I think I am a little burned out on the subject of Lent, repentance, and sacrifice. So, I'd like to start discussing other things, and as this was initially a blog about beauty - about recognizing your own beauty and learning to see the beauty of our Father's creation - I'd like to share about beauty today.
"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.”
- Emma Watson
This quote is so inspiring! I totally agree with Emma: a conservative beauty is mysterious and rather alluring. This beauty invites the observer to get to know her personally, rather than just admire her physically. And how encouraging it would be if we all lived this way! If we only revealed enough of our beauty to invite others to know the real us and not just our outer facade. I truly believe this would be a much less critical world that fills girls with confidence and hope rather than self-criticism and bitterness. Oh, what a sight that would be!
