Turn off my phone (alarm on vibrate under my pillow.)
Walk to the bathroom and look at the night's damage to my hair.
I used to hear that females spend a lot of time preening, grooming and generally standing in front of the mirror. Are we vain? Are we just looking after our investment into the gene pool?
In Funny Girl the musical.
Many women over the age know that, "If a girl isn't pretty, like a Miss Atlantic City, all she gets from life is pity and a pat."
Who whats to be Miss Atlantic City? I prefer the Miss Outdoors in Maryland.
Why are girls seen as JUST pretty? Are they? Does it matter?
The definition of beauty: the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).
I noticed that beauty for most is on the outside (their FIRST, part of the definition.) I was in 7th grade and I didn't have the clothes or body or the hair style to be as pretty as the rest. A poor tomboy with a crew cut doesn't quite fit in most public schools.
Years later I realized I've always had an advantage inherent in my features; my smile. Born with a huge mouth that blessed my parents with hours of screams and songs, I can fit all these 32 (sorry not 42) wonderful teeth into it. I've never needed braces or a retainer to move my mouth into near perfection. And that's when I realized my First is when that my beauty isn't in the alignment of my teeth, my cup size or my height. it's in the scar on my lip, and the kink in my hair.
MY beauty isn't in perfection, I'll take the second part of the definition "Qualities Manifested".
