What comes to your mind when you think of Class? In 1950s when men saw an attractive woman it was because they had to take a double take because she was so classy. V neck dresses that came just below the knee, pearl necklaces with matching earrings, hair in a french twist, red lipstick on their lips. The intrigued guy asks her on a date, opens doors for her, lets her walk first, because that was the gentlemen like thing to do then. They would get married, have ten kids, and 50 years later when his great grandchild asks him "What most do you love about grandma" He would say "Everything".
Women is 1940-50s were not judged on their weight, appearance, plastic surgeries etc. They were naturally beautiful.
Then comes the topic of women of today. Rehabs, alcohol, sex, weight, appearance, 10 children from different men, eating disorders, panic disorders, suicide. What happened to class? What happened to abstinence? What happened to being ok to wear longer dresses and pearls and hair in a tight bun with being judged?
It's Audrey vs. Paris and Paris is in the lead.
In my very own world, Audrey wins. I own more high neck dresses, pearls, and heels than one should. I do sometimes get judged by others for being a "Goody Good". I like to dress classy, and act like a lady. Am I perfect? No. Do I swear more often than I should? Yes. No one should swear, and when they do, it does make the person look like they are lacking intelligence. Having a truckers mouth is never attractive when you are a woman. But when you live in a world where Paris Hilton is right, it is hard to do the right thing. I refuse to live in a world where Paris Hilton is right.
Natural Beauty. There is nothing wrong with it. When I come home from teaching a dance class or going for a run, I am not going to look like one of those gals in a Nike shoe ad. People believe that makeup is the only thing that makes them pretty and makes them feel better about themselves.
Shame on you.
My Fiance taught me that even when I am sweaty, gross, just waking up, cooking breakfast, giving the dog a bath, that I have natural beauty. No Makeup. No cover up. No concealer brush and mascara. Just. Plain. Me. As my father would say "Well, Lindsey, if Sean thinks you look beautiful after teaching dance class, then you need to hold onto that fella, because no one else will ever think that". Gee, thanks Dad.
What are your thoughts on natural beauty and class? Do you find it more attractive to be all natural?
