Hi, do you wanna be perfect?
Do you wanna be sexy?
Do you wanna live up to completely unrealistic standards set by the current landscape of social media?
Oh, wow, do we have the product for you!?
Now for six easy payments of only a hundred thirty-nine dollars, these—
What? Hey, hey
Hey, hey, what, what are you doing?
Hey, don’t turn that off, just gimme my mic
Hang on, hang on, no more of the unrealistic standards of “perfect”
It’s so boring
Actually, just be exactly who you are
There’s literally no one like you
