britxbrit Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) LINK: "I tried too hard to be desirable." Quote Billie Eilish thinks she "tried too hard to be desirable". The 20-year-old singer showcased a radical change of image when she shed her baggy clothes and dyed her green hair blonde to pose on the cover of British Vogue magazine last summer in a pink silk corset but now she feels very detached from the pictures and was horrified by some of the backlash she received. She reflected to Sunday Times magazine: “No matter what you do, it’s wrong and right. "Wearing baggy clothes, nobody is attracted to me, I feel incredibly unlovable and unsexy and not beautiful, and people shame you for not being feminine enough. "Then you wear something more revealing and they’re, like, you’re such a fat cow w*. I’m a s and I’m a sell-out and I’m just like every other celebrity selling their bodies, and woah! What the f*** do you want? It’s a crazy world for women and women in the public eye. “Looking back at all of the promo and stuff we did before the album [in 2021], I’m, like, don’t know who that is, but that is not me! I didn’t have any time to think. I just decided who I was. I just became that vibe. And I don’t know if that was necessarily what I really was feeling. I was just grasping on to anything. “I honestly don’t feel desired, ever. I do have this worry that I felt so undesirable that I may have occasionally tried too hard to be desirable. It makes me sad to think about.” But the 'Ocean Eyes' singer now has a much more "solid" confidence in herself. She said: "In the past couple of months I feel far more solid in who I am. I feel different now, like I’m desirable. I feel like I’m capable of being as feminine as I want to be and as masculine as I want." And Billie views her body as her "ugly friend". Asked how her relationship with her body is, she said: “Nowhere good. My relationship with my body has been a truly horrible, terrible thing since I was 11. “I love that my body is mine and that it’s with me everywhere I go. "I kind of think of my body as my friend. My ugly friend! It’s complicated. But what are you gonna do?” Honestly, I had a feeling she would end up regretting this. Everytime a teenager comes of age, the industry pressures them to take their clothes off. It's sick. But I'm glad Billie is being honest about it.

SimpleKindofLife Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 At her age it must be so hard to be in the industry. The criticism is harsh and she’s barely even lived. Maybe she needs a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selegend Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) to begin with i didn't know it was infamous at all, only have read great viral comments online back then. isn't this one of those situations where there's 100 positive comments and 1 negative comments ruin the artist day and perspection? or i just should be grateful about my digital bubble? positivity anyway, sad that she feels that wasn't her, but it was somewhat expected since that energy didn't last long on her.

gustavothehuman Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Just wish I could give her a hug right now. It's so difficult to deal with all this bullsh*t while being so young. Edited June 20, 2022 by gustavothehuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinning Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I think it's a beautiful photoshoot. There can be more to a "sexy" photoshoot than just the want to be desired by men. Sexuality can be a beautiful thing we used for artful purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourtwink Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 i understand that feelings change but i’m so sick of artists doing this. you made the choice, own your ****. openly admitting to doing stuff that iSn’T yOu is literally admitting to selling out. believing in what you do and owning it is the difference between a legend (like madonna or gaga) and a fad. if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything i fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Than A Melody Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Everything she said is so relatable and it makes me want to comfort her. It's such a rough world on women in general, let alone a woman in the public eye, or with such a big spotlight on her. I hope she can find some peace soon, but it's gonna be so hard. I hope someone can tell her that whatever she does is okay! She doesn't have to conform to any standard she just has to do what makes her happy.

You act like you didn't make choices you ended up regretting during your teens early 20s . The girl has been said she's insecure about her body. She tried something different once and she gets bullied and ya labeling her a sellout. Jesus log off and get some air being obesessed on a young celeb.
