Beauty with flaws
Beauty rituals, sacrifices and a program of starvation and excessive individualism encouraged by society. Nothing unusual for modern landscape in which we live. Nothing unusual in search of beauty, is also a part of harmony and balance the human being.
I watched fascinated the collection of Elie Saab. Amazing dresses, sensational material, shine and mystery. The fascination has faded when I noticed the details: the leg of a mannequin, Cinderella failed to hide its cracked skin ...
Some cracks on a dry skin are not end the world, this is just one of a small trouble that ordinary women struggle everyday. Unfortunately, this woman looked with envy at super-woman on the podium, assuming that this creature itself embodies beauty. This ordinary woman can not accept that the temple priestess of beauty may have wrinkled skin or cracks.
The magazines are full of practical advice on how to mimic a perfect skin, if mother nature has not endowed you with a authentic one. Pharmacies prestige offer products that miraculous remove wrinkles, cellulite, stress, dandruff, etc.! I do not sympathetic that girl, but certainly can use a skin treatment, if he wish.
It's sad on what happens to the other side of that glass or glossy cover. I feel bad every time I eat a cake, when I leave pimples or hair on the leg. These are patterns that guide ourselves: to look like a mannequin. To believe that we can never be at their height, but we willing to make every sacrifice to get there.
I think too often we are left blinded by the brilliance of a podium, a name. I missed too much to see swollen veins in the legs, poorly hydrated skin or just some black spots on the face of a mannequin.
