CIBER QUEENS

Does anybody believe, I mean firmly believe, that someone can be loved or liked, or desired by everybody?

Does anybody believe, I mean firmly believe, that one is the most beautiful, awesome, gorgeous, extraordinary, sensual, hot, sexy, smart, witty, slim and well fitted woman if this world?

That was the case of Snow-White’s stepmother, remember? A very vain woman who wanted to be certain that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. She had a magic mirror and used to ask everyday:
“Mirror, Oh, Mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest one of all?”
And the mirror would always reply:
“You, Oh Queen, are the fairest one of all”
And the Queen would smile for she knew the mirror never failed to speak the truth.

I am pretty sure that this fairy tale is coming back to you, but now as grown-ups girls we know that those mirrors don’t exist anymore. Awe! And this is so sad for all those “Queens” who do still exist. They have not extinguished and plus they are a non-protected species either for they are in no danger of extinction at all. We all know at least one, don’t we?

So those mirrors have vanished with the pass of the years, let me say centuries to be more precise, but high technologies have invented another and even more powerful tool: social webs.

Those are the useful, brand new and powerful substitutes for Mirrors. Obviously those “Cyber Queens” don’t have to post on their wall the famous sentence: “Oh Wall, Wall, Who is the fairest one of all?” Nope, they don’t have to do that, they are far more sophisticated for that, keep in mind that we are in the XXI century and that cyber technology is the almighty guru. So, what do they do instead? Well, they simply post a witty, funny comment on their wall, or even download a picture they have found on the net, and count the number of comments they have from their dudes. The more comments they get, the more popular they are.

Yes, comments are the measuring tool they use to check their popularity.

And what happens when those Queens come to ear the
“You, Oh Queen are fair. This is true, but Snow White is fairer then you”

They can’t send a hunter, nor disguise themselves as an old pedlar woman with a tray of ribbons and bling bling accessories, or as a peasant with a basket of apples, they can’t do that anymore, so what do they do?
They ignore the new Snow Whites: that’s it they simply ignore those fragile creatures, and they can be cruel too. They can even “forget” the birthday of their female competitors, who simply become invisible to their eyes, not to mention the fact that they never, ever have a compliment towards them either.
Like candidates to Primary Elections they keep a report with the increasing number of admirers.

They focus on their facebook or twitter male friends BUT will always keep an eye, or let’s say rather two eyes, on their rivals walls, as those new Snow Whites’ walls are treasures, which enables them to control the progresses of the enemy and who knows, they might as well discover where the Seven Dwarfs are ^_***.
