11 Beauty (un)rules! A Must Read

I am a great fan of Kate Fridkis whom I interviewed her.. I just read one of her articles on a website and I patted myself for featuring her. I would say my blog is honored to have her interviewed. Oh, she writes so wonderfully well and yet so simply. She is a celebrity in the making, I tell you. The best thing about her writing is that she writes openly about a topic that makes most of us shy. She clearly writes things that we dont even say to ourselves. You have to read her to believe what I am saying.

This is the article that I read and I dont think I have agreed with any article so much ever before. Kate, stay the way you are.. because you truly rock!

Mirror, Mirror: 11 Beauty Rules

I have this giant list of beauty rules stuck in my head. It was implanted there when I was just a little girl, and although a lot of the work was done by this really popular girl in my 6th grade Hebrew School class, American Culture also contributed plenty.

Don’t wear short skirts unless you have long legs. Don’t wear horizontal stripes, you’ll look wider. Wear black, it’s slimming. Don’t wear long dresses unless you have long legs. Moisturize or you’ll get wrinkles. Don’t wear red lipstick if you’re too pale. Stay out of the sun. Get a tan. Don’t wear something low cut unless you have cleavage (you’ll look like a boy in a dress)/ don’t wear something low cut if you have cleavage (you’ll look trashy). Don’t wear anything anyone might consider sexy to work. Don’t wear heels if you’re too tall. Don’t wear flats if you’re too short. Don’t eat too much cake. If your nose is too big, you’re screwed. If you have short legs, your life will be sadder than it might have been.

On and on and on and on forever.
