We all know that Whyville is educational. That's what is supposed to draw users, old and new alike, to Whyville; it is educational and fun all at the same time. But lately I've been looking around at our community, and I've made an observation; Whyville isn't really a place of education. It's more of a place that you can look good even though you're not, and have a life even though you don't have one. I don't mean to be demeaning, but Whyville simply isn't a reality at all.

I decided a long time ago not to fit the standard on Whyville and dress up in "wind blown" hair of some color, usually blonde, and wear blush, makeup, and eyeliner. It seems like even being a pixie or a goth is a fashion trend now-a-days. It's absolutely disgusting. So the bottom line is, I never get accepted into these Beauty Contests. I have to question why, since I don't dress badly, I'm not a newbie, and I'm not overly obnoxious.
