David’s thoughts:
More and more “women’s beauty” seems to me so important and in no way superficial or alienating:
women and the importance of showing off their beauty.
​
It is exciting. To put it simply, the quest for beauty must be understood as a project of coincidence to oneself. Through daily work on her appearance, a woman fulfils who she wants to be through the choices she makes representing herself.
Far from representing her as an object, the pose as subject, beyond just appearance, says something about her being. The always-renewed quest for beauty refers not only to a search for self adequacy, by which a woman will become what she is, but also testifies to the value that she confers on herself as a woman, to be worthy of being loved, that is to say worthy of being adored.
​
Understood in these terms, the process of embellishment obeys a completely different logic to which alienation is commonly reduced. It testifies to a real appropriation of self, which is also an elevation.
If we retain this definition of the quest for beauty as an attempt at the positive appropriation of a body that has been instrumentalised and enslaved for too long, then we must agree - far from making them objects shaped by the gaze of men, it elevates women to the rank of female subject.
By the beauty embodied by women and by their own contribution for their appearance, we shine and exist in the eyes of the world. The expression of feminity magnify the Human race.
Ladies, by embracing your principle of feminity, you become free, creative, radiant and powerful again. It is not something you have to achieve, it is a living reality IN YOU that you have to take care of and leave the way open for it to flourish in order to give you everything you have been looking for until now. Open up to your essence and freely and lovingly celebrate your nature.
