Seems every other week I see
online that some woman is conducting a “bold” experiment and going make-up free
in public for a year. Oh please! Look at all the dish-rag faces around, it’s
not a “bold” experiment, its everyday life!
Just go inside one of those
fundamentalist churches and see all the “bold “women in their drab clothes
sitting in the pews.
Why the rush to join the
frump-a-dump brigade???
The latest woman in this
experiment has a pleasant face, but bland as vanilla pudding. – I like rainbow
sprinkles on my vanilla pudding! We taste with our eyes as much as with our
lips.
What is wrong with trying to
look your best!
Yes, make-up is a mask, but
so are clothes! There is nothing wrong with that! – It’s the mask on the inside
for which you have to watch out!
The following day, I watched
a video of random men being made-up by a cosmetologist. A step in the right
direction! Now, I want to see men forced into the same tight, revealing,
uncomfortable clothes women endure!!!
Clothes can be comfortable
and modest, yet still attractive. The ladies clothing designers seem to have
forgotten this.
Unless performing on a
stage, no one (man or woman) needs to wear as much make-up as in that video!
Just a bit here & there can work magic! I can show you how to go from blah
to ooh la la!
A friend who read my latest
book (co-authored with April Sampson) told me, “You sure go thru a whole lot to
look like that!” Much of what is in the book exists only as an option, I
reminded her.
The best cosmetic is clean
living. Otherwise all the make-up in the world won’t help. Strangely, this
seems to be the hardest for most. And don’t skimp on sunscreen! This is
crucial!
I should not have to point
out that the right clothes and cosmetics add to a woman’s empowerment! A good
Nazi woman did not wear make-up. It was
discouraged in that society! In Muslim countries, women are forced to wear burqas
in public. In a totalitarian male-dominated society, anything that empowered
women is either discouraged or outright forbidden. Beauty has power; a lot of
men can’t handle that.
I recall a once popular saying,
“There are no unattractive women, only those who don’t know how to be beautiful.”
The problem nowadays is that most women won’t even make the effort. This is
truly a sin.
