Looking Within was Stressed on Jessica Simpson's the Price of Beauty, Episode 8 and Season Finale

Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty, Episode 8 and Season Finale, aired Monday night on VH1 from Los Angeles. The singer-actress returned back to the states after visiting various spots in the world like Rio, Morocco, Paris, etc. with her sidekicks CaCee Cobb and Ken Paves. Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty tries to convey the message that while it's all right to pursue outward beauty, inner beauty is most important. Episode 8 hammered that point home a lot. This program even included a surprise guest from the premiere show from Thailand.

Jessica, CaCee and Ken visited a local high school and talked about their adventures abroad. They took questions from high school girls. Simpson confessed that she was treated bad in high school, being insulted and having her home egged and given the toilet paper treatment. The celebrity said that it was basically good training for what she has to put up with now. The high school girls talked about how weight has put a lot of pressure on them, which Jessica Simpson has dealt with those issues, too. She told them that she isn't going to starve herself or dwell on telling herself that she's fat. Ken Paves challenged the girls to find the beauty within themselves, and tell themselves out loud, "I'm beautiful", which they did in front of the others.

Jessica Simpson organized a runway show to feature all the looks she saw around the world, and invited a few of the high school girls to participate. As a surprise for the viewers, Panya, who shared her harrowing story in Episode 1 of Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty (which you can read about at this Associated Content article here) was brought to Los Angeles and given a makeover. She had used some skin whitening products which severely burned her skin. Panya specifically requested longer hair, and was moved to tears after getting it plus the facial transformation, which also moved Jessica Simpson to tears.

The Season Finale runway show drew enthusiastic applause and brought back a lot of memories and positive reinforcement about what beauty means to the actress-singer. Ken Paves and CaCee Cobb participated, too, in the runway spectacle. When Panya came out for her appearance on the runway, the crowd was really moved because she, in effect, broke free from being a prisoner in her own house for five years.

The show ended with Jessica Simpson talking about Operation Smile, and how it helped a girl she met in India who had a cleft lip. The celebrity stressed the importance of inner beauty and believing in oneself to the audience and announced a new movement focused on self esteem called the "Initiative of Beautiful Me."

The Season Finale of Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty, Episode 8: The End or the Beginning?

For reality shows, this one was more upbeat and didn't have the cat fights, the insults, or a lot of other nonsense that a number of reality shows have. Jessica Simpson has had, to date, a short 8 episode run of this reality show program, but at least she has another credit to her resume and some more international traveling experiences. The singer-actress can hold her head up high over this show whether it's given a Season 2 or not. Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty tells women that it's fine to engage in activities like fashion shows, spa treatments, and makeovers, but to not go to extremes in trying to make themselves look beautiful outwardly, for real beauty is found within.
