I shared not too long ago that I had watched some episodes of Real Housewives.<\/p>\n
In one of the shows (I’m thinking it was probably Beverly Hills)<\/em> one of the women spoke about how it’s pretty much expected that you have plastic surgery. Actually, I don’t think she even said ‘pretty much’, I think she simply said that it’s expected.<\/p>\n While I firmly believe that each person should do with their own body as they feel best, I do get pretty perturbed (to put it quite mildly) about all the ‘expectations’ put out there on women, now, more then ever.<\/p>\n Then today, someone shared this link on facebook: \u00a0http:\/\/www.luckymag.com\/blogs\/luckyrightnow\/2011\/08\/rachel-weisz–emma-thompson-and-kate-winslet-are-forming-an-anti<\/a><\/p>\n The article says that three actresses, Rachel Weisz, Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet are forming an anti-plastic surgery league.<\/p>\n I’m not sure just how ‘true’ that is (the actual league bit), but I am more then thrilled to see some Hollywood ‘glam’ standing up for a woman’s right to simply age gracefully!<\/p>\n Why is it that we seem to think a woman with poofed up lips (and boobs) is so much prettier then one with a few laugh lines around her eyes and breasts that are proud to have nursed children, and possibly sagging some because of it?\u00a0(FIVE babes in my case, I can roll’em up and stuff’em in, and I’m darn proud of it!)<\/em><\/p>\n I especially appreciated this part:<\/p>\n And\u00a0Rachel Weisz<\/a>\u00a0raises a point that I think we can all get behind: \u201cPeople who look too perfect don\u2019t look sexy or particularly beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.<\/p>\n And what I’d like to know, is who gets to deem who as pretty, sexy or beautiful anyways? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let’s not forget that truth!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n And with that, I’m going to share one last time that we have a contest still ongoing, which I will be closing this weekend. This is YOUR chance to win one of TWO free gift certificates for $20.00 in our shop! FREE!<\/p>\n
\nWhy is it we’ve stooped so low as to allow anyone to have that particular right?<\/p>\n
