LikmyLipz Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Did you know that:- if shop mannequins were real women they'd be too thin to menstruate?- there are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and onlyeight women 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 lbs 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 WomanThe 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 placewhere love resides. 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 Mother4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything!8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot!

modlang Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 As a fashion designer attempting to make my way in this industry, a male fashion designer no less, it is always refreshing to hear the opinions of women on how they feel the world of fashion represents them, or misrepresents them, as the case may be. I have longed believed that the fashion media does a great disservice to women, especially women of color, and does more to humiliate and shame than it does to empower. The fashion media is more concerned with bullying women into believing they are ugly and that the only way they can improve to to spend horribly large sums of money on products and clothing that is over-priced and mostly uneeded. The fashion press is a tool of the industry and has no idependent voice of it's own. It is ruled and controlled by the designers who advertise within it. Think about this the next time you are skimming through Vogue or Elle. They are not concerned with the health and well-being of women, only their money.

xxlea Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Images of a Mother: so true!!!I've read that before and as usuals brings a tear to my eyes. Ladies here's one for ya:FROM A WOMAN TO A MANI see you looking at me with that look of admiration and confusion I have come to know so well.I see you struggling to figure out what it is about me that won’t allow you to look away.I see you trying to pin point the physical trait that is drawing you so strongly to me.I see you comparing me to the type of women who USUALLY grab your attention.I see you noticing that you aren’t the only man noticing.I see you getting frustrated because you can’t figure out why you thinkI’m so beautiful.Well, Baby, Let me help you out...It’s not my face, you’ve seen much prettier I’m sure.It’s not my make-up, I don’t wear enough to really make a difference.It’s not my hair, it’s nice but plain.It’s not my clothes, lots of other women dress nicely.It’s not my body, I don’t have the kind of measurements to be considered - “superfine.”It’s not my smile; it’s warm and welcoming but not unique enough to stand out.You see, It’s my confidence, the way I don’t seem to care whether you look or not.It’s my humbleness, the way I acknowledge my flaws rather than disguise them.It’s my honesty, the way you automatically feel it’s okay to trust what I say.It’s my tactfulness, the way you never have to worry about your feelings being hurt.It’s my submissiveness, the way I quietly allow you to take charge and be a man.It’s my aggressiveness, the way I go after the things I want in life.It’s my intelligence, the way I think deeply and articulate clearly.It’s my naivete, the way I am willing to let you teach me the things I don’t know.It’s my integrity, the way I show you that I will always do the right things and the way I expect you to do the same.It’s my naughtiness, the way I am willing to let go of my inhibitions sometimes.It’s my sense of humor, the way I bring out the “silliness” in you and the way I make you laugh.It’s my thoughtfulness, the way I comfort you when you are hurt, encourage you when you are strong, help you when you are weak and motivate you to do things you never thought possible.It’s my loyalty, that special way I make you feel like you are the only man alive when I am with you.It’s my independence the way I can pay my own bills.The way I don’t ask YOU to do the things I should do for myself.It’s the way I have a life of my own so that I don’t feel the need to “sweat” you when you are doing things that don’t involve me.Yes, I’m beautiful.I have the kind of beauty that does not fade with age or change with trends.I see you looking, trying desperately to figure out why YOU are so attracted to me.Baby, allow me to let you in on the secret to understanding MY beauty.Look at me with your heart first.Then, look at me with your eyes.Now, Ain’t I the finest woman you’ve ever seen?And, Don’t you FINALLY understand why?------------------People come into your life for reasons not yet known, keep your mind, heart and soul open.AIM: Xxlea77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaP Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Here's one:"Phenomenal Woman"Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's sizeBut when I start to tell them,They think I'm telling lies.I say,It's in the reach of my armsThe span of my hips,The stride of my step,The curl of my lips.I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me.I walk into a roomJust as cool as you please,And to a man,The fellows stand orFall 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 in my waist,And the joy in my feet.I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me.Men themselves have wonderedWhat they see in me.They try so muchBut they can't touchMy inner mystery.When I try to show themThey 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 womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me.Now you understandJust why my head's not bowed.I don't shout or jump aboutOr have to talk real loud.When you see me passingIt 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 of my care,'Cause I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me.~Maya AngelouBut how is this: Originally posted by LikmyLipz:Did you know that:-- one out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder- 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.supposed to brighten up my day?!------------------=)[This message has been edited by ReginaP (edited 01-31-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
