I have to admit, I’m liking Jessica Simpson a little more these days than I used to. I used to think she was sort of this poster child for bubble headed, big breasted blonds getting high up on the food chain in Hollywood for not doing much  more than singing and having a reality show.  Now, I think she’s coming into her own a little bit more, ripening and maturing and finally starting to see that you don’t have to act a certain way or look a certain way, just being your goofy self is charming enough.

She seems more self deprecating too, and I’ll also admit that I got hooked into watching one of her “Price of Beauty” shows where she travels allover the place and examines the beauty trends and ideals. Sure, the show if pure fluff, but dammit, it’s kinda fun to watch!

In an issue of Marie Claire magazine a few weeks ago, Jessica did the “brave” thing of not wearing any makeup for a photo shoot and working with just air dried hair. That’s right, no fancy flat ironing, curling irons, blow dryers or anything like that. No sir!  This is supposedly how Jessica Simpson gets up in the morning and looks. She looks exactly like I pictured her with no makeup.  She’s naturally pretty, so you can see why she wears makeup really well. She’s got good bone structure and she has naturally great hair, so even her un-messed with hair looked really good.

And of course, you have the ridiculous, supposedly natural cleavage that looks great too!  Go Jessica, it’s nice to see a makeunder that actually looks genuine, instead of one of these pseudo ones where you think you can see traces of eyeliner and other beauty enhancers snuck in there.
