Cutest Fairy

Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:39 am

I've always had a thing for the ever-cute Illusen (some psychologists may call it an unhealthy obsession).

This brings me to the topic... what would happen if all the Faeries in Neopia had a beauty contest... wouldn't that be a great plot? Or sub-plot? Or thingy to kill time?

...and who would win?

Good call.

I really think the site should be placing more emphasis on already irrealistic and unhealthy body impressions for pre-teens. Nothing says 'I am a better person" quite like settling competitions through a competition based purely on physical ideals. Now that the fire faerie is slightly less anorexic and already being referred to as "the Kirstie Allie Faerie" because she is currently the only mildly respectable (and I do put a heavy emphasis on the mildly) actress who is unable to use a piece of licorice as a belt, we propably don't want to start heading back in that direction. In fact, I have no problem with them being skinny and waiflike. That's fairies. That's what they are. My problem is when they start getting skanked up. Its not a direction we should be pushing kids into. They're finding their way there just fine on their own, thank you very much. Its like those crappy little Bratz. Those things aren't cool. Its like," hey, I think we have enough positive role models in the girls toy aisle. Let's see, we have Lawyer Barbie, Doctor Barbie, First Black Femal President Barbie, Findinag a Cure For Cancer Barbie, and, what's this? Street Corner Barbie (Pimp Daddy Ken sold seperately)." Its like mini skank trainers. What happened to the good old days! I got my run of the mill Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (back when they still liked pizza, saiid cowabunga and had pupils) and I was good. And they were worried about THAT being a bad influence!!!! Even the clothing! Back in my day in kindergarten the most controvertial thing a girl would be wearing was leg warmers over her tights with an unhealthy amount of fluorescent colours with her 8 year old sister's New Kids on the Block t-shirt and a side pony tail. Now, its leg warmers... and that's it. Its like these little 5 year old Britney's and X-Tina's running around on the playground catching thier death of cold while MTV as rotted out any sense of percception and they're just waiting for hormones to kick in so they can firmly lose any sense of self worth and promptly be taken advantage of by the first pimply faced, immoral, manipulative jerk to tell her she's got a nice tail and that her shirt looks nice but would look even nicer on his bedroom floor. Meanwhile the parents are standing by, either oblivious, apathetic or helpless while the teachers and the occasional good kid stands back and shakes their head because they know that there's nothing they can do and that they are in the minority of human beings in our society that actually have the presence of mind to form their own opinion and there is absolutely buttkiss they can do about it!






That being said, I think the Water Faerie would win. She's totally hot. :roll:

The Fountain Faerie. She has fantastic hair.

When visiting shops, it does seem that this blog is by far the most popular one:

It's clear that coming2atvnearu has a point here, though...

I'm definitely saving that to read to my girls when they get a bit older. Excellent lessons there. ^.^

I've always liked more earthy types, so I think I'd pick Illusen. :)

Wed Apr 13, 2005 12:35 pm

I think Illusen is the best !

Haha.. She has a cute face and quite sexy too with her green dress.

<3 It..

Phew!!!! And, I thought I wrote alot! :P

Excellent points you made there, coming2atvnearu. My just-turned-teen daughter and I went clothes shopping last week. And, I discovered there is almost nothing out there to buy that isn't skimpy, gaudy, revealing, tight, sheer, and/or shorter than short. Stores don't carry decent clothes anymore--and I went to almost every store I could find--including the respectful department stores.

And, just about every kid is wearing this crap. We went to the mall on the weekend, when all of the teenage girls are shopping. And, I have never seen so many bare midriffs in my life. And, let me tell you, most of them were not too pretty. Nothing like seeing fat-filled love handles on a 14-year-old squeezed into a pair of low-cut jeans and cropped t-shirt. Ugh!

My kid is the "occasional good kid" that positively hates this new trampy/vampy style. And, just doesn't understand why the girls in her class wear this stuff. In fact, she has gone pretty much grunge just so she has something to wear.

Oh, and so this post is on topic: I think the Snow Faerie is the beauty in the bunch.

Wed Apr 13, 2005 3:36 pm

The Fire Faerie from the Mystery Island plot, she has such a pretty face the the flower in her hair is lovely :P

Oooh, it's even worse at the clubs. Whenever I go, I see a bunch of 19-year-olds (I'm Canadian) positively stuffed into tiny tight tops and little skirts. They have fat literally bulging out between the shirt and skirt, and they're dirty-dancing with their female friends because "guys think it's hot." I'm only 24, but these girls seem so young and immature to me based on the way they act and dress. It's like... so many of them could look so pretty if they just bought clothes that fit. I don't know why the littler girls want to emulate these clubgoers, but they do.

Anyway, Illusen is the best because she has red hair, and redheads are awesome. ;)

That word should never, ever be used in reference to something on the Neopets site.

Wrong... wrong.. wrong.. *goes to scrub mind*

In terms of cuteness, I think Jhuidah was adorable before her makeover. I loved her hips and lips and shortness. She was very sweet looking. But then came the makeover. Fooey. She's still cute, though. Just not as cute.

Wed Apr 13, 2005 5:38 pm

I am only mildly disturbed that the waif-look is concidered to be the look of youth. What a terrible example and pressure on our teens.

Oh, and everybody know the faerie queen would win, She's QUEEN. :roflol:

ROFL! :roflol: Best. post. ever.

My vote is for the exotic Space Faerie...red eyes, blue hair, and a great tan! Plus she made the cover of Neopets' magazine ;)

Eithne would definetly win! With the Tooth Faerie in second and Taelia in third.
