One thing I've noticed about ALL "stars" of all brands, from pop to opera to
screen to media, is that when they first started out, they looked just like
the rest of us non-stars. It is only once they made it into the loop with
their talents and became successful that they gained stylists and changed
their appearances.
I would concentrate on being the best you can be in all facets: vocally,
dramatically, mentally, spiritually, physically and let the rest take care of
itself. Despite people's complaints, there is room for great, fat singers
always. If there wasn't, Deborah Voight and Jane Eaglen and Ben Heppner and
Alessandra Marc and Stephanie Blythe (a rising star RIGHT this moment, even)
and Sharon Sweet and hoards of others wouldn't working, let alone be names we
all recognized.
