Good afternoon all - This was sent to me by a friend and I thought, given recents posts, it would be applicable here. Enjoy! Morning , Beautiful ! It is Beautiful Woman Month, and that means you and me. Facts on Figures : There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do. Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14. If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions. The average woman weighs 144 lb. and wears between a 12-14. One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder. The models in the magazines are airbrushed -- not perfect! A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful. Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less. ~Beauty of a Woman~ The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love reside! s. The beauty of a woman Is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, The passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman With passing years -- only grows. An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing," on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing." The Images of Mother 4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything! 8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot! 12 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mother doesn't really know quite everything. 14 YEARS OF A! GE ~ Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either. 16 YEARS OF AGE ~ Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned. 18 YEARS OF AGE ~ That old woman? She's way out of date! 25 YEARS OF AGE ~ Well, she might know a little bit about it. 35 YEARS OF AGE ~ Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion. 45 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wonder what Mom would have thought about it? 65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

What a wonderful thread. Women are so worried about what they look like, including me. I have found beauty in everyone, male and female alike. A person's appearance matters little, when spending the rest of your life with that person. My daughter is only 8 years old, and a little chubby. Not fat at all, mind you. She already feels bad because some of the other little girls in her class are smaller than she is. She's very tall, like her mother. I happen to think she is a beautiful little girl. I am envious of her complexion. She's a mixed child, and just as cute as a button. In saying all this, it's sad when a child as young as she is, has to worry about her appearance. Again, there is beauty in everyone. Obesity, disability, imperfection....we're talking about the whole human race in general. Lets see, a lady has a blemish somewhere on her body. She feels shameful. It's kinda sad that we feel we have to be perfect, when there is no such thing. I'm having to work through these issues myself. So I say, just be who you are. No matter what the world thinks, look at yourself in the mirror with love and respect. Change what you can, if you're unhappy about something. Let the rest be.

This reminds me of some song lyrics: "What's the ugliest part of your body? Some say it's your nose Some say it's your toes I say it's your mind. I think it was on the Reuben and the Jets album by Frank Zappa because it sounded doo wop style.

I agree - my girls are 19 and 12 and, like yours, are biracial. They are beautiful. While I recognize that they re beautiful, I have focused more on being intelligent and educated and kind. In our home, we celebrate "Girl Power" and it is a good thing. They still pay attention to external looks - such is the world in which we live that I do not know if that can be avoided - even when they are young. However, learning they are smart and strong has helped, I think. You are so right - celebrate who you are, change what you can if you feel the need, but accept that beauty is less about how you look and more about who you are. newflowers

Very nice post newflowers.. Thank you for sharing it with us. i think W/we are all beautiful in O/our own ways. i think E/everyone out there has a different "type" person they are looking for and think are beautiful. My daughter is 10 and just getting in the “i have to watch what i eat" stage... always looking and judging appearances sighs i keep trying to convey to her that looks are not so important but it is what her friends all talk about... i keep telling her to accept people for WHO they are and not what they look like... She is way too young to be so worried about this already but it is what society tells our young people. i know we watched a movie the other night also "mean girls" about teenage girls -- WOW i don't remember all that when i was in school. Then there are the "plastics" the perfect model looking teenagers who everyone in school wants to be like yet they are awful, mean and vain. i guess no one wants to see a movie about a cubby nice girl ? Or average looking kids... Maybe all a little off subject sorries Also i am 34 but i wish i could talk it over with my mom frowns 65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

subbiejean - I know what you mean. I see my 12 year and her friends - 7th grade for goodness sakes - terminally worried about being popular and pretty and what to wear and being part of the "in" crowd. It astounds me as neither do I remember that sort of social pressure when I was in school. When I watch the teengirl movies I cringe. Remember when being ten, eleven, twelve was still being a little girl?

