PRetty and P!nk

P!nk has done it again! On Jan. 19 P!nk released an emotional and edgy single called 
F*cking Perfect 



P!nk introduced this new single with a “Personal Note.” She states:
"My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them. I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion. That is my intention." 

"You can't move mountains by whispering at them!" 
 Society has created an "ideal woman": paper thin, beautiful, flawless...perfect


P!nk is an excellent role model and uses her popularity to benefit society. P!nk has shown on multiple occasions that she is fed up with society's idea of "perfect." This music video's main message is that it is ok to be different, to be real. She addresses a major problem in society that girls and women are challenged with. 


The pressures children, young women and adults suffer from are rising at an alarming rate and the children have no idea how to handle it. The media is not helping when advertisements aimed at females are giving tips on how to look: thinner, taller, perfect, younger, smaller, softer, tighter.   

As a result they turn to other things; isolation, drugs, sex, eating disorders and so forth. P!nk's goal is to bring awareness, change and discussion about  cutting and suicide. These are usually tabooed subjects but she is not afraid to ruffle some feathers.



P!nk is being social responsible and trying to tackle societies idea of "perfect." I give P!nk two thumbs up for this shocking, amazing and emotional video.

Cutting is a cry for help, sometimes it is obvious, sometimes it is deeply hidden and no one knows. Visit her page to see how many people have be inspired by this emotional video.
