Here here! Vashti is gorgeous. She knows exactly what it's like to have been a cute girl and now a beautiful woman.

Or do I? Or maybe I'm not pretty ??

You're gorgeous too. You probably just don't know what it's like to be anything but gorgeous. Which gives me an idea!
Put on fat suits and go about town without makeup. If you think you're being discriminating against because you're so beautiful just wait and see what happens then. Be prepared to experience an entirely different world. There is nothing on this Earth sorrier than an ugly woman. I say that not as a selfless knight, nor as a hypocrite. I'm not doing anything to combat the problem. In fact, I am part of the problem. I barely even notice the presence of an unattractive woman, I'm so disinterested. I treat them in the same neutral way I treat everyone else--everyone else but pretty girls. Pretty girl drops her books and I swoop in to pick them up. Pretty girl can't get her car started and I show up with jumper cables. Ugly girl is disregarded.
And you know what? It takes a force of will to even be aware of that. It isn't a conscious decision on my part. When I see a beautiful woman in need I want to help her and it feels so good to help her, even if I get nothing for it but a smile. When I see an ugly woman in need there's nothing. No need to help, no guilt for looking the other way. Nada.

God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.
