of us do not have.

In the pursuit of emulation things are cut out, skin tightened, stuff packed in and ground away we have copied the beautiful... but! these beautiful people are breeding with fake beautiful people because they believe they are equal. It is thinning the beautiful blood stream. On the family tree branches are turning to twigs and twigs into leaves. Eventually there will be no genetic super enhancements but mediocrity.

My own jaw and teeth are surgically altered by an orthodontist and orthographic surgeon to emulate the genetic perfection. but I'm not going to pass straight teeth and a symmetrical jaw onto my children. Their teeth are going to be just as misaligned as mine were.

It seems the only answer is to subject myself to heavy doses of radiation. Thus altering my genes for the better... but if not... and I die, at least I will come back as a nuclear powered zombie.

Hey Steph, thanks for the title!
Your welcome Andrew, I can be pretty clever and heartless sometimes.

Combining the beautifully amoral, the prematurely sold-out, a twist of fascism, a mid continent surfer, and the undermining element in their lives.
