I used to teach self esteem classes to city workers in New Orleans, one of the things I taught them is when men look in the mirror they see three things right with themselves, when women look in the mirror they seen three things wrong with them selves, ( 6 if they feel pressure) The problem today is in the free world society has failed to look and see natural beauty, it isn't accepted because it isn't cool, hip sexy--its set a standard of falseness--if we get "there" we will be happy, if you look like "that" I will always love you, if you had "this" or that" you'd have me. I stopped wearing basecoat when I hit 40, having a less than one year old, who had time? I stopped wearing eye shadow when I was 50, because My eyes got bluer and the dust caused problems with my contacts, lol. Last fall I stopped getting artificial nails done, cost and it was too hard with the horses, well I survived and it is what it is. I am 57, not hwp any longer, I have what SOME of My friends call natural beauty--I am not out of a magazine, I am not artificial, I am Me--and I am alone ( well I hope not for long), because Dominas have to hwp, good looking, big boobed, etc etc etc. But I am dedicated, smart, witty, accomplished, I can drop anyone with a look from these blue eyes, I am not hit on, stared at, oggled or even chatted with most of the time, because I am what I am but I am also not miserable, fighting to be what I am not. I am confident, comfortable and well--trying and at times failing to believe that natural beauty is lasting.
