Hmm. Funny in that ironic way that she doesn't get it then. Her coming from such a background should of opened her eyes to tge oppression of women. I don't think shed be who she was had she been born with darker skin.
That was really the point about "beauty products" and standards they have A LOT of ism's attached to them ![]() Quote:

I think the whole industry is fucked up. I think between the media and the patriarchal attitudes forced on us many many moons ago have devalued women. Many of us fell and still fall in that trap. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with wanting to dress pretty and buy nice things. It's when you feel you have no beauty or value without it. Its when our sons can only see big tits, big hair and name brand jeans. Our whole fucking perception of beauty is distorted.
But I can change that for me today. I can start to live my life differently and hopefully teach my granddaughter the things no one taught me.

I think she does get, it, though, Lady Snow... I wonder if you have a different idea about her quote than I do? While I didn't know Chanel and never had the chance to ask her about it, my perception of it is that she was being very inclusive and accepting of ALL beauties... and simply saying that EVERY woman is beautiful, and if she's not, it's because she's just not taking "care" of herself. I'm a huge fan of taking care of yourself.... but I'm not a huge proponent of expensive cosmetics or beauty regimes...I don't really use them and don't think they are necessary.. but why not take a little 'care' of yourself!

Ms Kitten, some folks can't. It's not because they wouldn't love to be able to or because they are lazy or American. They just can't be it for economic reasons or other reasons.

I use to spend so much money on make-up, creams, you name it. I still buy a little make-up and even wear a very little now and then. I don't think you have to spend a lot to be pretty. Not at all.

I honestly did not struggle with the decision to let my gray hair be. I am 43, almost 44 and I have very dark, almost black hair. I have just gotten grays in the last 3 years or so, and they are silver, and pretty. Age catches us all so why not embrace it and age gracefully?
I also have found myself greatly downsizing on makeup. I prefer natural looks to over made up look. I don't wear any to work, but on weekends I sometimes do put it on, it makes me feel feminine. I am sure this is do to social conditioning. My eyes are really dark and adding more stuff to them just makes me look as if I have dark circles usually so I leave it at mascara and a bit of eyeliner or shadow. I just want to have a quick grooming routine now. In the Summer, I really don't wear any, but in the wWinter, I feel kinda pale and wan so I do it to perk up my complexion. Also, I don't know other Femmes experiences, but the Butches I have always dated have liked the 'natural look' and were not into their girls wearing tons of stuff on their faces. It suited me just fine.

Salt and pepper hair is very sexy, in my opinion. I can understand the desire to color it though. To each their own. I've never been one to think a heavily made-up look is attractive though or that Botox should even be considered. Some of those filler/surgical procedures scare me and they seem to make the person who got them look worse, not better.

I love long grey hair. I also like aged faces with smile wrinkles and crow's-feet! So beautiful, a life story written on skin. I'm looking forward to growing old. ![]() And natural is pretty as well. I'm not wearing make up everyday.

The older I have gotten the more secure and confident in myself I have become, and my "go fuck yourselves if you don't like it" attitude has won out over what society thinks I should look like.
I come from a long line of women whose mantra was "you don't go out in public unless you're made-up and dressed properly" which can really mess with a young girls head. When I go grey (52 and still mostly brown), I will go grey...I am not going to do my roots, and worry about looking younger than I am. **my personal style, not judging anyone else** As far as make-up goes, I wear what I wear because I FEEL good in a bit of eye make-up...my Kasey would rather I didn't wear any, but it's my face and I'll do as I please. I think everyone should do what makes them feel good, because therein is the key to feeling your confident best. IMO lol |

I agree that it depends in your skin tone and how it plays against the gray. I personally don't have the coloring for it, it washes me out. Others look better with gray. I think there is a huge difference between buying into social standards for beauty and truly shinning your most beautiful self. Taking care of our bodies and expressing our vision of beauty is fun and speaks of self love and self respect. In my mind buying into social norms about beauty comes form a place inside ourselves where we believe we are not good enough being who we are. That we must make ourselves easier to like or love. The motivation comes from a sense of lacking. Owning our own style and vision of beauty comes from a place of self empowerment.
There are natural ways to color your hair, that improve your hairs health. You can get blond with Cassia, brunette and black mixing Henna and Indigo and beautiful shades of red and Auburn with Henna. There is an art and procedure to mixing the herbs to get the color you want, this website is full of info and sells really good quality products. www.mehandi.com Natural dyes don't lighten hair so going over gray give you lots of choices. I love the Raven black you can get with mixing Indigo with Henna, it's stunning and there is no chemical yucky-ness to deal with.

I have naturally brown hair (i don't like it) and I dye it red every... 2 weeks. I can't stand the brown sneaking in, so i can't imagine what i'm gonna do when my hair goes gray.

Reading here reminded me of something I wish to share ... just a lil info tidbit
If one does not have the money to buy CoCo Mademoiselle, I know some places give free samples at perfume counters. You have to ask for them. They come in little tin packets and contain enough to use several times. I don't wear it but have an ex who does. |
