Heidi and I both have the unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on who you talk to) situation of being siblings with two good looking brothers, which I admit very begrudgingly. Brother Bella is 2 years older, while Brother Heidi is 3 years younger, but they both still garner a lot of attention from friends and relatives of the opposite sex (and probably of the same sex, which I'm not sure bothers Brother Bella too much - read his blog that he writes with a friend for proof: http://gretzposito.blogspot.com/ - he's Tewks).
Sure, I know I'm not hideously ugly or anything, and I've had a few guys show some interest, but Brother Bella won the genetic lottery, while I got the leftovers that couldn't possibly fit into his DNA. I realize that I'm making him sound like the best looking guy around, which may or may not be true and depends on who is doing the judging, but the general consensus around his looks is that they're pretty damn good.
(I expect that any women who read this blog will be rather intrigued at this point, but no, I am not setting my brother up with anyone at any time).
My sad dating resume isn't cause for comparing the popularity of my brother and I but, let's be honest, most of the guys I've dated hadn't even graduated high school at the time...and this is when they were in their 20s. But I digress.
On numerous occasions, family members have gushed over Brother Bella's good looks and muscular physique that he keeps in top form for his auditions as both an actor and model. And no, I'm not making this up. I actually think my self-esteem is dipping lower than ever as I write this, and I didn't think that was possible. I think everyone can sympathise when an elderly relative says to him "look at you, so handsome!" and then turns to me with "hi Bella." Enough said.
I love my brother, really I do. But there are only so many times that I can hear how fantastic he is before I start to think that I'm the worst looking person in the world. Add to the fact that Brother Bella used to tell me I was adopted from the Frog Face Family and, well, can you blame me?
Excuse me whilst I go cry into a large bowl of chocolate ice cream.
Love,
Bella
Dear Bella and Heidi:
ReplyDeleteDo not take the looks of your good looking brothers to heart.
But look at the positive aspect of that which can actually become a benefit.
When you have good looking brothers, they usally gave good looking friends.
I think you get the hint, and I need not explain any further.
Enjoy the scenery