Well with all the beauty pageants for little girls, the sexualization of children in advertising, kids being taught about sex and Aids at very young ages, it is impossible for little girls to be little girls these days. Or little boys being little boys either for that matter.

subbiejenn -> RE: Beautiful Woman Month (10/5/2004 5:11:24 PM)
OooOO yes so true! Beauty pageants are awful and the parents are worst then the kids. i have to admit when Hailey was "real" little (1-2) she was in 3 different pageants. 1st place in 1 and 2nd in the 2 others and it was fun but watching the parents with the older girls was awful. Watching how upset, worried and stressed the moms and girls were i said no more. i could hear them when the girls didn't "turn" the right way or didn't smile right at the judges. shakes head

dear newflowers, thank you for your post! i have spent over 10 years being insecure about my weight... i have recently started eating healthy and lost a substantial amount of weight, but still feel overweight especially when comparing my figure to those in magazines, tv and such... i have started becoming more comfortable about my body and become a little more confident about the way i look... but it's still a struggle when constantly bombarded by images of 'perfect' and beautiful women.... although rationally i know that to let society define what a beautiful woman looks like and to set the 'standard' is just plain silly-- but sometimes it hard not to compare myself to those 'ideals' and let those ideals dictate whether or not i am a 'beautiful' person--- not a good or healthy thing to do... it's nice to be reminded that one does not have to be a size 6 to be beautiful-- it's very unrealistic for the 'normal' or perhaps i should say 'average' woman, to get down to that kind of weight--- i should decide for myself what i should look like... i just want to reach a point where i feel more comfortable with myself physically... a person's beauty is so much more than having the perfect figure and being reminded of that is important... thanks :) lonely

newflowers -> RE: Beautiful Woman Month (10/6/2004 4:07:45 PM)
lonelylittlegirl - i could not agree more. The thing I liked best about this message, is it does state the "average" is not at all what we think. We think if size 6's and 7's, when, in reality, that is not it at all. Beauty is so much more than the size one wears. Estring - I do understand that boys (those of all ages) face similar issues. But, being the girl that I am, I rather like the idea of beautiful woman month. newflowers

As a young girl, i was very lucky to have had many phenominal women as role models (family, teachers, friends & their Mom's, sisters etc). i've always believed that beauty is only skin deep. i have known more than a few women who are exceptionally beautiful on the surface while it seemed that from deep within.... their ugliness reigned. Likewise i have known more than a few 'plain Janes' whose inner beauty outshined that of more than a few fashion models. It's unfortunate that not all in society place a higher value on those who radiate a true evidence of REAL beauty that can only be found within one's heart, & soul. Coincidently, i have been a cosmetologist for the past ten years. my profession is one where i am confided in by many of my clientel. Some i've only known briefly yet many share their thoughts and insecurities in confiding in me. Of all the women i have known as clientel who have shared their thoughts in regard to their attractiveness.... i can say, there seem to be more insecure women out there than not. Some are so very insecure that at times i have wished i could cure them from the inside out with something as simple as a perm or color or new cut. At least in taking a few of those 'plain Janes' and helping them to LOOK their best, i've seen a few walk away a bit more confident. It's a start i guess. i've seen both sides though as i have worked with some very beautiful women and have had to hold back from telling them to get their priorities straight. SOME (not all...) are outright snobs who THINK they have it going on yet fail to realize that their priorities are screwy and that they should be seeing the PHYSCOLOGIST rather than the COSMETOLOGIST. ;) This poem is one of my all time favorites. It was shared with me by a very close friend during a time when i was 'finding myself'. i have shared it with many since. It pretty much says it all. INSIDEYOURMIND's, cynnacent1 ------------------------ PHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size But when I start to tell them They think I'm telling lies. I say It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips The stride of my steps The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please And to a man The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees Then they swarm around me A hive of honey bees. I say It's the fire in my eyes And the flash of my teeth The swing of my waist And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say It's in the arch of my back The sun of my smile The ride of my breasts The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say It's in the click of my heels The bend of my hair The palm of my hand The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. darn typos and mispellings... all fixed now. --thank You Master [:)]
