What Is Beauty?

lupestripeI accept that the term is different for different people but in a media driven world that proports an image that skinny beautiful people have more worth to society than everybody else (making everyone else feel inferior in the process), it has been refreshing to read on Twitter that some people find a little bit of fat a positive thing.
I say this because of my own weight fears, which is partly linked to my own vanity. It's not pleasant but then that's the truth - I don't look good so I don't feel good. Yet if others say fat is beautiful then clearly the concept of beauty is a broad spectrum and one that varies from individual to indivudual. I probably shouldn't be so upset about my current corpulent state but having had these issues since the age of six - there is a vestige of childhood inferiority and paranoia about them.
So what is beautiful to you, both in terms of sexual attraction, aesthetics in people and also in the world at large?
